I have been patiently awaiting the 4PK's arrival to replace my 5 year old 3PK Just dunno if its worth 600 smackers. Lots of new features, Like the looks of the new one also. got alot of trucks, and cars that would go nicley trying to fill up the 40 vehicle memory lol.
Dunno its up in the air.
What do you all think?

The Futaba4PK was only just released and drew a lot of attention from racers due to its rather unique look. 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 and 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, which 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!

Features - 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.

Looks like something from Star Trek! Beam me up Scotty! LOL I do not know too much about them just that when I saw one I did not like the way it looks.

Nice radio, but not my cup of tea, I actually think the 3pk looks like a better radio than the dx3r but thats IMHO, for some reason I like the design of the 4pk, just don't like the price tag. Also for that kind of money it should come with onboard telematry. i.e. engine temp etc.

It does the trick for me.
Cant beat it for the price IMO.
As for how I got it.
I inherited it from my older bro.
I still havent figured out how to work the damn thing.
You have it all ready? I thought it wasn't due out until January 15th. Definitely take pictures as the ones on-line don't show the trigger and I'm curious as to how it looks like in person.
