Yes, the label said Futaba, just like all of my radios.

In my research I never saw that the throttle speed function could not be assigned to the dials. In the book the function select dial function feature description says, "This function assigns functions to dials". Throttle speed is listed as a function. Did I not read that correctly?

You are right, I "assumed" that function would be a "no brainer" but it looks like I am the one with no brains. I have thousands invested in cars so I figured the $490 that I paid would be worth it.
22 brake functions but no throttle speed function seems worthy of a complaint though.
