Not uncommon with Sanwa receivers, even on the air versions - use an Exacto knife to shave down the skinny sides, or sand them down to make them fit..

That's the thing, my connectors don't have the key tab on the side (futtaba style) there just standard. I can not find any connector that fits

Do I have to use a Z connector only or something else

You'll have to sand them down or replace them with TQ wire plugs or protek plugs. The stock HW plugs are too big.

Default RC Newbie question

I purchased an Airtronics MX Sport(my friend still uses one from his old racing days and it felt great compared to my rtr stuff),but no receivers.I think I know it needs FHSS-2.My question is,does it have to be Sanwa/Airtronics?I can't find any anywhere.Thanks for any help.It's not a huge deal because the tx was cheap.Just looking forward to using it.Thanks again.

Anyone found options at under $50 (excluding dasmikro)? Seems they are all $65 plus now.

There's a worldwide microchip (among other things) shortage, plus shipping issues, which is pushing pricing up.
I've had success with OMG racing Sanwa clone which has a nice bind button instead of binding plug for similar price.

I just received two AGF ARX-482R that I ordered from Banggood, came in under $50 and both the packaging and the units are very nice.

I have the das mikro ones as well, and the AGF is much better build quality.

A very nice bonus feature is that this receiver actually supports SSL telemetry for my Sanwa ESC when plugged into the BATT port.
This is not mentioned in the instructions or marketing materials explicitly, but worked when I tried it just now.
Motor temps and RPM are coming in crystal clear, I haven't tried ESC settings yet though.

Is anyone aware of an RX available for FHSS-2?

Well, I got one of the DasMikro units, because they are the cheapest. No instructions what so ever. Thankfully, the binding process was as simple as selecting bind on MT-S radio, and wait a couple of seconds. 100 yard range test is good.

Will surely give this receiver a good bumpy ride in the next few days/weeks to come.

Anybody have any issues with long term use on one of the DasMikro Sanwa FH3 FH4 compatible receivers? Holding up well to dust and vibrations?

Default 1 model, 2 different cars linked help

I have a M17 and I bought some of these receivers. I've created 2 different models and bound each receiver to its own model. Problem is 1 model will control 2 car. I've deleted the model and rebound and yet the problem still exists. Can someone assist me with this?
DasMikro receivers BTW.

Thank You,
John

In the bind menu, make sure you change the security link number to a value not used in the other model.

There's a 'v2' for DasMikro now? Maybe I just haven't looked in awhile.
