Hi
Can anyone recommend a good reliable cheap receiver compatible with a Sanwa MT44, I have the RX482 in my buggy but looking for cheaper alternatives for a second and third cars (which have analogue servos).
Thanks

SMD do one for around £35.
Not used one myself but at half the price of a 481/482 it might be worth a shot.

Analogue servos could give you another problem, as I think most of the receivers now might be "too fast" for analogue servos.
I'm sure I remember that the 451 was the last sanwa receiver that would happily run analogue servos. I'm sure the 451R was faster, but stated by sanwa as not being compatible with analogue servos.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of the analogue servo issue, I ran a Power HD servo last night with the RX482 OK. It sounds like a good reason to pop into MB models anyway to have a look and discuss.
