So you don't have the front in channel 2? If you plan on running the winch down then you have to run the front in channel 2.

COuld anybody tell me waht the advnatges are to having the 4pk over a nomadio. I ask becasue I own a nomadio (react and sensor), and am wondering if the 4pk is actually a "better" radio. Granted, it does not have telemetry, but other than that I mean. (and of courese availability of parts).

It's like comparing a nikko rc to a custom berg

Which is the nikko?

Either way, that is a bad comparison. The 4pk and Sensor are both about $500. They both have about the same features. The difference from what I can tell is that the 4pk has better fit and finish, and is more available. The Nomadio has more features (from what I can tell).

So, my question is, what features does the 4pk have that the nomadio's don't? I don't particularly care about fit and finish, as long as its comfortable, and the nomadio's are comfortable in the hand.

Never owned a Nomadio. Never cared for the them when using them really. With their track record for burning up RX's was always something that kept me away.

All in all, I don't know. All I can say is that I have never heard anyone want to get out of a 4PK, can't say the same for the Nomadio.

Umm, what track record for burnign rx's? I have dropped mine in water (like fully submersed). They cut-out, but as soon as they dry off, they run again. You can run 12v through them... Most people get out of nomadio b/c of availbailty, but I have a ton of rx's, so that is not a problem. It seems the answer I am getting is "we are futaba fanboys".

If someone could actaully tell me what the difference is, it would be appreciated. I am not trying to start a debate, i genuinely want to know the differences. I am not going to switch jsut cuz some poeple say they like the futaba better just becasue it doesn't have the nomadio badge. In fact, i am not going to swithc anywas, I just wanted to know. I like my nomadio, it has all the features i want/need and have never had teh equipment fial on me, or even ever gltich. I jsut wanted to know the differences. I like to keep updated with present techonologies.

I can honestly say buying the 4pk was one of the most thought out decisions I have made in my r/c hobby, and has been one of the best.

I absolutely love my 4pk

Thanks for the link. I have a 603FS RX

I finally able to use the mix function in the last comp I participated and it moved my skill level instantly. This feature is priceless in a dual ESC configuration. What else I am missing if I dont upgrade to 4PK?

Basically you are missing rear dig on the trigger and mixing percentage on both front and rear esc. Believe it or not I find it helpful to turn the front down on some technical climbs My 3pk is for sale if anyone is interested
BTW that rig of yours is awesome!!

Thanks a lot in many ways.
I was watching you drive and inspired to use the mix function for the first time. The 1st course is kind of familiarization and the next two courses I finished (my first time after 3 comps) with minus scores. I am sold with 4PK, its a matter of time my 3PKS will be for sale too.
See you in the next comp.
