Default Airtronics/Sanwa Radio Questions

I use the Airtronics MX-V transmitter and like it a lot, but I've been thinking of upgrading to a MT-4S. However, if I stick with my current FH2 (FHSS-2) receivers, will the latency be faster or the same as my MX-V???

And if I do this, then I'll give my son my MX-V, but he wants to use cheap receivers (he is currently using the FlySky transmitter). I read on the Airtronics website that you can use aftermarket FH2 receivers for the MX-V. Where can you get the aftermarket receivers? Thanks.

Note, I know this probably belongs on the Radio forum, but I hang out here and trust you guys!

I also currently use Sanwa (best systems by a mile for me). I'm not sure how much faster the MT-4S will be, although unless you're a pro racer, I'm not sure you'd notice. The added features of the MT-4S are worth the upgrade though. For me, as the M12S has been released, you're better off spending a little more and going for the M12, now that prices have reduced.

On another note, if you're looking to stay with your FHSS2 receivers, you might consider the M11X (radio I use), it will work with the FHSS2 receivers, but is very tuneable as the former top steer wheel Sanwa offered a few years ago. It will also use the faster FHSS3 receivers like the Rx451R etc. Can pick up a good used one with a receiver for 100-150.

Of the cheaper FHSS2 receivers, there is an LRP receiver called the C3 that will work. As will the Ansmann 3.1. I run a C3 in my 1/12 car as it's tiny.

That rx should work fine with mt4s as its just an upgraded mt 4 which I use with my fssh2 rx and it works fine what you have to do is bind it to the rx in the bind menu. I dought if your latency will be less with the tx as u need the latest fssh4 rx to get that latency. but I dont think you can tell the difference as I cant and Ive been running this setup for 4 years now.

Stoney thanks for the info. Turns out a friend sold me a M11X for a great price. I know it will work with FHSS-2 receivers and I may buy a FHSS-3 to see if it's noticeably faster. However, I read on another thread that when I switch between cars, one with FHSS-2 receiver and the other with the new FHSS-3 receiver, that I will have to re-bind it every time. That doesn't sound right to me, I would think the binding to each separate receiver would be saved in the model information and automatically change when I select the proper model.

Which is correct?

Hi Glen I just did a search and found the manual for the MX11X tx but have look at it and it should tell you everything you need to know about the mX11x I have no expereience with This radio but I can tell if it is anything like the MX3 or the MT4 its a great radio to use. I find it hard to believe that you have to rebind it to other rx's everytime you change. it has a memory and you just bind it to each model.I dont know this as fact Have a look at this and let me know if this helps you out. Michael

Hi Ronny, look in your manual for the RX binding its on page 54 and 56. It doesnt look like you can bind the RX371 to this tx because this type of RX is FSSH2 and the MTS only supports FSSH3 and FSSH4. Did you buy this TX new it should have come with a newer RX.

Is a MT-4S radio compatible with the new servo PGS-CX?

That just means you can't use the SSL function which I believe let's you program the servo. But it should work just fine as a normal servo without programming functioms

You realize that was three and a half years ago?
