Way to go Mars209. That's a team player right there

For reals though, thanks for letting us know on that part. For the sake you spent the money and I want it. I hope it is interchangeable.

I have been running the drop down on my 4pv since I got it Xmas, works great and also purchased the option hook to have it hanging from a lanyard

Is it ok to use rechargeable AA batteries in this radio? Seems like it sucks the juice out of non rechargeable ones fast.....

I use some Panasonic nihm aa rechargeable batteries I bought from Costco. Fully charged will get me about 5.8ish volts and usually last me a day and half of practice. LiFe battery soon when I get more funds... But I don't mind charging my aa before I got out.

OMG!!

Picked mine up Friday night, set it up a little then, Saturday morning did a full set up and read the manual, went to the track around 2pm MST races start at 6pm. I had a little bit of adjustment I had to make to my servo arm length so I was under 15 on steering subtrim, adjusted the Brake subtrim.

HOLY !@#$ this radio made my car faster (not sure how) and the responsiveness of the throttle and steering, I felt like I had SO MUCH more control of my car!!

Best radio I have ever used. All the Sanwa guys at the track were like ooh & ahh said it felt great in their hand.

I would say get this if you are contemplating getting it.

Really? I always hear Sanwa is the fastest. I've only owned one, the MT-4S 40th Anny. The rest were Futaba.

I've followed the manual and nothing. I turn on Rx and it's already blinking red.

I have had that on 2 receivers. The ones that gave me trouble ended up binding on the opposite mode. So They must have put a T-fhss board in an S-fhss case. Both are working perfectly in the cars and have been flawless ever since.

So put radio in s fhss mode? And when I give power to Rx it should automatically blink red? And is it suppose to change blink by pressing on for 2 secs?
