Only took them how long to get it in?

...sorry you know how I feel about Futaba Australia :flaming:

Boz 12-02-2014 07:22 PM

I'm not feeling the love here.

It's ok Boz, being a sponsored driver you're sort of bound by what you can and can't say and where you can and can't purchase certain rc items I guess, so you got to tow the line :) Nothing against you at all :)

IKR? - Obviously, not all of us make it to each and every step Futaba throws our way. Don't forget the 3PL too...

As far as quality goes, the 3PJ and 3PK series are very decent, feature rich, and At least allowed the end-user to use the TX modules from various manufacturers which was pretty cool in my book.

Why does everything have to be about you (the buyer)? If this was the case we would all still be using 27,29,40mhz radio's, because you want to use your old receivers. I'm sure Futaba could develop a backward compatible receiver, then we would all complain at the cost and size of it.

Unfortunately, this is life. Thing are be developing at a very fast pace.

Not to mention trying to stop knock off receivers from working with their newer technology.

Yeah they got into Australia on Friday........way to long for them to arrive in Oz land.

Mine is at my LHS shop now..........;):tire:;)

Not really sure why they took so long whether it was the distributor or ...........

Yes, very good point.

If you dig back into this thread a bit, the 'reason' is stated

Agreed.

I like and support their full-featured products and have so since the 80s.

The product compatibility I was referring to was new Futaba 4PX to work with existing Futaba branded 2.4 FASST RXs.

As customers, we do have a voice and tend to make our buying decisions based on cost vs. value add.

I sold all my 603fs for $40 and then bought the new ones for $49.99. super deal to have the latest fastest tech for $9.99.
