Good to hear Steven. You will not be disappointed.
Josh and I have put a lot of work into this but I am really happy with the end result (after the update)
Futaba is listening and working hard to meet the crawlers needs.

So has the lowest button on the radio now become pointless ? after the update is done can you still use that button ? If so would it still have to cycle from center to rear to front ?

With Futaba radios you can program buttons to do many things. It is still used for the pre-programmed 4WS mixing. You can also set it up to control a program mix as well. Those are a couple options.

That's the sweet news I was looking for. Guess I'll be sending it in for the updates but oh well, NO turning back now.

First off great video. My question is can I setup a button that I can press and will take my rear motor back to 100% so I don't have to cycle back up to 100%? thank u

PS1 cannot be assigned to mixing function. You can setup a mix to cancel out the value. This is kind of a funky way to do it and I don't recommend it.

Nope, you just have to click it up, just like on a 4PK. Really though you never will need to drop the rear more than a couple clicks so it's not a big deal.

In the End Of your Video you showed Dialing down the Rear Esc, When you Dial down say 20% and then Dig does it reset the 20% or does it remember were it was

I hope that makes sence

Just to touch o this so if you leave it ar 70% when you go back and forth until you take the rear back to 100% it will stay at 70% even on allwheel as well as just rear dig correct?

Correct. You have to tell it what to do, it won't override what you say to do.
