I have this problem with my 4pk, when I have run my car in reverse the 4pk stays in reverse. Not at full reverse but just enough to make the car go slowly in reverse even when i not touch the throttle control.
The only way to make it go away is to give full throttle forward and let go of the throttle trigger fast.

It stays at this point in reverse:

How do i fix this? It is not a software glitch, I have reset it and adjustet it the way it's described in the manual. But it does not get any better!
I do think this is a hardware failure.

The worst thing is that this is almost a new remote, only 6 months old. And I ordered it over ebay from the US, so NO warenty in Norway where I live!

Hoping for help
Have a nice day!

Status: offline 		Ok, I see

How do I go forward to get this done? Must I contact someone in Norway? Is it under warranty from Futaba beeing so new?
Must I contact the original retailer? What about that warranty note that came with the transmitter, do that meen that I can send it directly to Futaba?

Status: offline 		It all depends upon where the transmitter was purchased. That's where you'll find warranty service. Since it's from Hong Kong, you'd have to contact the seller to see where they send systems to get warranty repair. Likely, you'd have to send directly to the Japanese service center for warranty service.
