Default 4PLS vs 4PV vs 4PX

Hello all,

Trying to determine which is the best bang for your buck. Clearly the PX has the most options but I don’t think I would use all in TC racing.

Any thoughts on comparison?

4pls and 4PX, looking to functionality the 4PX does support FASST receivers but beside that the 4PLS has all the functions you need.

So far I can see the 4PV has less functionality compared with the 4PLS like no telemetry logging but still all the functionality to drive and setup a car.

I bought a 4PV yesterday. I held one at the track, felt good in my hand, looked good and was the right price. I am replacing a M11X. I hope this is a suitable replacement as the M11X was high end back when it came out.

Good to hear because I was leaning to the 4PLS new or a 4PX used.

Thank you for the feedback

Even a used 4PLS will be a great radio, I am on my third 4PLS. This way you can get used to the Futaba layout and setup, then perhaps go from there.

I'm pretty sure 4PV is meant to be a replacement of the 4PLS. It retains all of the functionality and adds a drop down conversion. 4PV ergonomics is more similar to 4PX while 4PLS is more similar to 4PKS, in terms of wheel feel and trigger feel. Overall 4PLS is a more refined system that uses the same receivers as 4PLS.

I been using the 4pls for awhile an have had great luck with it. I have 6 different models programmed and find it easy to swap model to model. Adjustments on the fly are easy and the backlight is a nice feature.
Plus used u can grab them pretty cheap just watch out the antenna’s seem to break easily

May want to check Futaba's website or A-main for feature's as some mis information may have been stated earlier.

Will the 4pv work with the R203GF and the R204GF-E receivers?
