Sanwa has a “feeling” setting to adjust response time to tune sensitivity. Does the Futaba 7PX have a feature like this?

Antenna length. Regular system has a normal length antenna.

All of the E's either have no external antenna or a very short one.

The 334 sbs-e has a short 1.5" antenna.

When setting your servos to SR mode there are 3 different variations and each one is supposed to give a different feeling. I haven't found any information as to what those settings change however so if anyone knows please share.

Just a quick question as im a new owner of a 7pxr. Manual specifies life battery support with 6.6v but is it safe to use lipo batteries? I only ask as a search for 7px claims it does but no concrete data on the r model. Is there somewhere in the manual ive missed that has a more expanded voltage range?

Thinking about making the switch back to Futaba after dabbling in a M17 briefly, is it looking to anyone like the 7pxr will be around a while or is there something new coming down the pipe? I only ask as i've seen several 7pxr's for sale, and have recently seen them out of stock on amain.

Did you buy it new? It should have come with the Futaba LIFE battery. (At least mine did, as new.)

i bought mine from a LHS which would have brought it in from the US so i think i only get the one receiver and no battery.

They have different configurations available.

mine did not come with a life battery from Futaba USA

ended up with FUT01004395-3. i didn't really ask specifically for any particular kit. i was more interested in not having to wait like 6 weeks to get it haha. i think i did alright on it and the hobby store was very happy to see my debit card..
