Looking at the Futaba 4PM, Info?

[Rgarbarino]

I have a Losi 5T 2.0 running a Spektrum DX5C. I'm looking at getting a Futaba 4PM system. What is the difference between the two receiver options, the 304 and 334? Not familiar with Futaba products. Will the Futaba 4PM system work with the stock Losi servos? Any info on the 4PM is appreciated.

334 is super responsive system. 304 is standard with telemetry. Should work with stock servos with no problem??

The 334 I believe runs at a higher response rate, although it's probably not noticeable considering how fast they all are now anyway. The 4PM is the latest Futaba mid range radio. You can't go wrong with it.

This will explain it. Are you running lipo? That will determine if the servos will work or not for how long?

Yes running a lipo, 5200mah.

The stock servos should be good for lipo power

No reason really, just thinking of ideas for the Christmas wish list.

Who has the 4pm? Liking it? I was considering the flysky nb4, but it looks a little fragile. Plus after my new gt5c (or whatever it was) wouldn't work for more than 2 minutes, that kinda put a bad taste in my mouth with them.

I have one. I just got it so no complaints yet. I've been running it for my L5T break-in.

Hey guys, what advantages, if any, does the Futaba 4PV offer over the 4PM? I see the larger screen, better build quality, rubber handle, more batteries but what about the receiver choices? The 4PM is newer but looks like Futaba cut some corners and made it a little more entry level compared to the older 4PV.

You answered your own question lol, the 4pv is the better radio imo, but I'd bet if you wait they will have another premium 3 channel, as a side note, I have an old 3pm that was tits back in the day. Still works just doesn't have 4 channels.
