decent steerwheel transmitter + steering exponentals

[Andrius]

Im looking for decent steerwhell transmitter which got proper exponentals. I mean i would like draw exponental curve on steering channel. Currently using ansman w6 its not too bad for price however i can only set percentage rate on exponentals. Looked at new absima CR4T however seems doesnt have proper exp's on steering either. wondering sanwa m12 can do? any other ones cheaper ones? thanks for any ideas and advises. much appreciated

What do you need it for? Sounds like a handful of poor set up ? Sorry not getting at you

[stumpiey]

depends of your budget, sanwa MX-V is great value and won't break the bank.

but it sounds like it is more of a car set up issue than radio, give us some more info, maybe we can help

I have this in the for sale section right now.

^ I was going to suggest that if I was I'm the market for a new tx it would already be on the way to me :)

Spektrum R series shows an expo graph on the screen.

Currently running 1/8 ebuggy durango which got sharp steering. Its really good do corners, car is just amazing on sharp corners, however hard to do mild turns on high speeds. steering exponentals set on 45%. I wish to draw steering exponental curve by my self and believe problem could be sorted. Obviously cant do on this cheap radio. Idea is take over sponsored drivers and win the race, seems it doesnt happening often :( . I looking for not so expensive radio which got such function might cheaper than m12. Heard lots bad things about spectrums so wish to stay away from it. any ideas? much appreciated

[Andrius]

by the way does sanwa mt4 got such functions? cheers

[badger5]

The MT4 does have the functions you're after, ice had mine for probably 2 years now and it's never given a problem. Awesome bit of kit to be honest.

The cr4t has expo on the steering setup in two parts also steering rate/duel rate/steering speed what ever u know it as which can be setup different speed out and speed to centre/return

Yes tcboy. however CR4T doesnt let to draw exponental curve on steering. isnt it?

[steveproracing]

futaba 4 pksr can do everything you want!! imo the best radio on the market except for the new futaba. rcmart have them with a case and 2 receivers delivered for approx £175 at min crazy bargain!!

Are you sure you aren't dialling in positive expo? In order to decrease steering around centre you need to select a negative value, e.g. -45% (I've never gone below -20 on a bell crank system). Spektrum is the exception to this rule, positive to lessen steering around centre.

The response lag from the Absima system is horrendous, stick to big brands; Futaba, Sanwa, KO etc.

There is absolutely no benefit to be gained from 'drawing' your own expo curve.

Try resetting the model you have or do another model, rebind everything and go from there.
If you still have probs drop by a local track and im sure someone there will help you out.

I can really recommend sanwa mt4 or the futaba 4pl

I second that. I use the ex10 eurus. KO are quality radios.

TBH you won't thank me for saying this but the Ansmann W6 is the kiss of death (and the Absima CR4T from what I can see is a re-badged W6 in a different case), I bought a W6 last year and sent it back after a week because the exponential curve is set up wrong from the factory.

It's OK at 0% but when I tried to use the steering exponential function on mine it changed the steering in one way when I turned left, and in the opposite way when I turned right!! Try it on 100% and you'll see what I mean, it's not really usable.

I bought a Sanwa MT4 a year ago and had no issues with it at all, totally agree with Badger5, it's fantastic. The RX461 receiver it comes with is so fast it makes an SC1256 servo feel more like a 1258!! The MX-V is another good option, it's like the MT4 without all the bells and whistles if you're on a budget it gives you Sanwa quality without breaking the bank.

Plus the fact unlike Spektrum, i've never needed to run a power cap with Sanwa even when using Savox servos.

I've always used Sanwa, before the W6 I had an Ansmann W3.1 (which is a re-badged Sanwa MX Sport) but the W6/CR4T is derived from a FlySky GT3B system which is about £25 from China (see links below), they put an Ansmann badge on it to sell it for £80 in Europe which to me is downright irresponsible.

Good stuff Andrius and thanks for the link, I didn't know HK were selling these and that's even cheaper than my MT4 which I got from RCMart!!

I'll be insanely jealous if you go for the MT4S with backlight:)

[JonyNitro]

How do you work that out! You sure it's not £245!

In fact i wasnt convinced what exactly choose between MT4S or M12. Decided go for M12 and recently purchased it. Wasnt big difference in price. I hope i wont regret that. :)
