The next batch coming into tower will be updated with the new MOA software. May want to wait a week.

Yes Tower Hobbies. Any of the new ones they send out will be updated I am told. So if you backorder one now or order when it says "In-Stock" then you will get an updated version.

RPP Hobby has them for $229.00 right now and free shipping for orders placed over $300, but out of stock of course. So I can assume they are in the same boat as Tower Hobbies is...

Tower is the distributor so they will have them first. RPP has to go through tower to get them.

Just spoke with Tower Hobbies and they will match prices, but has to be a in stock item on there website. The ETA is early March.

They were unaware of any software updates for MOA use... must find out from Futaba themselves.

Where did you here about the update Harley???

Try CKRC? I got mine from them. Also....if there is new software for the MOA, how does one upgrade the current software in one? Or are you just out of luck?

I found out because I was the one who got it done. A normal sales rep would probably have very little knowledge of the change.

All the info you will ever need can be found in my 4PL thread.

Read Harley's thread on the 4PL, there is information regarding getting yours updated.

Mine is on backordered thru Tower Hobbies, got mine for $214 shipped (using discount code on their site)

I don't recommend CKRC for anything.

Go check out my 4PL thread, instructions on how to get your early version updated are linked in the first post.

Why, when was the last time Tower supported this site?

RPP has the best service available and the fastest shipping hands down.

I don't dislike tower, but I always check with RPP first.

Tower = Duratrax and Futaba. They pay for the blue star of more than one member, support almost every national event, are one of the largest advertisers on this site, and are the ones responsible for me giving all the Futaba support. All in all, I would say they support the site as much if not more than any other vendor.

Harley, With the differences between the 4pl and 4pks... would I be wasting my money to pay more for the 4pks?

I only ever plan on using it for 2.2 Crawler... MOA two ESC setups. Can you help me out with my descision making?

Thanks,
Jake

P.S. Nice 4pl setup thread. Great help.

I can't tell you if the difference in feature is worth the cash to you but to me it is. I personally like the pushbutton dig better and the way the mixing percentage is displayed. However the cost is more and RX's are twice as much. It is largely in part to the fact that I have ran a 4PK since 2008 though. So it's hard for me to tell you how to spend your cash.
