I just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to one of your drivers. I went to a race and dropped my radio (stupid me placed it on the roof of my car and it fell off) not 10 min after arriving to the track. Well, radio didn't work. Someone approached me and asked what class I ran (Nitro truggy) he said come with me, he went to his truggy pulled out his rx and said you can use my radio (Lynx 4s). Crazy thing Is, I've never met him before. I knew who he was from Facebook and seeing him active. Anyway, bought a Lnyx 4s and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Porty (that's all I know him as) and thanks Hitec for having such good people and products.

Anyone had a centering issue with their radio?
At first I thought it was a stteering servo or binding issue. But after testing o 4 different kits I have the same issue throughout.
After applying full right turn on the radio and releaseing. The steering wheel will return to centre but the servos will not. Now if I flick it quickly to the left the wheel again will centre but now also will the servo.
Again tested on 4 different kits and all have the same issue turning right.

Your steering channel may need calibrating. You will need to go in to the System menu and then into the ST Adjust menu. Once in there, all you need to do is turn the wheel to full right, then full left, and then let the wheel rest at center. press the "OK" at the bottom right of the screen and it should solve the problem.
After recalibrating it would read -2. After I hit ok I would go back to main screen and try the steering again and get the same steering issue. When I go back to the ST Adjust fuction it reads -7 again.
Not surr if there is any firmware updates? Or if this means I have a bad steering pot?

Ok. Tried as suggested. When I first went into the ST adjust feature it read -7

What's a good battery upgrade for the radio? I had an issue with my battery last race, and don't want to deal with that again. I want a spare.

I use the venom 2400mah 2s rx pack, fits like a champ and will run two classes for 3 heats and a main without a hiccup. The stock nimh was just too small.

I cycle through two 2000mah LiPo's. Usually I aim to change batteries either at the start or finish of a day. When I miss doing that I swap out at 7.6 volts.
The only time I have ever gotten a battery warning was a full practice day at a new track with low numbers. I did 180-200 laps between 2 different cars and my TX didn't get turned off much. The 4s does seem to use more power than my last Futaba, but it is not excessive.

First off I really like the radio. I've had it for about 5 months and it's great.
I've got a couple of questions. I'm using the Axial 2 receivers.
1) Have you guys had to run a glitch buster with Spektrum servos? I've got a S6270 that I really like but it will glitch around neutral. It doesn't seem to do it with other servos but this one is very fast .07.
2) Coming from the MT4 it was 70/30 throttle mode and the Hitec is defaulted to 50/50. I know how to change it to 70/30 but my esc will not calibrate when I change it. I'm using the cheaper Trackstar esc from HobbyKing. I really like those esc's so this maybe something I have to live with until I upgrade. Just wondering if any of you have encountered this problem and if you have a fix for it.

Is the difference (delay) from the Axion2 and the Proton4 really this huge?
I like the idea of seeing telemetry data, but not at a super high delay cost.
Thank you!

It will be noticeable. It's not terrible but you'll notice.
Do you run on or off road? I find that the difference in response is much more noticeable on a carpet track vs an off road track. Offroad it's honestly negligible and will take you a couple of laps to get used to.
