Tower Hobbies know say that the Futaba 4px will be in stock until late September.

Tower still has the 4pks-r, I wonder if they are still going to make them or are they going to discontinue them.

They will most likely just sell the 4PKSR really cheap to get rid of them and then discontinue them.

When they released the 4pks-r they discontinued there older version of the radio.

I still think the 4pksr is very much capable, but the 4px looks really nice.

Are there any major differences that you might know about the 4pksr and the 4px?

The 4PKSR and the 4PKX are both good radios but the feature that most stand out from the 4PKX is the option to use the radio in both of the futaba systems.

If you use both systems, wouldnt the response be a bit different as they are two different systems.

Futaba has the 4px listed as a FHSS system.

Are you sure, I thought it was the FASST system the comes standard with the 4P family of radios.

Here is a Screen Shot.

Does the Futaba 4PKSR drope down fit the 4PX radio?

I would say that they should fit because they both share similar steering wheels.

Isn't the FASST system "faster", so what doesnt make sense is that all the 4P come with that system but now you change it to the fhss system?
