One off issue as no one else has had any.

Futaba is not a small brand. They have a bit of an idea of what they're doing :)

No clue whether the 4PX has any issues, but as JayL said Futaba does have a history of denial with at least one issue (i.e. the original surface FASST recievers over heating). I wouldn't completely dismiss report(s) of issues just because Futaba is big company that has been around a long time...

Didn't they update the 603 after they discovered the over heating issue ?

Dang. Please enlighten us. I've been using the wrong coupon codes all this time.

Amain is $30 higher when you factor in the $40 coupon and ~$10 in Amain bucks you earn with the purchase. I did a bit of an impulse buy and order from Amain just now.

Sorry, I was mistaken, I had a credit that was being applied of $30 that I had forgot about. It was $464 without the extra $30 taken off...:weird:

Right now tower is running a special for club members . $540 for the radio - $80 coupon code plus $36 in e-cash. That gets th radio down to $424 . Pretty cheap . I'm still torn between the 4px and m12 .

I got a question for everyone. I have two LRP flow esc's that the buttons are stuck on and I cant recalibate them. They work perfectly fine and LRP want $137 a piece to repair/replace them so its basically pointless to get them repaired.

I have a 4pl now and my son has a 3pl and I can bind either of these radios to the bad button esc's and the end point calibration is correct for both radios.
I would like to get the 4PX but I don't want to have to replace two ESC's at the same time. So is the calibration end points coming from the receiver or the radio? Do you think if I just leave the current recievers in the cars the endpoints will be the same between the 4pl and 4PX? This would buy me some time on getting new esc's.

Arg. Ordered from Amain for ~$500 after coupon and amain cash just a couple days ago. I knew an impulse buy was a bad decision...

I see the radio as $549.99 ($550), and am only seeing a $75 coupon for me. :-/ Where is the e-cash part? So, I see it as $440 if I can find the e-cash. Still a good deal, but not $424.

Not bad, use your e-cash to buy a R204GF-E receiver for your 4PX.

Most of the discounts and coupon codes are tied to your account and based off how much you spend per year. My codes may not work for other club members.


Anyone have any insight to my calibration question? I would like to get this radio while its in stock and cheap but I don't want to spend another $400 on replacing working esc's.
