What is everyone using to protect the radio in transport? Been searching for a case and can't find one. Thanks

Using my old 4PK case for now. Protek has their own aluminum case and you only have to buy the 4PX specific foam insert.

On another note, has anyone installed the Power Star 4PX trigger or know where to buy it? Its the one thing from making this radio absolutely perfect, I just don't have chubby fingers. :D

Yes the 4PK case is fine. I installed the smaller trigger and it feels good. Waiting on the smaller grips to come out.

If you find out, let me know, I want one too! :)

Any one know if the R204GF receivers will work with this radio?

Yes it is, full list of compatible rxs is on futaba-rc.com

Had my first hicup with 4px, had a brown out or something everything just stopped. Had to bring car in and rebind! Using the supplied receiver with radio, anyone else have this problem?

Big price difference. Is the HobbyKing battery a good quality?

The HobbyKing battery is a lot cheaper in price is it as good as the Hobbico Life. I would rather pay $15 than $40

Amain Protek LiFe battery works VERY well.
Why pay out nearly $600 on a Radio only to skimp on the battery?:confused:

WELL WORTH THE $$$$$$$

See^^^^^:nod:

$37.99 for the Protek LiFe Battery
Don't half ass your radio with penny pinching batteries...lol
You got the radio, the expensive part is done..
Protek/Amain has great customer service, and the 6.6V 2100mah LiFe battery is great.

Hobby King battery has been working fine for a lot of people. I've had both Protek batteries and Hobby King batteries, and I've had one of each die on me.

Dan 01-12-2015 09:56 AM

Protek batteries have been nothing really special for me, and yes I've had their batteries too for my cars.

For a TX battery, it matters even less.
