Yah, they make it feel much better IMO. SS is for tiny hands, S trigger is most common/normal sized hands and the stocker is for big hands IMO.

No issues with mine, was purchased just after release basically. Great transmitter. I asked a few pages back about cleaning them but mine seem's fine, for some reason I guess I'm exspecting it to need the pots cleaned at some point LOL.

I dont have tiny hands... But i did order the Powerstar Short version. Hopefully it does the trick... The radio included an optional plastic trigger i installed it seemed a bit smaller but not much,

I like to have the brake leaver close...

The Futaba alum trigger that comes with the 4pxr is smaller then either of the ones in the 4px. Not sure if it's avail separately but it's very nice.

Anyone else have the Futaba case actually scratch their radio? Just got mine from Tower today. Was really exited and slid my radio in. It peeled back the protective film from the top of the radio and screen and put very small scratches on both. Needless to say, I'm not very happy.

Is there any feedback on this 'Racing Mode' that was added with firmware 1.3? I can't find much about it. Trying to decide if it's worth updating

Racing Mode:
The Racing Mode, which improves driving feeling, has been added.

Are you talking about hairline scratches or deep gouge? The soft cell foam they use for the padding will scratch soft plastic easily. Its unavoidable if you dont protect the radio and screen with screen protectors

Hi ,, does anyone know when the 4pxr is comming out in the USA ??? Tower hobbies shows early April what does that mean date wise ,,, does anyone have this radio and if so, how is the chrome , does it scratch easy? I'm thinking about buying this radio and running off road , I'm wondering if it's a good idea to get it over the 4px that is black. Sorry for the stupid questions

Anyone tried the Futaba R2106GF 6-Channel S-FHSS Micro Receiver ($29.99). I'm going to try one of these for around the yard and driveway. Tech specs on the big 'compatibility chart' show it will work.

Don't have my 4PXR yet; preordered from Tower over a month ago...hope to see it in the next week or so. I'll post if it comes loaded with V1.3. It is supposed to come with the LiFe battery, charger, carrying handle and screen protector and metal finger/brake.

Since 4PXR won't work with a single one of my (and my son's) 25 RC surface models (most with Futaba receivers), I'm also replacing the wonky steering pot in my 3PK (with FASST and FM modules), which I am forced to continue to use. I'll post a thread on that when the pots arrive through e-bay (Futaba won't sell the pots).

23 of 25 surface models with Futaba recievers. None of which will work with 4PXR...thanks Futaba!!

BTW the reason I ordered the 4PX is to control the 3 carpet racers on the list, but it would be fun to use it for all those (it is supposed to have 40 model memory).

Frysky receiver
 

Anyone running these receivers? Wondering the difference in speed vs the fasst 614ff/Fe which I currently have

It works. I use those in my crawlers.

I loaded the update. It went it without a glitch. Extract the zip file and copy the futaba folder to the root directory of the micro SD, then power on holding the END button and it does it thing.

The new function is the "race mode" in the response setting which you turn on.
After testing it does feel a bit more connected or quicker than before. I tried it with the race mode on and off. But I can't really say how much quicker, it just feels a tad bit quicker. But that also depends on how fast your servo is I guess. I did the test on the touring car, as off-road it is harder to feel if it is connected due to the surface and bumps. I was running S6070 low profile servo in my touring car. Its only rated at 0.1s/60 travel. But I think you might feel a bigger difference if the servo was quicker. I am going to get a faster HV servo to try.

Ok, so if I'm running .11 servos, I probably won't notice a difference, but if I had .06 in there I would?

Wondering if it's worth it. I usually run Savox 1268 HV servos. Much faster than this and my car feels twitchy

You will notice a bit of a difference. But a faster servo will be more noticeable I think. Nothing wrong with upgrading the firmware. You can always lower the response if you find it twitchy. Or turn race mode off.

Very true...Very true.... I'll give it a shot.

Thanks
