New Sanwa MT-44 4-channel 2.4GHz radio system

There is a special receiver case for 482, part number 107A41302A. If you need something that will fit standard receiver box, 472/471 is the way to go.

I tried to purchase a MT-4s from the LHS. They told me is was discontinued and suggested the MT-44 which isn't available yet. I was okay with the price point of the MT-4s but the MT-44 is just enough more to make me consider the M12s or even another brand, although it is tough to beat the Sanwa feel and latency. I know the 4s is still available online but I want to support the LHS.
My main concern though is if the 482 receiver will fit in most radio boxes or will I need a different reciever?

This is very tempting.. The lack of service since the distributor change is deafening and I'm not sure I will buy unless that changes.

Just upgrade your firmware right away. Mine came with 1.01.03, while the current one is 1.01.09. With the original firmware, assignment to SW1 and SW2 didn't work (among some other things).

crap. that might be an issue for me. i'm sure whatever software it comes with isn't mac compatible.

Don't worry, the procedure doesn't require any specific software. You just need to copy the new firmware to Micro SD card, into a specific directory. Then you insert the card into the transmitter, and start update procedure from the menu. It is actually quite simple procedure, and it works perfectly.

I wasn't able to find any. The one that came with the receiver could have a bit better translation to English, but it is OK (readable).
Is there anything specific you are looking for? I can take a picture of that page (but please don't ask me to take picture of all pages ;-)).

After a day with the radio, I'm pleased:
I'm glad that I haven't bought DX6R from Spektrum, because I would pay almost twice as much for the radio, and I wouldn't get even close to the functionality I get with SSV G2.
- SSL with Super Vortex Gen2 through RX-482 is working. This was the main reason why I bought it.
- Spektrum servo is running in SHR mode
- ob1 light controller can be controlled through AUX2 (CH4), though I can only turn lights on/off (it can't really read the SSL channel for brake/reverse lights). I've set the AUX2 channel to POINT mode, assigned it to SW2, PUSH mode.
- Telemetry is receiving all the data except motor temp, because it doesn't have the sensor.
- Backlight is a very neat feature
- Can't complain about how it feels
