Precision Control with the Sanwa M17-491-2

The Sanwa M17-491-2 Transmitter is designed for model racers who need high fidelity steering and throttle control. Sanwa combined rapid response technology with ergonomic adjustability to support refined driving techniques.

Response and Handling Accuracy

Powered by the FH5 system, the M17-491-2 achieves minimal latency for fast, accurate inputs. Engaging Ultra Response Mode (SUR) sharpens command timing, which is valuable in close pack racing and technical sections.

Comfort, Weight and Custom Fit

Weighing approximately 510 grams, the transmitter improves on previous models with a stiffer chassis and lower mass for comfortable use. The detachable throttle module lets you set spring tension and both steering and throttle positions can be adjusted to suit personal ergonomics.

Interface and Expansion Options

The vivid colour screen and touch controls make programming quick, while the Micro SDHC slot handles backups and firmware updates. Compatibility with PGS servo multi-settings and support for units like SUPER VORTEX Gen2 PRO add flexibility for upgrades.

The Sanwa M17-491-2 offers a compelling mix of rapid response and nuanced setup options, making it an excellent choice for racers seeking consistent, high-precision control.

Yes, you can store and switch between multiple model profiles, and transfer them using the Micro SDHC card for quick setup changes between sessions.
The steering unit is repositionable, so left-handed pilots can configure the controls to mirror right-handed layouts for comfortable operation.
When paired with compatible receivers like the RX-491, the M17 supports telemetry channels for battery, signal quality and other sensor data, all loggable via the SDHC card.
