The first thing I did after un-boxing my radio was to perform the firmware update and then I began binding to my RXs. I love my radio!

did you have any trouble binding the 604fs receiver? i cant get mine to binb with 4px

Did you set the receiver mode to FASST first on the 4PX ?

Also ensure the 4PX is close to the R604FS when you press the bind button,

Ensure the 4PX is switch on via the PWR button and not the DISP button

Hi all
Could somebody please tell me the step by step method for updating the software or where I can find this information please?
Using a 8gb card and just can't get it to work. I know I'm probably doing something wrong...
Cheers

Make sure your SD card is formatted in FAT32 format

ensure you unzip the firmware folder and place it in the root of the SD Card

power up the 4PX while holding down the END button and off it goes.


If you need help I can do it for you if you come to HH tomorrow.

Some folks stated they experienced issues with 32gb and above cards being recognized. I used a 16gb without issue.

His 8GB Card should be fine. However I suspect the speed of some cards is an issue as well.

I hope after spending $550 I don't run into some of the issues I'm reading about! My radio came today so I plan on messing with it tomorrow (:

rob martin 01-23-2015 04:04 PM

The Pelican Case 1450 looks like the real deal and would provide the best protection compared to the typical HSCs companies typically sell.

If I go the PC1450 route, I'll likely cut two templates and "Hot Wire" the foam out using the custom cut templates on top and bottom of the non- perforated foam as a guide for the hot wire.

Has anyone with the Japanase version of the radio tried updating the firmware?

Racing tomorrow night.

So I ran my buggy for a whole race meet after updating my radio to version 1.1.
Did not experience any glitches or problems after the software update. Success!:)
