| Help choosing between radios
Hi, i am between the Futaba 4pks and the Airtronics mt4 i know tha Futaba does pretty much everything but i like the price tag of the MT-4 and also the telemetry. The rc cars that i have are HPI savage xl and Team Associated TC5 and im going to get the Axial Xr10 in near future as well. Thanks a lot guys!! |

You may also want to consider the Futaba 4PL |

If I were to get a new radio, it would be a dead even split between the 4PL and MT2. They are both priced the same and they have a lot of the same features. For crawling, I think I like the MT2 a little bit better, it has the thumb slider which makes two channel mixing for MOA super easy. With that said, I wish Spekrum would pull their heads out of their butts and come out with a good 4 channel radio that was priced in the same range as the 4PL and MT4. I have a handfull of Spektrum RXs and don't really feel like paying through the nose for new RXs. |

| +1, my son is running a 4PL (2.2 Bully MOA with 2 ESC's). Lots of Futaba support (pseudo factory support ) on this forum. Here.... Futaba 4PL Setup, Tips, Tricks & Help Keep in mind, a club member I comp with has smallish hands, he liked the fit of the MT4 better than the 4PL. Just something to consider.

for the price tag the mt-4 is equal to the 4pl. but if you want the telemetry that should answer the question for you. I love the mt-4, very easy to use and set up.
