I tested my R304SB again just to be sure, re-linked it, turned off telemetry, tried analogue and digital servo settings still no go, as i mentioned previously though, with everything powered on - i pull out servo plug and re-plug it the servo fires up, only way i can get it going with this RX, power it all down again and back to square 1

Im still curious about this though - i wonder if R304SBE is slightly different somehow??

Anyone have experience with R314SB/R314SBE? i now know R614FS works for me but just want to have a cheaper option for my next RX but would also like to know it will work with my KO BSx2 one10 Response servo.

Love this radio, here's mine with custom wrap, aluminum steering wheel, wheel grip, active hobby dress up kit, and hiro seiko screws.

Throttle speed ending about 90 percent: I noticed while toggling thru the throttle speed tab that it is set at 100 percent. It rests at neutral. However, when I push the trigger all the way, the dial goes up about to 90 - 95.percent and not any higher unless I press very hard compressing the plastic. Any quick fix for this? Thx

Have you done the calibration? I noticed that the deadband got smaller when I calibrated the esc. That might help.
Go to: System menu --> Calibration

You might be referring to the "Hight Point Spring" . you can remove it. I did. See page 19 of the user manual.

hi where does one got to request new features be added to the 4px in the next software update
one in particular is where i can slow the forward and return speed of the steering i think it should
also be added to the throttle side as well just like the sanwa radios have been doing for a while
now

the wheel is pretty rare and dunno if it's still available. I had is special ordered from japan. The billet grip however is available through tetsuji.biz, then the wrap I got from korean guy from his facebook page. He has more custom designs for the 4px and just search cri-art. Wasn't cheap though cause shipping was expensive also. With the custom wrap shipped cost me around 60 plus dollars.

Does one need to remove it to get 100percent throttle without jamming the trigger and is that what it was designed for? I would imagine everyone would be driving their buggies 95 percent throttle unless they applied a death grip to the trigger
