Sanwa / Airtronics M12 (Check first post for FAQ & Info)
#2401
Hello everyone, I did a quick check with the search function but nothing came up... Is there a way to adjust EPAs beyond 150 on the steering? My servo travels over maybe 100 degrees with both sides set a 150, but I need an extra bit of throw and a longer servo arm is not an option. This is a bit frustrating since the servo output can physically turn at least 180 degrees when unplugged. Any help?

Need some input, I’m installing a new servo in my car. I’m trying to get the servo horn as close to 90 deg as possible but it’s off. If I use subtrim I’m at 120 Right on my transmitter. Should I use trim instead? If I remove the horn and try to put at different angle I’m getting the same problem but now at 120 left give or take. Any input?

I have got my Sanwa M12 Transmitter back after it was stolen and recovered from my propety.
I don't know what the other guy did with it but, when i bind the transmitter to the rx-482 reciever blue light goes on but the servo and speed controler won't recieve input from the the controler. Tried all the modes
When i rebind to my m12s it works fine.
The m12 controller is say the throttle lever and steering wheel are working.
I would like to get working for my four year old to drive a car during this lockdown any ideas what settings would caouse this or is there a way to do a factory reset of the controller?
thanks

Hello:
I have brand new in-box, never used, Airtronics M12 & M12S radio systems. I purchased years ago (2016), but have been stored at home. I am now opening them up. I plan to use for (nitro) RC boat racing.
I have various model receivers (RX-461, RX-462, RX-471, RX-471W). Also several Airtronics brand servo's.
Are there any serious problems I should be aware of using these radios? I always thought these M12 models were very good units?
Appreciate your input.
Dave

Hey thanks!
I will be using 4-cell 4.8V Tx NiCAD packs. I’m curious if others on here have as well? If there were any issues?
The M12 owners manual states (quote):
“This transmitter has an operating input voltage range of 4.0V to 9.6V”. This should provide enough voltage drop range (ie. dropping from 4.8v to say 4.7v).
Anyway, I have quite a collection of expensive old-school NiCAD chargers and cyclers. Not yet ready to switch over to modern battery technology (I know they’re better, all the way around). But I’m fine running 5-cell 6V (1600mah to 2000mah Rx packs, and 4-cell 4.8V 2000mah Tx packs)
