Double post but looking for help:

My son and I are regulars at DRPRC here in Pa, and we've been using the Turnigy GTX3 radios from Hobby King (which both have had the steering return spring break, which I fixed).
I bought the 3PV for him, and I'm waiting for the 4PV to be released in a week or so. I installed it in his B5M, no issues with binding, everything went smooth as silk. Last night at practice, he complained about "no brakes" over a particular feature on the track. I drove his B5M for a little and the brakes worked perfectly, so I thought. He changed to fresh tires, and tried again. He kept complaining about "no brakes, something isnt right."

I took his car and tried to do some "hot laps" with it. Here's the thing, the radio "lags" when going from full brake to neutral or even a little throttle. It also lags went going from WOT to brake. I'm not talking about much time here, probably less than a second, but you can feel it. For sure.

The feature I talk about is a small single kicker jump right before the entry to a corner, it's pointless to jump it. The fast line is to brake real hard coming into the face of the jump, and just as you crest the jump return to nuetral of even a little throttle and just roll the jump barely having your wheels leave the ground. This sets you up for the inside line of the corner. You can feel the "lag" here because it doesn't release the brakes as quickly as you'd like it to.

When changing back to the GTX3 and it just feels faster in response time without a doubt.

So my question is: it comes stock with the R203GF receiver which is S-FHSS would switching to the R304SB receiver and setting system type to TFH-HS level the playing field btwn the 3PV and the GTX3?

The R304SB let's you use the TFH-HS is the system type setting where the R203GF doesnt.
