I have only played around with a pre release version, so I'm not up to speed with one yet. I should have one in a few days. :nod:

As Dgrode said. Go to another model and do a fresh setup. Just in case there is a setting you had adjusted by mistake and forgotten about.

After that, try a different servo if you can.


It sound like you have the 70/30 mix on your steering. (which you can't do)

Just starting my set up. Noticed I have way more steering to left then to right. I centered servo any ideas ?? Thx

This may seem like a dumb question but you are getting more steering throw as measured on a setup station correct? You aren't judging this because your car steers more one way than the other while driving?

The radio worked fine with the 614fs when I was by myself, but as soon as I was around 10-20 other drivers it would glitch like crazy. I really couldn't even drive the car at all. It was so bad that I don't even know if "glitch" is the right word to describe what was going on. I've never seen a radio do that.

I don't mess with SD cards much at all, what all do I need to perform the update? So far I've downloaded the files from Futaba's site. Is there like a USB to SD card reader thing that I need to buy from Staples or something?

Thank you,
Kyle

Its not hard to do the update.
I borrowed someones phone that had a mini sd card in it.
Put the file on there and inserted the card in the radio and held the end button and powered the unit on.
That Simple

A mate in my club has exactly the same issues. He has slow response/delayed action, making the car undriveable.

Radio has been sent back to futaba and he was told nothing was wrong with it

TonyWest 11-25-2014 12:44 PM

Yeah they are hoping the update will fix the issue

Very strange, mine has been perfect in a full field of racers with both t-fhss and FASST recv

Hopefully the update fixes you up!

+1

Last race day, I was using 3 different receivers, all no issues. 614FS, 614FF-E, and R204GF-E

What do you see the servo channel do in servo view?

The plot thickens... If the Servo View screen shows 100% each direction, one would think the potentiometer is reading the correct values. If this is correct, it's as if the "software/programming" is sending incorrect data sort of like Mixing is being considered before the TX is sending the signal to the RX.

Did you by chance attempt to connect the servo to the 4PX for programming? If it is digital, maybe it has been inadvertently configured to "scale back" the throw in one direction which could potentially make the commanded throw of 100% appear like less sort of like Dual Rate (D/R) if that makes sense. It sounds like you are on top of the programming/setup so this is likely not the issue.
