Just changing it in the menu does not work.
I'm going to giggle a bit inside every time youtubers say they feel more connected with the sanwa compared to another radio when the difference is so small it is on the scale of unnoticeable and also that the radio comes default with the normal servo mode and it took us 5 rebinds of the RX for the setting to apply. So the statement "feel more connected" is a bit of a overstatement when it is a big chance they are less connected... But latency and update rate is not what makes a high end radio feel good, it is probably down to the spring strength and how it feels when driving that makes a more personal touch to it.

The Futabas I have tested also have the problem with a rebind to activate the setting on update rate. But the Futaba have the faster digital mode as default where as Sanwa have the slower mode as default.
So the only way to verify the Sanwa is in the faster mode is with the analyzer? The settings in the menu may not be correct?
