Anyone having this issue or are yalls Rx's updating with no issue?

Hi Jon,

Mine updated (both tx and rx) without issue. How are you updating the rx? (ie. through tx or usb adaptor and pc)

is this the proper place to get the software updates?

https://www.futabarc.com/software-updates.html

Reason I ask is that the link for 7PX says it was updated in Nov 2017?

I have the T7XC with version 2.3e
Looking at the updates it seems it is only needed for more SBUS functions like remote programming of the 970 ESC and other SBUS devices. When using normal servo's it looks to me there is no need to upgrade.

not sure if this is common, but when going from the default 50 / 50 split (forward and brake) to 70 / 30 split, I notice the applicable channel on the main screen has it filled somein one direction. Is that common or is this something I need to change on the radio. Doesn't appear to affect anything.

I have read through this entire forum and have seen the question asked a couple of times about the ability to copy model data from my 4px to an SD card then load the model data onto my 7px but never did see a definitive answer. Can someone let me know if this is possible or if I will have to set up every one of my cars manually on the 7px? Thanks everyone.

this is my first futaba.. so i cant comment.. but when i switched radios on KO.. i always just setup new models.. to make sure there wasnt some issues with data, or some sort of non compatibility.

Anyone using the standard HT5F1800B NiMh battery pack?
As it is listed to fit my T7XC it does not fit....... I wonder if the 7PX has the same issue.

The battery is 84mm long but a small notch on one side gives only room up to 79mm, I had to cut away that small notch.
