204 receivers work, but the fastest frame rate comes with the 304. Also, the 304 has the ID code in the receiver so the car can't be run with the wrong model selected in the radio. Like spektrum has been doing all along. With the 204 if you turn on 2 cars with the 204 Rx the radio will run them both at the same time. With 304 receivers only the selected model runs.

Do you guys just charge these LiFe batteries outside your transmitters then?
I just find plugging in my radio when the battery is low is more convenient.
considering that my 4PKS-R can run 9hrs+ on the factory Nimh.

the LiFe batteries have to be unplugged from the radio to charge it...

YES! charge outside of radio
no way I want my $500 radio to catch fire when my batteries have an issue....I have seen nicd, nimh and lipo fires
I only charge it at home between races, never had to charge at the track

I must be lucky.I also modded the charger plug so that I can plug it into the radio -or- plug my spare TX NiMH to it outside the radio and charge. (not charge at the same time, BTW).

Very lucky indeed,
The radios lack the smarts to charge the LiFe batteries and they will over charge them causing potential for disaster.

The distributor plugged power into the RX and it was already connected to the radio. He didn't have to go through the binding process. I may not have explained it properly in my previous post.
I also don't understand why you can't reverse the channels in the radio, as I thought this function was available to help with a reversed motor. However, the distributor told me that it could have caused issues with this setup and my ESC.

You can't do that! If you use the servo reverse feature for channel 2, what you're doing is changing what the throttle does when you pull the trigger. In other words, if you pull the trigger and the brakes are applied, and pushing the trigger makes the car accelerate, then reversing ch.2 in the radio will fix that. It will not change the direction the motor is spinning.

Did you buy yours new or used? If new, was the box sealed?

Easier to use Eneloops as backup.
