Ok I had glitches as in the car deciding to go full throttle for a second when I was braking or just not doing what I wanted as in turn a second later like I was locked out, I managed to fit a 2300 mah life pak instead of the 4 AA's, as I was nailing the AA's, same issue so I rotated the antenna, same issue except this time when my car for a brief second didn't respond I looked at the signal strength on the radio, it was at 0.
I haven't tested the update yet am hoping that that will work.

I run 3 classes, SCT, ebuggy and Nitro truggy. I've always ran a protek life pack, and all running a R304SB RX. On the truggy I'm also using a temp sensor. I have practiced one night and raced 2 race days with all 3 vehicles and I have only honestly remembered to turn the antenna one time, but I have never noticed a glitch. I have charged the battery before each of the two race weekends. Every time I have used it so far it has been inside an indoor steel building. I ran a 15 min b main and a 30 min a main with the Truggy this past weekend also with no glitch.
I also have not done the firewire update since I seen some people who thought they had problems after the update. I hope my luck continues, it's a 3 1/2 hour drive to race for me during the winter months. It would be a long drive if I had to be trying to figure out radio problems.

Did you purchase your 4PX recently or is it one of the earlier pre-order units?
I suppose without s/n, the answer to my last question may or may not help pinpoint an issue there.

I ordered the radio from Tower Hobbies on October 2nd and it was on back order, it shipped from Tower on October 17th. So I would guess it was the second shipment since people had them before I had ordered?

Hey everyone, my apologies in advance if this has been discussed, I sifted through all 64 pages and tried a few searches but, didn't find what I was looking for.
I'm considering getting the 4PX. It would be to replace my Spektrum DX4R Pro. I'm a bit confused with the FASST and FHSS protocols when it comes to which is faster.
I want the fastest and smallest receiver possible. Which one is it?

The 304SB(the receiver that comes with it) and the 304SB-E are the fastest response time recievers for the 4PX. As a happy coincidence thay are also much cheaper than the older fasst recievers.

The FHSS has the fastest response time and the FASST have a better secure frequency hopping.
I think that’s how it was explained too me last week.
The R614's (FASST) and the R304SB (FHSS) are the same size as each other.
Dimensions: 1.38 x 0.91 x 0.35 in (35.1 x 23.2 x 9.0mm)
