First off let me say I'm really like my 4pl. Picked it and another esc up at a lhs yesterday evening, got home soldered like a mad man and removed the punk and installed dual esc and new rx and programmed by midnight for todays comp Radio does everything I could hope for and more and is pretty user friendly. Now I have a question, can the rear esc proportion percentage be displayed on the main screen? Had a tad bit of confussion with that while running courses and couldn't get the rear back in time as quick as I would have liked... any input would help. Thanks |

Menu/advance/dual esc/rate, From there you can also see a graphic depicting front dig/rear dig/ 4wd as an added bonus. | |

Futaba dosen't have a "Flavor of the month" mentality to releasing new hardware. Once a radio is out, they tend to support it for quite a few years. Then again, with care, your radio should last a lot of years. I still use Futaba magnum Juniors from the early 1980's. |

| There isn't really a "time frame" they keep a radio before releasing a new model. It could be a year it could 5 years or more.

I would like to know if I can use the 4PL for my RC4WD Bruiser 3 speed. http://store.rc4wd.com/Bruiser-3-Spe...-Kit_p_48.html A 4 channel radio is required for this chassis, but I'm not sure how the channels on the 4PL are distributed. The main question for me is: will I be able to swift gears with this radio? The gearbox (3 stands) will be operated by an extra servo. Thanks ! |

Hi Harley I'm having to run my rear motors @ 110% vs. 90% before. Same ESC's, same motors (recently cut com's) so I'm thinking maybe I hit something on my remote that changed a setting. I followed your video setup (thanks BTW) and your diagram for wiring. Any thoughts on if there's something in the remote I could change to fix the rear stall. Thanks! |

Did you recalibrate your ESC? you should have been running at 100% before. The mixing percentage is all the radio does. Anything else is due to your setup.
