it's my fake mod..

I pulled the antenna off my RX and just replaced the stock antenna location... the new Futaba 3PM looks similar.

the 3PKS system will probably look like my mod.

Has anyone tried the receiver from 3pm? The difference I could fins between the two is the DSC function.

i had the same problem in my 1/12 this weekend. So I turned it to ppm mode and the "glitching" went away. I am sending the rx off to futaba for them to check. I ran it 2 weekends in the same car in hrs mode without a problem. so not sure what is going on.

According to the Futaba directions you need 6 volts for HRS to work. I switched my 1/12 just to see and had all sorts of problems. On PPM it worked perfectly.

Use a receiver pack and you can go back to HRS in 12th scale or any 4cell car.

As soon as I switched mine to HRS the speed control bugged out. I didn't play with it after that, I didn't want to screw it up completely. I'll play with it some more, like resetting the ESC.
