I have never used a 4px or any futaba radio so i just want everyones thoughts on which one you feel makes you more "in the drivers seat" and which one feels better to you and why. I was also looking at the dx6r because it has some awesome features but ive always had problems with spektrum stuff in the past and i hardly ever see a spektrum radio work properly without headaches and glitching. Thanks in advance
Each brand radio has it's unique feel to it. People that like Futaba most likely will like newer Futabas. If you really like the MT4 you most likely will prefer M12s. The handle is the same and egro is about the same. You can also keep using your existing receivers.
I use 4px since I come from 4pksr and have some receivers I can use already. Futaba has a more num and less twitchy more stable feeling. M12s feels more responsive but feels more twitchy. I don't think it's a actual response time thing, but rather a gain and damping setting the brands chose for their radio system. Both will be very fast and have way faster frame rates and resolution you can actually distinguish from one to the other. I think both can exceed 200 hz in refresh rate
