I'm looking for a case that will fit my 4pks-r with drop down and angle adaptor "wedge". Any suggestions?
Update....
The futaba gold hard case "4pk" will accept the 4PKS-R with the drop down and wedge. My case has a removable center foam piece for the steering wheel

When I had mine I was using the Futaba hard case for 4PKS-R . It did fit with the drop down installed, not too sure with the angle adaptor though because i didn't have it.

Hey guys trying to set up my fail safe on my 4pksr with my 1/8 e buggy. I want my ESC to set to neutral and the steering to set to the right. I think Im good with the steering part of the set up, just need to verify how I set up the throttle ESC to neutral in case of fail safe kicking in. Would I set the Throttle channel to F/S and keep the throttle trigger at neutral and hold the + and - buttons until it sets? Thank you

4PKS-R and FrSky TFR4 Question
Question for the Futaba Guru's.
I recently picked up a 4PKS-R, it came with the standard R614FS rx which I installed in my 4wd, but I needed 2 more for receivers for my 2wd and ST.
So I bought 2x TFR4's the specs are below I have them configured in C1 Mode and High Speed as I have Digital Savox servos
http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...ompatible.html
So my issue is as per below:
I installed both TFR4's into the 2wd and ST
Setup Model 2 (M2) on my Tx for the 2wd and did the binding process (Turn on Rx hold button on Rx while turning on Tx Light then goes Green)
This worked fine then repeated the process for the ST which is set for Model 3 (M3) on the Tx
My issue is if I leave the 2wd and and ST both on (ESC on powering the Rx on) and change between Model 2 or 3, both Rx's connect to the the Tx irrelevant of which model is selected thus controlling 2 cars at once.
Now this would only be an issue if after a 2wd race i forget to turn the 2wd off and turn the ST on as both cars with connect and anything I do on the Tx will control both.
So question, is this a C1 Mode futaba issue of the TFR4 ?? is there a way to stop either Rx connecting to either Model memory?
Also I have rebound them used different memory's in the Tx turned the TX off and on etc.
This issues does not occur going between M1 (C2 Mode) and M2 and M3 it only occurs on the TFR4's which are C1 Mode.
In sanwa controller's they have something called a separate protection channel which stop exactly what I have occurring but cannot find anything in the Futaba manual that can do the same.
Really appreciate and feedback

4PKS-r Antenna part number
Does anyone know the part number for the transmitter antenna for our radio? I know it is different than the 4PK or the 4PKS. The antenna for the 4PKS-R is shorter. I have done a Google search, and have searched the Futaba site to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Pittster, the same thing would happen if you did that with 2 x C2 recievers, it's just how futaba is, its a bit strange but it does have some advantages, like being able to have 2 model slots set up for the same car to try out different radio settings or being able to share radio trays between nitro cars without rebinding.

Yeah, personally it's never caused me any issues, i just make sure to be a bit more careful choosing the model.

I know it's an old thread but I need some help. I have a 4pksr and when I turn down ATL below 70 the radio won't initialize. When I turn it down to about 40-50 it starts running forward slowly. It's obviously moving the neutral point but I don't know why. Any help is appreciated

I am needing a hard case but can't find one. Protek has empty cases but the 4pk insert is impossible to find.
RC mushroom has the Futaba 4PKR case but I'm a bit worried about ordering from them. I have heard too many horror stories.
If anyone knows where I can get a hard case please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
