Default Anybody tried a Futaba R6004FF 4-Channel Micro Receiver

Just looking for some feedback on this mirco. Thinking about using it with a Futaba 4PK.

Thanks

Edit- using the 614ff in my XR10. Works just like an RX should! Nice and tiny too.

Is this receiver able to be linked to a 3PM ?

I need a smaller receiver than the 603FF

John are you sure you aren't talking about the R614FF? The R6004 is not a compatible RX with the 4PK as seen here on Futaba's site: http://2.4gigahertz.com/receivers/index.html

So to answer your question, this RX is not able to be used with your 4PK. You can use the following RX's:

R603FS
R603FF
R604FS
R614FF <--New small RX.

Thanks

I ordered mine on line the other day for $389.99 with free shipping. I bet it is a order one with the R604FS. I bought this off of ebay.

What is a going price for the R614FF?

Thanks for the help!

Actually......The 4PKS comes with the 614(micro) and the regular 4PK still comes with the 604.

I have several friends that bought through eBay for this same deal. The only thing you should expect is that it will come with a euro wall charger. So you will either need to charge your RX pack through your regular charger or buy a new wall charger.

614's usually go for about $100.

Glad it all worked out. If you have questions post them in the 4PK thread if you want me to see them. I don't check new threads very often.
