During race days I usually have two cars between which I switch the transponder since I only have one, and that's gonna be even more of a pain in the arse with this kind of receiver. Maybe I need to use a small dedicated battery for the transponder. Got plenty of those coin-sized ones, would just need to sort actually connecting the transponder to one with some wiring.
And I only just realized that moving the trigger moved the entire trigger without affecting the throttle/brake ratio, silly me misunderstood that one. Oh well. I just measured, and the brake trigger movement distance is 5mm in the MX-V and 8mm in the MT-S so there's indeed improvement nonetheless, but still a far cry from some of the other radios that seem to have equal movement to both directions from neutral. But, hopefully it's enough combined with the curve adjustment.
Just be careful with newer electronics if you put some in the future, the tapered edge varies so that edge you cut off could lead to a loose connection with a different servo/ESC. I know my transponder is actually the easiest of them to plug in because of the lead it uses. And my ESC lead is also similar. My servo lead is the only one I needed to trim myself.
