[QUOTE=fizzy;14140890]Ok so I've had the radio for a couple weeks now and I have to say in terms of build quality the 4px feels a bit cheap and flimsy compared to my Ko , it's very disappointing that futaba choose to have their high end surface stuff made in China I'm pretty sure the Ko was all Japan . It feels better in my hand than the Ko but the trigger slide adjustment doesn't really give you much room to play with. Installing the drop down also kinda made me feel like the radio is not at the higher end of quality in terms of build not software, again the Ko ex-1 kiy just feels really solid and well built compared to the 4px. As far as speed I have noticed no difference at all and if anything I seem to feel the ex1 has a more touchy response but that just might be me, the price and options with receivers is a nice bonus, I was concerned about size but that was a non issue as they fit better in all my cars so I'm happy with that all in all its ok but I'm a bit disappointed with the cheap feel of the radio in terms of build quality esp being a $650-$700 investment in my currency which isn't cheap but as far as feel in the hand and features I'm really happy, another issue I have is the screen seems to develop surface scratches too easily and I'll through just to install the wires are pressed against the backplate and the connectors feel like they're only...............

Yes i had the same feeling .coming from sanwa
Once instaled the dropdown it feels weak and wobely.
And it squeeks and kraks
But now when i use it for a while i forgot about it .
But we must see wat iit wil do in about 2 years use
