4PK Setups, Tips, Tricks and Help

Glad it helped. If you need any help with programming just let me know "thumbsup"
Harley when you mentioned about your wireing diagram that the positive wires on the esc's should be hooked back up did you mean on both esc's? On my scaler i run one esc for the winch and one for the driveline and i just have them both plugged into my nomadio transiever in channels 2 and 3. Will the futaba handle this setup or should one have the positive disconnected? or am i just lucky not to have blown the nomadio, lol.
If you do NOT have a BEC plugged into the RX then I believe you are fine with both plugged in. Right now I have the power wires on both of my FXR's going to the RX. I don't believe you will have a problem.
As long as the two BECs ouput the same voltage, all is well. You could test them with a voltmeter to see how close they were, positive on red or orange an negative on black or brown.
Thanks for the info John, good to know.
Aye thats good to know. Both ESC's are the same voltage. Dual Quark ProCar 33's on OG Revolvers in an MOA setup. One is glitching bad though so i might plug the BEC into the RX and shunt both hot leads from the ESC's and see if that cures it.
Back on topic: One thing i liked about the Nomadio is being able to program everything on the desktop and upload it to the radio, i dont think the 4PK does this but has anyone heard if they have plans to do it? Or something similar?

I would like that feature as well. The 4PK has the comm port to program ESC's so you would think that it could be "back hacked" or something.
The programing is pretty easy on the 4PK but it would be nice to be able to shoot someone a file and say just load it up and you will be good to go.
Im a little supprized no one has put an SD card slot or USB port on a radio yet either. You could just put it on a thumb drive and mail it off or save your settings if you had to mail your radio off for repairs etc.
$430 is still the best price i have found for a 4PK but that was ebay. Any one know which vendor is running the best price atm? I starting to lose my willpower. LOL.
Hate to suggest a non-vendor but Ultimatehobbies has them for $430 with free shipping.

I sat down the other day and set up my radio as best i can w/o esc's, and wow i love this radio more and more i tweaked and tuned the setups here and have it so i can crab, regular steering and adjust the rear steering w/o front input all w/o mixing i love this thing. Cond 2 rocks!!!!!"thumbsup"
Really want to play with the ESC programing I need my damn ESC'S!!!
8) Thanks again you guys this thread is awesome"thumbsup"
We probably won't see the ability to plug up a USB drive. That would require the ability to host usb, which few smart phones are capable of doing yet.
Yeah, my calculator even has an SD card slot now "thumbsup"
My LHS has them for $425. When I bought mine I did not even bother checking their price because I thought it would be outrageously high. Check your LHS, you may be surprised.
Well I got a few bugs worked out on my 2.2 Axial comp rig.
Winch down suspension is finished. I will post the how-to soon "thumbsup" O yeah, still have that extra channel left for dig as well. Loving the 4PK!
I used the winch down setup at the last comp with excellent results. The break-over of 3.25" is great, and the ability to sidehilll with confidence at 2" of ground clearance is very nice.
I have to thank Harley for his write-ups, with everything he has posted I have an excellent starting point to modify the setups I want to my needs. Thanks man "thumbsup"

Hey Harley, any idea if you can get similar results with a 3PK? The 3PK is more affordable for me, plus I can use a Spektrum module so I could use it on my other trucks. I'd have to spend some of my tax refund money for the 4PK, which I was planning on saving. (bad economy ya know)
I will go do the video right now on a good setup that could be used with a 3PK. It is the setup that One-eyed Jack suggested and that he runs on his 3PK. I don't want to take credit for his setup but I will show you all what it looks like. Give me a little time and I will get it done "thumbsup"
