Why the Sanwa M17-491-2 Stands Out

For dedicated RC drivers seeking top-tier performance, the Sanwa M17-491-2 Transmitter delivers a blend of speed, precision, and configurable controls. Sanwa engineered the M17 with race-grade response and flexible settings to meet the needs of competitive racers and serious hobbyists.

Response Speed and Control

The M17-491-2 uses the FH5 protocol to achieve industry-leading response times, giving sharper inputs and faster feedback on track. Ultra Response Mode (SUR) reduces latency so steering and throttle commands register almost instantly, an advantage in close racing situations.

Ergonomics and Build

At about 510 grams, the M17 is lighter than previous models while maintaining structural stiffness for long sessions. The detachable throttle unit is a world-first, allowing pilots to fine-tune spring tension, and both steering and throttle positions are adjustable for personalised comfort.

Modern Connectivity and Custom Setup

The colour display and touch panel simplify programming, and a Micro SDHC slot lets you manage firmware updates and telemetry logs with ease. The transmitter also supports multi-setting PGS servos and pairs well with advanced units like the SUPER VORTEX Gen2 PRO.

Specifications

  • Display: Color LCD (480x320)
  • Weight: Approximately 510g
  • Response Modes: SUR, SSR, SHR, NOR
  • Compatible Receivers: RX-491, RX-482, RX-472, RX-47T, RX-462, RX-461

The Sanwa M17-491-2 Transmitter combines lightning-quick responsiveness with extensive tuning options, making it a strong pick for racers and experienced hobbyists wanting precise, configurable control.

The FH5 protocol reduces transmission delay and improves signal stability, which helps steering and throttle inputs register faster for tighter lap times.
You can change steering and throttle throw, reposition controls, tweak throttle spring tension via the detachable unit, and load custom settings from the Micro SDHC card.
The transmitter is compatible with RX-491 and other listed RX receivers, offering full telemetry and reliable connectivity when paired correctly.
Yes, using the Micro SDHC slot you can save telemetry logs and apply firmware updates without specialist tools, making field maintenance straightforward.
