Those with the Japanese version 4PX, have any of you updated the firmware?

I'm pretty sure that the 4px does not support the 604fs receiver

It does. I'm using two R604FS receivers with my 4PX. Works perfectly.

R604FS is C2 so yes on that model RX.
R603FS is C1 so no on that model RX.

Have you tested with the RX that came with the 4PX? Does it function any differently?

Please keep us posted.

I used mine for the first time. It worked fine for 3 battery packs. I pulled into pitlane and pulled up behind another driver, he was using a 4PK. No steering, just throttle. Interesting. My first thought was that my servo horn had fallen off. No, it was still attached. Back to the pit bench. I played with it, turning the power off/on, both on ESC and the control and checked the wiring. Still nothing. I looked up and noticed that Jarrod was about to turn off his 4PK. I looked back down at mine and it was working again. Coincidence!!! I had 3 other glitches and two of them in the identical spot on the track.

Note: I didn't have the antenna turned around. I keep forget to do this.

equipment being used.

try a R304SB-E receiver if you can, see if you can replicate the problem with the same guy that had the 4PK

I don't have an R304SB-E receiver.

I'll drop the R304SB in for testing tonight or if I have time I'll drop over to the warehouse and collect one.

Default Update issue.

My and my mate are trying to update our radios. On the 4px update it says press and hold end button and turn on.
Neither of our radios no matter what we press goes into the update menu.
Please help.
