Default The new mt4

Hey guys
So I love the sanwa mt4. They way the dig switch operate's. But they don't make the mt4 now and I'm wondering is the MTS the new version or the mt4s?
I don't need telemetry at all, just want to run moa bully 2 setup with front n rear dig and to underpower rear axle on the fly.
Thanks guys

Nope. The only way to get a dig switch like the mt4 or mt4s is an m12. I picked up a new barely used mt4 a while back so I have a backup if something ever happens to my current radio.

Is the mt44 a good choice since I can't get the mt4 new? What's the options for dig control and for changing the power percentage to each moa motor on the fly?
Thanks guys

Mt44 doesn't have the lever. Only mt4 or mt4s. The m12 also has the lever but it's big coin.

LllBut it looks like the mt44 can be set up to run front and rear dig on there site. I understand it will be different switch/button but am I correct that the mt44 has the features to setup front and rear dig and moa motor underpowering options.

Or what controller would you say is going to be able good for my needs
- front and rear dig
- moa motor underpowering % adjustments
- option to assign buttons/switches to dig/trim/moa % for underpowering
-$500 Australian or less
- needs to be available in stock new
I'm not stuck on a specific brand or dig operation style. As long as I can have these features that are comfortable and easy to use/setup
Thanks snyds

Hacked flysky gt3c is under $100 USD and fully capable of what you want. Losikid sells them through his website. Receivers can be had for under $10 too so it is a very inexpensive option.

Spektrum dx4s will do what you want too. A little more expensive but orange receivers are cheap.

I'm sure most any sanwa will do what you want without a lever but they are all pretty expensive. I figure if you're going to have to resort to buttons to control the mixing you may as well go cheap.

I seen that the futaba 4pk uses buttons for dig and is really popular.
Is the m12 going to be that much better than the mt44? Ill only need 4 channel's, no telemetry, MOA mixing on the fly, rear dig, has to be still in production.
I like the spectrum dx5r seems like its a great controller for what I need. Both the mt44 and m12 look great too. I guess all 3 radios are going to cover my needs. I like the dx5r with the dropped steering wheel Which the M12 comes with in the kit I think. Also with the M12, is the mixing changed by buttons or a dial? Thanks
Voodoobrew, how is the dig operated on your dx5r? Buttons or a lever/switch? And also your MOA mixing, is it buttons or a dial?
Thanks guys

We've also got the recently released Flysky FS-NB4 Noble - They are updating the number of channels to 18 next year, and coming out with a new smaller receiver option in a couple months...

Battery life - 4 hours on the handle, 10 hours on the base...

And you can charge your phone off the base's USB port!

Lanyard loop, so you won't drop it while climbing on the rocks...

The receiver it comes with has such a nifty feature, the way the wires all plug in sideways instead of straight down, should make for a lower-profile electronics install.

A very different take on pistol-grip radios:

FlySky FS-NB4 - ambidextrous pistol grip
