I've not bought an MT-4S from Banzai, but I heard a rumour that the overseas units are not backward compatible. You might want to check that.

On the MT4S with 2 482 receivers, it stated: FH2, FH3, FH3F, FH4T, FH4FT. I couldn't get the description off the 481 receivers model. I would imagine they are the same.

Such a dilemma, value for $148, comfort for $25X (and their newest radio), and backwards compatibility, with the same speed as the current generation, two receivers, and a bag. I honestly don't think I'd fork out the coin for Super Vortex. I'd look at Futaba, but Sanwa seems to smoke them in latency.

I've not seen it listed anywhere, but I got mine from my Japanese colleague a few weeks back. It's great... Fits well, lightweight, and lasts as long as you'd expect.

I do think the 18650 is probably going to be the longest life option, but I like the USB charging feature and I'd feel that the hole in the base was useless if I went that route... Don't like useless things.

Yup. I had a US MT-4S and it worked with FHSS/2/3/4. I bought a Japanese one and it only does FHSS-3/4. It also supported some other weird protocols that I've never heard of (DSC or something? Can't remember).

I purchased MT-44 Transmitter and receiver. The item works well when turned on but I am having a problem. After the first time I powered the transmitter on I powered it off and the next time I used the transmitter, the item would not power on unless I unplugged the battery first. I would work OK until I powered the transmitter down again and attempted to switch it on. I replaced the batteries to see if that was the issue but with new batteries it behave the same way. Otherwise the transmitter works the way it should.

Anyone have any ideas what it could be and how to fix it or should I just return it.

Thanks

Hi

Do you charge this battery as Lipo?

18650's are generally some version of LiIon(INR,IMR,ICR). I know my iChargers have a LiIo mode. So check your chargers manual.

I charge mine on a LiIon specific charger, you can get simple .5 amp single 18650 usb chargers for $7-10.

Also for case's, I recommend the Condition1 #75 Pelican style case. You can get them for $40 off amazon with prime.

Edit. Also if its not been said, Be very careful if your soldering leads to an 18650. I think you can cause thermal runaway on 18650 sized batteries around 225-250 C

My charger charges a single cell Li-ion to a safe max voltage of 4.1 vdc. It can be charged to a higher voltage at you own risk. Li-ion's are more violent than Lipos.


Pass you soon...
