AIRTRONICS RX-472 The RX-472 provides an extremely low latency and high frame rate, giving you a more connected feel to your model. Combined with Airtronics or Sanwa Super Response SRG digital servos, the RX-472 will give you reaction speeds like never experienced before. When used with an Airtronics M12 or Sanwa EXZES-Z transmitter and the Sanwa Super Vortex ZERO ESC, you can change many ESC programming mode options directly from the transmitter using the transmitter's CODE AUX function.
