calling all FUTABA 3PK users.....

Does anyone know if the Futaba 3pks with the fast system installed will work with the regular novak gtb or do I need to switch to the gtb with spread spectrum.

Thanks Kuzo, I emailed Novak and Charlie said the same thing.

Is there a way to adjust the trigger tension on the 3pk? I looked through the manual but may have overlooked a way to do it!
#755
No - only steering wheel tension. I know some people on here have said they find the trigger tension too firm. Personally, I really like it and find the Helios and especially the new DX3R too light.
The new 4PK will have the option of trigger tension adjustment.

Are you having issues with it too light or heavy? I feel that the 3PK has one of the smoothest triggers around. The only think I really adjusted on mine is the overtravel on the brake and had to tweak the trigger to fit me. The gap was too big for my small fingers.....

And yea, I need to find some kind of a cover for the stock antenna hole.

Its easy to adjust the throttle tension on the 3pk. There are like 5 or 6 screws on the back you have to remove, then remove the rubber grip--under the grip there is another screw. Crack the 3pk open and there will be another screw which (I think) lets you remove part of the screen surrounding plastic. Once its open you just remove the 3 screws that hold the trigger assembly and you will see a 2mm socket screw which is attaced to the throttle tension spring. They are usually set pretty stiff from the factory, I backed out the screw until the spring is at its lowest tension setting. Much better now--feels like an M11.
One clue that this adjustment exists is that in the manual it says something like "you can adjust the steering wheel tension from the outside of the unit"
Why would they say that? It would seem to me if they state something like that then there is ANOTHER adjustment which requires adjustment from the INSIDE of the unit. And there is!! Its not some hacker mod either--its an actual adjustment screw Futaba installed so throttle tension could be adjusted.
Also, there is no need to dremel either the Spektrum module or the actual 3pk to fit the Spektrum module in with the stock cover on. The best thing to do is take a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the little plastic tabs. This way when you jimmy it in the tabs will flex instead of cracking--that plastic is really stiff and cheap feeling.

Are you sure? The only outside adjustments I know of are for steering wheel tension and the one at the end of the radio that lets you reduce the manual brake throw on the trigger (but that doesn't change the trigger tension).
