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?

Tygertyger, have you checked that the dual rate setting on the steering channel is at the maximum? What is the application that needs this much travel?

Hopefully you got this sorted by now, but just in case- make sure that you zero the subtrim before you reattach the servo horn. You may need to attach it rotated one or two splines over so that the wheels are pointing straight. If you're still having trouble check your front turnbuckles to make sure they are equal toe/camber or at least close to equal length.

Just got my M12s RS, do you set your servos to F70:B30 or leave at F50:B50 for nitro buggies?

Also, I assume that ProTek servos such as the SBL170 we set the bind option to SHR and not SSR?

Having the same problem with mine. Gonna attempt to open it up and take a look.

yes 70/30 and SHR with that servo

Thank you

Does anyone know where to buy the wheel that comes factory on the M12 RS. Or has anyone upgraded their wheel to something else and have that specific wheel they would like to sell?

Help
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

I would go through all the models and clear every single one. This will erase all programming for each model, similar to a factory reset

verify failsafe number correct for the receiver,proper binding hitting the button the second time

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

Dave the unit is great and works well! M17 is the newest radio.

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)

You're welcome
