Transmitter question inquiry Futuba 4PKS-r vs 4PX-r

[GirthBrooks]

Is there that much of a difference will i be fine with easy Killswitch installation on my Losi 5ive T 2.0 with the 4pksr ? They seem pretty damn good for only 200.00$ vs paying over 500.00$ for the 4pxr ? I need answers if possible on there differences . I've heard good things about the old FASST SYSTEM on the 4pks-r

Get a 3pv don't really need a 4 channel. fasst receiver are crazy expensive. Have a few from the 3pm days when 2.4ghz just came out.

4PM is awesome for the money and their newest radio. Using that on my new Baja build and it was very easy to setup. Used a dynamite kill switch on channel three. Works great and it’s super fast.

4 channel is nice, you don't you need it until you do. Most of my stuff has 4 channels if you want any accessories.

4pxr is an awesome radio, I like it just as much as my 7pxr. If you can find one I'd definitely take it over most. If you don't need all the bells and whistles a 4pm is just as good

I've been. Using a 3pv since last yr. Only issue I have with it is where the 3rd channel switch is located which is my kill switch button. On my spektrum it's right by my thumb so I can quickly hit it. The 3pv it by the wheel. I don't like that much. Otherwise for the $100 ya can't go wrong.

If your looking to run a ton of accessories, i.e. lighting then like @John Parks said 4th channel is nice but kinda not needed. You can run a splitter from the battery channel and grab power for lighting.

With the 4pxr I can kill my Losi with the transmitter itself with a push of a button correct

 

[MonsterAir]

You can do that with all of them

You only need 2 channels to control the car 3rd is used for the kill switch.
