So I guess we are all ok

PS. Charged using Turnigy Reaktor (iCharger clone I believe) on Lilo mode).
Sounds good


Pass you soon...

So I just bought an mt44 . An upgrade coming from my 6 year old 4pl. I couldn't take the dead band of the 4pl anymore since me and my friend tried his mt4 on my kit.

Impressions and things I've noticed so far:
-Smaller and lighter compared to my 4pl.
-Firmware update process was way faster than I expected.
-Didn't expect how small the battery compartment was. Waiting on my order of a 18650 battery.
-Steering wheel has a nice black/dark chrome finish.
-The seam between the left and right plastic seems more pronounced compared to my 4pl but it's smooth to the touch
-As an earlier poster mentioned, the handle does seem unnecessary.
-Trim buttons, and the select and back buttons feel nice and flush. Switch 1 and 2, dial, and selector wheel have way more slop. Not really a problem.
-The included rx-482 has such a small footprint but the plugs are absolutely h hard to insert and remove. Had to trim some plugs.
-Had to change the start up to instant instead of demo in system. It was slow to start up showing the sanwa screen.

Also, my electronics seem compatible at least with the shr modes.

Hi guys,

Considering purchasing an MT-44, can anyone comment on the size compared to a MT-4S, I was looking at a carry bag, the 40th anniversary bag, which is suited to the 4S as best I can tell, will it fit the 44?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,
It's basically the same size with the exception of the folding handle on the mt-44

To read the motor rpm and temp, do I just need extra sensors or do I need to change to a vortex type d?

Default Servo chattering

I've just upgraded from mt4 to mt44 ,and now have steer servo chattering, with a mks bls 599 servo .anyone else have any problems? Beforehand, with the mt4 it was silent .if only the receiver is turned on its silent. But with transmiter on, noisy, chattering bump

Going to be getting back into racing after a long, long time away (10 years). Will probably be racing 4wd, off-road, indoors on clay. Any reason this transmitter wouldn't fit that bill? I'm trying to dig up differences on this one versus the much more expensive model... Anything I absolutely must have in the 12s? This one seems really nice for the money. I had an M8 back in the day and it served me well. I loved that transmitter.

On the Sanwa MT44, has anyone used the LED Unit feature?

If I'm thinking this is working how I hope, LED-TH would be a breaking LED on the Throttle side?

I'm playing around with it now (would be awesome on an F1 car). Anyone have any info on this?

You can actually do this? I haven't seen anything on the tx about this.

I played around with it and couldn't seem to get anything working.

If anyone knows I would love to hear what to do.

I have the MT-44 and with the RX472. I understand it telemetry capable. Does Telemetry only work if used with the Vortex ESC? I'm looking for temp and voltage sensors. Is there any I can attach to the receiver for use with a non-Vortex setup?

Yeah I asked this earlier too but no one answered. I know the mt4 had some sensors with it that can get motor temp too.

Yes, but you have to use either the RX-461 or RX-462 receiver. You just have to buy the sensors separately. RX-462 has the voltage terminal included. The 472's telemetry only works with their SSL ESC.

I think you meant this, but just to be clear -- the RX-462 has the voltage sensor included, so you don't have to buy it.
