I'm using the @.4 GHz 3PM for a XXX-4, as well as a few on-roaders. Probably not much help for the T4, but I currently have the throttle set at -45% and seems like a sweet spot on our dusty track. I'm running a 10x2 motor and GTB with it. Still need to adjust the steering exponential. Increased it to 10% so far.
If you plan on running analogue and digital servos with it, just make sure that you set HRS or PPM in the model memory before you turn the car on. Analogue servos act really funny if you forget! Not dangerous though.
If you change from a model memory using HRS to one with PPM (or vice versa), you will need to turn the transmitter off, then back on for the change to take effect.
My 3PM has been great so far. Probably the greatest model memory (10) for the price.

New pack
2.4ghz 3pm is fine for offroad, you just need the rx pack that will last long enough, as an rc pilot you should know this, digital servos also draw more juice.
the other thing is i see companies like jr listing as "surface radios" and such, but this doesn't matter, heck isn't andy moore using an airplane 2-stick radio in his touring car?

, charging ( at 1A) between hits and the problem still the same, red led blink
and turn greens few minutes after, bye race
. This rádio is not able to OFF ROAD. Use it in ON ROAD EP only.

I used to have a Lynx 3D and it gave suggestions for set up in the manual for different kinds of racing. I didn't find anything in the new Futaba manual on suggested set ups.
What are you running for steering speed and steering exp? I will be using the 3PM in a T4.
What has been your experience so far with the radio?

servo speed cannot be increased only decreased cause the servo decides how fast its maximum is. The settings should be what feels best for you. there is no real right or wrong within reasonable limits.
