Well bit the bullet and got a futaba 4pl. Got it super cheap at my local hobby shop for only $210 brand new. Popped the reciever in my truck and took it for a spin. First impressions like the radio, just didn't like what it did to my truck next. Tons of glitching, servo was sticking, throttle would say on a little longer after i was completely off the trigger, and sometimes it would steer the opposite direction i chose. Completley un-heard of on this radio. Binded it to my friend's 4pl at the track and it did the same thing to him. At least I now know it was only the reciever. Guess i just got the first dud out of like a million as i have never heard of that before. Luckily i have a great hobbyshop and they'll swap it out for me no problem on monday. Just kind of irks me i didn't get to race. Not the radio's fault just a bad reciever. I'm sure with a new reciever i'll have just as positive of an experience as everyone else has had with this radio.
