I had a Futaba 4PLS for years and it was great. If you have the funds always go for the best. I’ve got a 7PX LM now. Mainly because it does Kyosho Mini-Zs as well which is very novel unless you with KOPRO. But I ain’t Japanese so that wasn’t really an option for me. Not sure which is better out the 2 but both are top end.

Feels as good as it looks

Yeah I had been looking at that since the 4PM is on backorder..just a good price jump. All my Traxxas rigs, I have on a stock Traxxas Transmitter. As I have the bluetooth module and get full telemetry. The Futaba would be for my Raminator, Grave Digger, Lunchbox and down the road Clodbuster and any other non Traxxas rig. don't know if I want to drop $700 on a transmitter at the moment...rather buy a 4pm and have money towards another rig. Lol!

Where are you based? I have 2 x 4plms and would be happy to let one go.
 
Mine does, but it’s the 4PLMS
I use the RPM and temp telemetry, although I’d say the temp is not totally reliable. That maybe my ham fisted install though. RPM works fine.

I’ve got a Hilantronics thing that does it all but doesn’t transmit data to the Tx

Ok so I just bought the FS noble and it's a solid radio awesome for the price 200 off Amazon and it came with a mini receiver and a regular one too which is great...... I really think you should look into it

Well...ummmm....done bought one last week?..I like it it’s so much better than the IT4S...I looked into the Futaba and honestly I didn’t really need to pay for top of the line..not racing and the latency isn’t far off Sanwa and Futaba...never had a radio this nice and thought I didn’t til I got into the 1/5 scales...all my telemetry from the IT4S worked perfectly just updated firmware on radio and receiver plugged it in and set up the end points and such...good buy

Horses for courses.
 
10k or not ,these things wiegh 30+lbs and getting hit by that isn't fun I'm sure, and will probably end in a lawsuit costing more then the radio that could have saved you from it ?‍♂️
 
This one was $200 which I don’t consider cheap but back to the radio..what’s wrong with it?...y’all keep saying cheap and I just don’t see cheap with this radio...do they explode or something...wait let me guess..throw it in the trash...seems to be the theme round here ??
