In top-level racing, speed and accuracy are everything. And with the 3PK in hand, drivers have everything they need to get the jump on the competition.
The innovative "Adjuster" feature makes being "out of tune" obsolete, by allowing the racer to electronically restore settings degraded by time or vibration. Plus, the 3PK is the only system available with an HRS (High Response Speed) transmission mode—FM technology so advanced that it required the creation of an exclusive feature (MC Set-Up) just to bring ESCs "up to speed" with HRS's higher signal rates.
The 3PK's transmitter can operate in FM, PCM or HRS mode. In HRS mode, the transmitter sends out signals at twice the rate of typical FM systems—a fact which makes the 3PK the only system on the market which can take full advantage of the speed and accuracy of digital servos. Needless to say, the 3PK is equipped with the only receiver capable of processing data arriving at that rate: the R203HF!
The 3PK's three-tiered menu, innovative "Direct Select" feature and rear-mounted backlit LCD put programming speed—and the 3PK's full competitive potential—within easy reach of any serious racer.
With the included Advanced Positioning Adapter, it takes only seconds to drop the wheel to achieve the balance and feel that's just right for you. It allows the driver to position the steering wheel where ever preferred for comfort.

Futaba 3PKS 3-Channel Black Super Radio System (Transmitter Only)
This is the best radio in the market right now. It has tons of well thought of features for the driver and it's more than I will ever use. The build and quality is solid and excellent. It weighs slightly more than the JR Z-1/ KO Propo Helios but it's well balanced. Best of all is the FUTABA performance which is second to none. Well worth the purchase.

Futaba 3PKS 3-Channel Black Super Radio System (Transmitter Only)
Best radio I have ever had the pleasure of using. Having the variation that excludes the module made it great for adding the FAAST system without having to pay for a module I never planned to use, great job AMain!

Futaba 3PKS 3-Channel Black Super Radio System (Transmitter Only)
I previously had the Nomadio React controller and was not pleased with it at all. You can read my review on that product. As for the 3PKS, this is the radio for me! I didn't even purchase this from A Main because they were already back ordered but was able to pick one up at my LHS.
The "transmitter only" package is the way to go if you want to run either the Futaba FASST system or any of the Spectrum systems. I run the Spectrum Pro with Telemetry for my Kyosho WC and STR. This system is reliable out of the box and it actually is put together like a top of the line controller should be.
Here is a warning to those who have this or will be getting this controller......do not keep unattended at the track as everyone is looking for this controller. My 2 cents!
