4PK Setups, Tips, Tricks and Help

btw cause I'm to lazy to look

is there a way to make the 3rd or 4th channel a three position monitory switch?

As in hold=on release=off, and opposite for the other way

This thing seems like it'll do anything I want it to do and I'm almost sold just one question. Say I'm on the way home from a comp after standing in the sun all day, I'm tired, feeling lazy and the garage opener is in the glove box but the 4pk is laying on the passenger seat in arms reach. Can I program it to open my garage door? That would be Awesome!

On a serious note and I'm sure it's been covered but what is the major difference between the 2 4pk's?

In no way am I joking in saying that I could rig it to open your garage :mrgreen:

I will have to ask if I can post the exact differences I will say that the case is a little different because they changed out the little D-pad type control deal, some people had a hard time with it.

One thing I am not sure on is if the new radio will ship with the new smaller RX's or not. I am trying to get all these answers as quickly as possible, Futaba Japan is just kind of hard to get answers from I guess.

The new 4PKS will come with the new smaller receiver. ETA for the 4PKS is some time in Sept.

Hey thanks for telling me....... I haven't been bugging you about it for weeks or anything :mrgreen:

ETA on the smaller receivers?

Harley, this is my wiring diagram, can you tell me if it is ok?

 

[Harley]

I can't see your pic, too small. Use this one. I am out of town all weekend at the VP comp in Colorado.

Ok, cool...thanks!

Here is what I came up with...still wanting to know if I need both power wires from the esc's going to the rx?

 

[Harley]

ETA on the smaller receivers?

I would expect same as the radio.

 

[guidetti_angelo]

because i have 2 battery, one linked to esc with one motor, other battery linked to bec and to other esc splitting red and black wire from battery..and both red esc wire that go to receiver cutted..
do you understand, a diagrame would be better ehehe

I do not recommend two batteries. I suggest running the setup as I show. I will not be available to do a diagram anytime soon.

 

[guidetti_angelo]

why did you reccommend me one battery instead of 2 battery?
one battery is better to operate current, to operate escs?

 

[guidetti_angelo]

now i have 2x tp 850 3s 45c, can i use them or with only battery i have to move to higher amperage such 1300 mhp or higher?

Those batteries will be fine.

 

[guidetti_angelo]

ok Harley, this evening my friend and i weld the electronic as you you suggest me by the diagram with only battery and then i start to set up my 4pk..
thanks again

In my 4PK I programmed CH4 using Dial switch DT2 set to 100/NOR and works as 3-position switch. Press once the lower DT2 button and CH4 goes + and Press the opposite DT2 button once and ch4 goes back to 0 press the same button second time and CH4 goes to -. This is a 3-position switch but not momentary type.

Looks like I can use this channel in any of these:
1. Optional servo to perform forced suspension articulation,
2. Optional servo to do rear cutting brake, or
3. Front and rear electronic ESC kill switch to easily do front and rear dig while retaining my mix function. I am not sure if this will get faster dig switchover using one switch.

Good morning Harley, i set my radio 4pk as you show on this post and i use 2x tekin fxr and 2x hh35, hyperion switching bec.., jr ds 6301
yesterday i tested for firt time my berg and i noticed that sometimes front and rear don't go with the same speed, sometimes when i go reverse rear end don't turn and after 1 sec he start turning and sometimes also front end has this problem, i check connexion between pinion and gear for front and rear and they are ok but i noticed that one pole of capacitor of front esc is not linked, i have to solder again, can it do some problem, capacitor is a accumulator of current?
thanks in advance.

Getting a Berg perfectly setup is some what of an art.

• Check to make sure that you do not have a reverse delay programmed in your ESC's. This sounds like it could cause your "1 second" delay.
• You need to make sure that your gear mesh front and rear are set well. If there is any binding in either axle it can amplify the stall effect.
• You also need to make sure that all of your electronics are soldered well. Bad connections do not flow current as well and will again cause stall.
• Program the throttle position on both ESC's at the same time as well.
• Make sure the timing on both motors is set to zero (mark on end bell and can aligned).

The wheels will most likely move at slightly different speeds if you have the car off the ground but this won't be noticable when driving as long as everything else is set as described. Everything else is going to be in the setup of the car not in the programming of the radio. I would suggest reading on the topic in the berg section for further info. Anything else in regards to the radio just ask here "thumbsup"
