Futaba 4PKS 4-Channel 2.4GHz FASST Radio System w/R614FS Receiver

This is the Futaba 4PKS 4-Channel 2.4GHz FASST Radio System, with an included R614FS receiver. With much lower latency (up to 2 times faster than the 4PK) and programming sophistication and advancements never before incorporated into a surface system, the 4PKS picks up where the 4PK leaves off. The LCD screen on the stylish transmitter lets you view up to 36 functions, and an adapter is included for repositioning wheel height and angle for maximum comfort and response.

A vibrator built into the grip can be programmed to serve any of several functions: as a lap timer, up timer, navigation aid or low battery alert. Extra protection features have been added, including High Voltage and Low Battery alarms, as well as automatic system shut-down after ten minutes of non-use. And of course there's the precision and security of Futaba's acclaimed 2.4GHz FASST technology that is leading the way in radio control. Competitive drivers with their eyes on the prize have a new weapon for owning the winner's circle: the 4PKS!

4PKS Specifics:

• Menu Selection and Direct Selection modes: the menu screen can be selected from among 4 levels, while the direct menu for up to 8 of your more frequently used functions can be assigned to direct selection buttons
• Brake mixing for large cars: allows front and rear wheels of 1/5 scale and larger cars to be adjusted independently
• Anti-skid braking system: applies the brakes in a way so that the tires do not lose their grip on the track, even when braking in the corners
• Throttle acceleration: reduces the time lag on the clutch and brakes
• Throttle speed: lets you accelerate smoothly on slippery surfaces for more control and less tire spin
• Start function: pre-sets initial acceleration off the starting line at less than full throttle to reduce wheel spin; normal throttle resumes when the trigger is released
• Steering speed: suppresses the maximum operating speed of the steering servo for better control
• Racing timer: records up to 99 lap times, with total time and average lap time, and can be activated automatically with the trigger; an audible alarm can be set to indicate target lap and refueling times

4PKS System Overview:

• 2.4GHz FASST system: the industry's most reliable RF link
• 40-model memory: with names up to 10 letters, numbers and symbols so that logical names may be used; model memory with different setups can be created using the model copy function
• Menu customizing: lets you display the menu order and other functions for individual models
• Digital trim w/reset: displays the current trim position on the LCD screen, while allowing for one step of operating amount to be adjusted with no effect on maximum travel of the steering and throttle servos
• Function select dial: assigns functions to the digital trim, grip dial and knob, and allows you to adjust the step amount and operating direction; eliminates trim positioning for each model because all dials are digital
• Function select switch: lets you assign functions to three switches and set operating direction
• MC-Link: sets the contents of the Link software for varying the frequency and other data changes of the Futaba speed control via your PC
• Edit button lock & trim/dial lock: prohibits the setting and operation of transmitter edit buttons, trim and dials
• Changeable wheel and trigger location: wheel position can be offset using the included APA adapter; wheel angle and trigger can also be adjusted
• Reversible hand operation: wheel section can be installed for left- or right-hand driving
• Tension adjustment: tension of the steering wheel and throttle trigger springs can be adjusted from the outside
• Mechanical ATL adjustment: lets you decrease the total travel of the brake side of the throttle trigger
• Display switch: allows function setup without transmitting
• Vibrating grip: can be used as a lap timer, up timer, navigation aid or low battery alert
