thanks for the reply, Yes I read the manual, I saw that it does, but I was not sure if the 4PX will do the S9373. Can you just connect it directly or do you need to connect it with a hub and in parallel with a 6.6Life battery?

As the manual states you will not have all options through the transmitter but it seems to me that all basic options are available with all servo's

If a battery is needed I do not think so, just give it a try.

I removed the steering wheel down as far as i could down to the steering pot.. hit with compressed air can, electronics cleaner and compressed air to make 100% it was clear and dry.
Been working perfectly since that..

Default Button issue

Not sure how to fix this. Every time I turn on radio the aux 3 goes all the way to -100 and sounds alarm. I diagnosed that the Dt3 button by the wheel is the issue. The button will only move one direction, I can get it to go back to zero by pushing the button and alarm stops, but every time radio is turned off then on it does it. I took wheel off, but can’t figure out how to take the wheel unit apart to get to the buttons. So I guess my question is there a way to get inside of the wheel unit without breaking it to see if something is wrong with the button?

Also is there anywhere to get the outside plastic screen? Futaba said that they don’t sell it and has to be sent in for repair for $35 plus shipping of course. Really scratched up from previous owner.

Anyone know where I could find an Imbue carbon drop down brace for a 4PX?

Bumping it up, replaced my receiver pack with a Trinity Graphene 7.4V and now all of a sudden the Servos are twitching like crazy...

Running a R304SB receiver and 2 ea. S9532HV servos... never had this issue ever before when running a NiMh pack... everything should be good. Radio reads the receiver just fine, just now its acting weird. Looked through the specs and the Servos and Receiver should be good with 7.4V.

Any insights?

Did you change the battery type on the 4PX? If the Trinity is a LiFE battery type you must change the setting from NiMH to LiFE. Page 148 of the manual.

TOADYY, yeah i had done that, as well as played with the faiösafe settings, but the servos are still acting the same. I think I will switch back to a 6V Nimh and see what Futaba support (Japan) has to say.

Default Futaba 4PX Signal lost or freeze problem

Greetings to all of you, I've been using 4px since its first release, and I love it. But I have a big problem, 4PX completely froze in a race 2 separate times, the whole screen was on but none of the buttons were working and of course the vehicle was damaged. It repeated this again the following year. The only solution is to remove and reinsert the battery. This seems at least once a year It does this only in 1 track in our country, there is no problem any other buggy and in-door onroad tracks other than that, I race every 2 weeks continuously, only this track can cause problems

However today, in race wanted to cut off speed and enter the corner while driving at full throttle with my 1/10 nitro car on the same track, but for a moment loss of signal and caused my car to hit the pit wall at full throttle, costing me 300 €, Interestingly, there was no problem after the accident and all the servos were working. So I can't trust my 4PX anymore. It is not clear when it will do that again.

Likewise, one of my friend said that he had a signal loss in 1/10 EP Car class today too

Software Version is 1,4E

Any solution or ideas are well come
