Performance Focused Sanwa M17-491-2 Transmitter

The Sanwa M17-491-2 is aimed at racers and advanced hobbyists who want instant control and flexible tuning. Sanwa packed the M17 with features to sharpen handling and streamline setup for demanding driving conditions.

Fast Response for Competitive Use

Equipped with the FH5 protocol, the M17-491-2 delivers top-tier response times to reduce control lag. Selecting Ultra Response Mode (SUR) gives you the fastest input-to-action performance, which can make a measurable difference in race situations.

Adjustable Ergonomics and Robust Feel

At roughly 510 grams, the transmitter keeps weight low while improving stiffness over earlier models. The detachable throttle unit allows personal tuning of spring tension and both steering and throttle positions are adjustable to suit different driver preferences.

Advanced Interface and Expandability

The touch-enabled colour display simplifies programming and model management, and the Micro SDHC slot handles firmware updates and log storage. Support for PGS servo multi-settings and compatibility with systems like SUPER VORTEX Gen2 PRO broaden upgrade paths.
