I'm still playing around with my 4pl settings too. I've been using the 4pl for my nitro buggy and scte for quite some time but for my honcho I set a negative exponential on the throttle and reverse and it really helped with the low speed throttle control. Also program your winch to the 3 position switch!

1-Welcome to the site.
2-An Internet search will likely yield manuals
3-Why not post a Futaba 4PL question in the "4PL" thread?.... Futaba 4PL Setup, Tips, Tricks & Help
4-Spell check is a great thing.....just saying.

What battery are you using? NiCD, NiMH, LiPO?
What battery voltage?
What rig is this in? (single motor, dual motor/MoA)?
Are you "running for fun", trail runs, comps?

No need to get insulted due to lack if replies. There is a dedicated topic to your radio that Charlie-III conveniently linked, did you check there?

My tapatalk is being uncooperative and won't load the last page of that topic so I don't know if you did or didn't.

I did not see anything (quick look) that indicates what protocol the AR3 RX uses.
Based on this thread... AXIAL AX-3 transmitter & AR-3 receiver miscommunication? it would appear the answer to your question is NO, it will not bind. The GT3B/GT3C is different than a Futaba (yes, they're all 2.4ghz.....still a different protocol).

In my house, we have Futaba 2.4ghz radios that use FHSS or FASST. One is a 4PL (my sons radio).
