You could try adding Subtrim but in general it sounds like you just need to get a better ESC. | |

On another note, any idea why the R2106GF receiver isn't on Futaba's site? It looks like a great crawler rx, but I just found it odd it wouldn't be in their website. Regardless, I'm ordering one! | |

I have a question. I am going to Grand Bend Ontario this weekend with some of my rc's. I am running a 4pl, i am going to be running an hpi vorza with paddles for the beach. My friend who is meeting us up there is running a baja 5b and a 4pk. We thought it would be fun to go to the 1/4 mile drag dtrip and see if they will let us run. So the question is will we be able to control the trucks all they way down the track or will we have to stand at the half way mark. |

The instructions with the R2106GF talk about light-duty indoor aircraft use. Should one read into that it's best to bypass the servo current instead of running it through the RX? | |

Yes, BEC (either internal or external) supplys voltage to the RX. Use the diagram I have provided. If you want to bypass the RX for the BEC that is an option as well. I have not had any issues with putting current through a RX yet. | |

I installed the four connectors in 1 thru 4 like your diagram, but now looking at the empty Batt channel, I'm unsure. What say you? | |

Ok, so I just ordered this* Futaba 2.4GHz S-FHSS 4PL 4-Channel Surface Radio FUTK1400. Comes with a rx thought the price was good right at 200. From every thing I have read here seems to be a good radio, didn't really care for the one that came with the wraith. Harley anything specific I should be aware of with this tx/rx.

| This is the 4PL thread, it is posted in the 4PK thread. There are several differences. Response time, d-pad and 4ws mixing are the biggest things. The 4PKS also comes with a 614 RX.
