I used mine for one race day. I am unsure if I like it or not yet. I am coming from a long history of futaba radios. I have been using them for years. My last few were the 3pk 2.4ghz & 3pmx 2.4ghz. I would have got the 4pk but money is tight and I don't need all the features it offers now. I think the previous futabas I have owned had a overall better feel to them in my hand. I really can't decide yet & wanted to here what you guys think.... I do like the LCD screen on it but that doesn't make the whole radio a winner yet. Chime In...

I love mine...I bought it the day it was available and haven't looked back yet. Feels very close to the 4PK without the drop down. I haven't had any problems with range or speed in my eyes. Best radio I have owned and that's been quite a few including high end ones.

Had one and it's poorly built, the steering stops broke after normal use and Futaba Australia didn't warranty it (even though it seems Futaba USA will)

Save yourself the headache, 3pks or 4pk are far better, better built, 4pl is feature packed in a cheap package.

I already have the 4pl I used it once , can't decide if I like it or not. The features are great but my 3pk and 3pmx felt allot better quality. For some reason these feel cheaply made , the plastics and such. I love the LCD screen and it feels good in my hand just lighter and cheaper. I like a bit of weight to my radio.

** I'm also in the U.S. So futaba warranty is no issue.

I bought my 4pl about 2 month ago and I love it. It as made a world of difference in my driving. I can just tell you about my experinces and so far it been a great radio.

What radio did you come from?

I was using a Flysky GT3. The Flysky is good for bashing but not racing in my opinion. The first race with my Futaba 4Pl I picked up 2 laps and I have made the A main in Stoct STC in the 2 races since I got it.

I feel like a 4PL fanboy when I reply to these threads.

I own BOTH a 4PL and a 4PKS. I can say the 4PL holds its own quite well as far as feel and speed compared to the 4PKS. I also came from a 3PKS with FASST module and the 4PL feels much more connected than the 3PKS did, IMO. I have not had any durability issues with the 4PL and, for the price, it's hard to beat.

Really? Supposedly the Fasst system is faster then the technology used in the 4pl .

I love mine. Has perfect balance and great features. I've had all the high end radios. The 4pl ranks among the best. Radios are more about comfort and feel, not speed and functions. Obviously, you are not comfortable with radio. Sell it while it is practically new and get something you like.

Only if you run the FASST system in C2 mode, which is only available in the 4PK or 4PKS.

Actually your wrong on that partially yes comfort and feel are important but speed and Function plays a huge role aswell. Especially if you race. Who would buy a comfortable radio with no options and race. For racing you need to be able to adjust certain things to suit your driving style and track layout. Major example is EPA .

Really? When I post up, I'm assuming people are racers. My comparisons are from similiar high end equipment. All the top radios are fast and have great features. After that you buy on comfort or brand loyalty.

Everyone has there own opinion , you'd get mixed opinions on this so it's up in the air....

I've ordered one, I should receive it next week. Just hope I'll like it
