4PK Setups, Tips, Tricks and Help

Just thought I'd share with with ya.
I got my 3PK up and running with Dual ESC's this weekend, It works PERFECT! I set it up exactly as you had suggested and everything works just the same as the 4PK. I'm glad the 3PK was able to do this. I've had the radio for over a year and would hate to get rid of it!

Glad it all worked out for you Jesse "thumbsup" If you need anything else feel free to post up in here, almost everything on the 3PK applies in here as well.
 
Well my 4pk took a crap on me and froze up at the Goldendale Qualifier, whats the best way tp get it fixed asap? i PMed jdawg but haven't had a respnse yet though. i need it fixed asap for my local comps and before nationals. any help would be great.

From experience, Futaba USA has one of the Best Customer Service even from hundreds of miles away. Can always give them a quick call, and they'll let you know what to do next. They sure are very efficient. "thumbsup"
 
So what case is everyone using with their 4pk? Looked at the futaba one for $65 before shipping...any other budget friendly ones?

I decided not to skimp when it came to protecting my $500 radio. I couldn't find any hard sided cases that fit the radio so I bought the Futaba one. Fits like a glove and was money well spent "thumbsup"

I'm having a really hard time figuring out why I would go with the 603FF vs 603FS. As far as I can tell they are exactly the same size, just one has two antennae and they're both the same price. How do I decide which one to use?

Also - does Futaba make a smaller Rx? These are huge compared to the Spektrum R3100's that I'm replacing.

Thanks,
Mike

Usually one of them is about $10 cheaper. I have not had range problems with any of them yet so the cheaper version is usually my choice.

The new 4PKs is shipping with the new smaller RX. Production samples have arrived in the US so the full shipment should be here soon. The smaller RX's should be soon after.
 
Thank you guy's for making this radidio almost as easy as a dx3r, i love the adjustability and the feel, yet there could be a bit more ease in adjusting the throw's and having the fwd/rvrse settings a bit easier, i had set mine up just like you had shown and ran it in a comp without testing/tuning, yes i did horrible, but with some time i feel i can get "used" to it! Once again thanks

I have seen pics of the new receivers and it looks like all they did was take the "hump" out... Are the actual footprint dimensions smaller?

Are you sure you are seeing pictures of the new RX's then? I have done the mod where you just remove the hump on my own RX's but these look completely different. They are about 30% smaller and much thinner.

This is the image that I am speaking of, if it wrong I will remove this post. Just doesn't look much smaller... But I also can't see the side profile... Any specs possibly?
