Are ANY of you 1/4 pounder drivers using the new Futaba 4PK radio? Is so how about posting a report on your operation and ANY problems experienced.
If you have upgraded software, transmitter battery or receivers let me know.

Thanks,
Mike Clark

Mike I'm running one have been using it for 1/4 scale the last 5 races. I have not had any problems with it. It has nim batteries in it. I am using the earlier verson 2.4 reciever from the 3pk just because I'm to lazy to switch them out. The software does have a few changes from the 3pk and a few more buttons available for different fuctions. All the switches and buttons are asignable if you want to change things around to your own likeing.

The new radio requires the use of digital servos ...right?

The 4pk will run analog It is like the 3pk you set which style of servo you are using. you do have to use one of the 2.4 recievers. In my opinon if you are already using non digital servos and the 3pk, the only thing you will gain (for quit alot of doe) is a lighter transmiter and the longer battery life of the nihm batt.
