You need to check the cans themselves. There should be a line on the can and a line on the endbell. They need to match up.
thay look like they are "slightly" off. do they need to be perfectly aligned?
Ideally yes.
He says they are set at zero timing.
I couldnt tell a difference at the comp yesterday and managed to get a win"thumbsup" I the more i use and play with this 4pk, the more i like it!

Well good enough then!!! Nice job on the win "thumbsup"
Harley, On the RC Mart site they list 2 types of 4 channel recievers for the 4PK. A R604FS and a R604FS-E, the E being for "electric cars only".Can you enlighten me on this,I can't find the "e" on the Futaba web site.
I'm looking to retire my Nomadio Sensor but don't want to go backwards, the only thing holding me back is the 4PK doesn't have readouts fron the receiver,IE RX voltage and motor temp.

I wasn't aware the E version was available yet. I have only got limited info on it to this point. I hear it uses only the internal antenna so there is nothing to have to route on the outside. I will get more info for you tomorrow.
Sorry, no help here.

Anyone have problems with the receiver overheating and going into failsafe? Want to get the 4PK but the horror stories are making me hesitant..

I didn't know there were horror stories?
I have 3 receivers, they all have been fine.
One of my favorite r/c purchases ever.

Yep it's well documented at the 4PK thread at rctech. Just want to be sure before I pull the trigger. Thanks for the input guys.

The overheating issue is very well documented, even some tests showing how they thermal. Never really heard of an issue in an electric, it is the nitro, especially 8th scale, where the problems seem to be.
Where are these tests that you speak of?
Yup thats the only time there were ever any problems. Most just drill a bunch of holes in the radio box to get fresh air in there and all the problems went away. I think the temps were upwards of 150 before going into failsafe.
So we are talking 8th scale here? How long was everything running before failsafe was entered? Any specifics on the vehicle (heat sources near the Rx box)? Ambient conditions?
