-sorry man. ...but if it's any consolation I've been using a Futaba 2pl for the past 8 years ..... ...its taped together and the foam on the wheel has been coming off in chunks. Surprisingly it is a good radio and I really can't fault it in any way. But 8 years of use, it's time to upgrade.
Just need to work on getting my own track (like someone I know).

It's still in like-new condition.
Yeah, I'm a postwhore. Sorry, I hope you guys don't mind. I do try to bring value to the forums by contributing whatever I know.

On my 4PKS-R, there is a DELAY feature where you can slow down the trigger pull signal output to your receiver. While the throttle curve and Expo helps, the delay feature was a big improvement for me for a peaky motor/car I have. You can set it in the throttle pull range too. It is quite awesome. I am sure the 4PX has it too.
I downloaded the 4PX manual. Check page 63 "Throttle Speed" and "Throttle Servo Delay". Hope it helps.

I have a 4pks-r with a bunch of receivers. I was wondering if the FAAST receivers are just as good as the FHSS-t receivers that come with the 4PX? I want to upgrade my radio but would prefer not to buy a bunch of new receivers if it's not necessary. What are people's experiences?

Not sure the answer to your question, ...

BUT the FASST will work exactly the same, speed etc, as they did in your previous radio, you will just get the much better smoother pots in the 4px etc
we have been over this and over this
the tech for FASST is probably better BUT for the 4PX the T-FHSS ARE faster. I own and have tried all three recv types in my 4PX and can see my car turning in earlier with the T-FHSS
I run the R304SBE in most of my cars, my backup usgt and backup F1 have 614ff-e
no issues at any 1/10 track with either

no just 604/614f receivers. I wonder how much I could get for my 4pks-r transmitter only?!

Yup, you should be fine using your 604/614 receivers. I honestly can't tell the difference between FASST and FHSS. Some people say they can tell the difference in response, but it is very subtle at best.
