Futaba 4PL Setup, Tips, Tricks & Help

On the main screen just scroll up to the model number.
Select that and it will take you to the MODEL RX menu.
There you can reset, copy, and change models.

This can be found on page 38 of the manual.

Awesome, thanks for quick reply. Just couldn't figure it out at 3am this morning
 
I am in the same boat. I just got my 4pl and it's serial is B10302130. Based on the link I that first post, anything with b10 would need to be updated, but it's been well over 6 months, is there anyway to see a firmware rev. In the menu anywhere? Or could I call their support to find out when this transmitter was made?

Thanks!

The link on the first page shows radios that start with B01 not B10.

If you watch the video and it goes as I show it then the radio is updated.
 
Harley is there a really noticeable difference in recivers? Just wondering if it's worth swapping recivers. Thanks.
 
Are all currently shipping 4PL updated to latest firmware?
Local shop told me that they can order from their distributor.


(i am from Canada)

Ooops, one more thing...
Is there any label on the box itself that will tell this info ?

is there any special set up you have to do when you first turn it on? im getting nothing from my motor... might be esc as well but figured i would post here as well seeing they are both new.

You really haven't given me any info. Is the RX bound? What color is the LED? Do you have steering? Does the ESC have power? Did you turn the switch on the TX to the power on side (not display only)?
 
whoops my bad.... knew i forgot something. :oops: esc gets power, green led flashes, when hit throttle light goes solid red. steering works and lights come on.
 
brxl... I have a post going in the HH thread for that with JRH rite now seeing what if anything is wrong on that end. just figured i would check in here for the 4pl side of it
 
DANGIT!!!! You got me... Im an idiot!!! thats what happens when you get up at 4 for work!!! works great now!!! lol <--------:lmao:
 
Is it possible to make the 4pl show you how much mix you have engaged? Like on the 4pk when you mix there is a number that changes, is there a way to have something like that on the main screen because i dont like having to stop in a comp and pull the trigger while watching the graphs to see how much i have engaged, thanks Nick
