4ch radio for crawler w/dig and rear steer

[Garry]

I am looking for a 4ch pistol grip radio. I want to run the dig and the rear steer. Will the 4PKS do all this of is there some thing better?

There really isn't anything better than the 4pks for the crawler market right now. There are however cheaper radios that will do it, but not all with the same functionality.

Depending on what you want, the 4PL is also a good choice, and if you don't mind the lack of EPA's, the RC4wd radio is a bargain.

I have learned in this hobby (the hard way) to buy the best the fist time. I know it is alot $500, but I just want it to work good. So I am glad to here it is the best right now. Thanks

I run my dual ESC, front and rear steer super using my Nomadio React. It is significantly cheaper than the Futaba radios (I paid ~$125 used) and is programmed on a computer or the user screen on the Tx. It can also work with some of the Spektrum receivers. However, it has it's drawbacks....the company no longer supports this radio and it's ugly as sin. It works well for all of my crawlers.....Super, dual ESC 2.2, 1.9 comp...

I had one for a while. It's a very nice radio, and the fact that it's compatable with the Spektrum RX's was a definate plus. My problem was that I couldn't find any Nomadio 4 channel RX's to run with it.

One other option if you want to save a few bucks is to look around for the original 4PK. For a crawler, the 4PKS doesn't have a really significant advantage when if you look hard, you can find a new 4PK in the $360 range.

Oh really? I've had no problem finding them. Amain has been selling them for quite some time:

Wow. That would have been handy to know before I spent all that cash on my 4pk.

if this radio works with some of the spektrum receivers.

will the react receivers work with the spektrum dsm system.

i have an m11 with spektrum dsm module and need a 4 channell receiver
for my super.

i know that i could buy the fhss system but thats a little more cash
than i can do right now

any other thoughts

I dont know, but I doubt it. The React has the ability to change to different frequency types (Digital Spread Spectrum being one) when the user wants.
