FUTABA 4GWD with R124H RECEIVER & (2) S3004 SERVOS
Digital screen technology in a surface stick system.
The LCD screen on the 4GWD is just one of the great upgrades this radio has over the 4VWD. Four proportional channels of surface control means that the 4GWD is ideal for applications such as tanks, big rigs and robots and the 4GWD allows for easy and accurate access, scrolling and programming of the system’s many functions!
The 4GWD boasts these additional programming features:
• Digital trims
• End point adjustment
• Sub trims
• 3-model memory
• Model copy and model clear
FUTABA 4PK 4-CHANNEL 2.4GHz COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Where form, features and functionality come together to create the premier racer’s radio!
It’s the system designed for dominance! The 4PK’s contemporary styling is not only unique, it’s extremely well-balanced and ergonomic. And because the transmitter only weighs 1.5 pounds, you won’t worry about hand fatigue all the way through a grueling main. Besides the repositionable wheel, you can also adjust the trigger location to fit your finger. Programming pluses include 40-model memory, 12-character naming, super-sensitive 2048 resolution AND a 4th channel that’s ideal for adjusting front and rear brake bias in monster trucks. And here’s the best part: the 4PK was designed from the beginning as a spread spectrum system. That means the 2.4GHz module is built in, a state-of-the-art receiver is included, and all of the incredible advantages of FASST system technology are at your command!
• Much consideration went into the design of the 4PK’s grip, which is slightly thicker to accommodate larger hands. Besides being lighter, the transmitter’s weight is well balanced for added comfort.
• Achieve perfect “feel” in seconds with the Advanced Positioning Adapter. You can drop the wheel down, move it left or right, even change the angle – a feature many drivers have requested.
• The trigger position can also be shifted by as much as 7 mm. This allows you to customize the radio for sharper response based on finger size.
• The redesigned keypad features a large 4-direction jog button for quick access and scrolling. Important functions can be assigned to buttons on the wheel housing to keep them within easy reach.
• Not only is the backlit LCD screen large enough for easy reading without eye strain, it’s also angled for instant viewing without having to tilt the transmitter.
• Because the 4PK was engineered from the beginning for 2.4GHz modulation, there’s no long, unwieldy antenna. Instead, the antenna is shorter and lighter in weight, folds down for easy storage, and pivots for optimum reception.
• No NiCd battery here – the 4PK comes with an 1700mAh NiMH pack that’s comparable in size, but with almost twice the capacity. That means about TWO HOURS of operation on a single charge – enough for the longest of mains and maybe even an entire weekend of racing!
• The included R604FS receiver features Dual Antenna Diversity (DAD) for reliability and security. Its compact size (1.54 x 1.02 x .55 inches) and weight (0.49 ounces) lets you use it in the tightest installations.
