Just got my radio back from Futaba.

The update is perfect!

They did exactly as I asked without compromise. The update is available immediately and I will have all the info up on how to get around noon today. All new production models will now include the update from the factory.

Models with the serial number starting with "B010" are the only models that need updating.

Great news! I was just about to pull the trigger last night, but checked back in here and decided to wait.

So now I need to figure out how to get the right serial number.

There will be no way to tell what serial number range you are getting or when the current models are sold from which distributor. Beat bet is to just pick one up and have it updated if you got one of the first batch.

So can we send them in right now to get updated or is there special directions to send it in for the update?

It is available immediately. All you need to do is send it in with a note to update to the newest 4PL software. The address is linked in the 4PK thread, I am posting from my phone but will add it in this thread tonight.

Steven,
I would go ahead and get one. They are re-printing the manual and are just starting production of the new radios. It could be a couple months before they arrive.
Get it and send it in and have it before Christmas

Hello,

can i have a momentary dig on one of these switches (photo below) in the way that pushing forward means front dig and pushing backwards means rear dig (2 ESC's) and have a switch for proportional dig on the other one (for example top switch for prop. dig lower switch for "standard" dig)?



...that is on my wish list for my "perfect" crawling radio. If the PL can do, it's mine.

Greetings Frank
