4PL front/rear dig work-around if you don't have the update I *hated* the scrolling dig through the push button on the grip. This works pretty well for now, but I will be getting my radio updated as soon as it's available in Japan. IN fact in some ways I think I'll like it better because you simply cannot screw it up...the front and rear dig are controlled by different switches and they are either on or off. R/ Dustin | |

picture attached. serial starts with B101***** Even though I got it to work with the push button... it sets the drive in either the front, back or both, I cant get it to lock the wheels. Not sure if I should be looking at the controller or ESC for the settings. Regards, Ado Last edited by Ado; 03-14-2011 at 03:00 AM. |

Harley, I sent in my radio to hobby services on tuesday of last week. I have not received a phone call or an email saying that they received it or anything. Do you know what is the normal procedure for them? I might give them a call today just to see if they got it alright and if they have any questions about the note I left. I shipped it Fedex Air which is 2 day. Someone did sign for it, but I haven't heard anything else. Thanks, Mike |

Wheels not locking is an ESC or motor issue. | |

My hobbyshop's 4PLs are now all B012. Can I assume that these are all updated? These stocks are from Hong Kong. I'd hate to end up buying one and have to mail it internationally to get it updated. Also, can anyone tell me if the FHSS system is good enough for offroad racing? I know that the FASST system is more responsive. Is it really that big of a difference that a novice racer would notice? |

Just wanted to say thanks for all the great info in this thread. I got my 4PL yesterday, and I was able to set it up without any problems. This radio is light years ahead of my dx3e. You did a great job getting the dual esc programing so user friendly. Thanks again |

A nice 4PL that is coming to me from HK has a serial starting with B1010. Anyone with the same batch? Do we have to update or not?
