Posted March 30, 2008 The new flagship in surface systems. The design goes beyond stylish; the 4PK is also very well-balanced and ergonomic. The transmitter weighs only 1.5 pounds, which racers will appreciate at the end of a long, grueling main, and you can also position the wheel and adjust the trigger location to perfectly fit your hand and your type of driving. While driving, you'll enjoy performance pluses such as built-in 40-model memory, 10-character naming and super-sensitive 2048 resolution, to name just a few. Because the 4PK was designed as a native 2.4GHz spread spectrum system, there's no need for a separate module to worry about, a state-of-the-art receiver is included, and all of the incredible benefits of Futaba's FASST system technology are at your command. The included R604FS receiver features Dual Antenna Diversity (DAD) for reliability and security. Its compact size (1.54 x 1.02 x 0.55 inches) and weight (0.49 ounces) lets you use it in the tightest installations. 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. 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. The trigger position can also be adjusted, by as much as 7 mm. This allows you to customize the radio for sharper response based on finger size. 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 that many drivers have requested. 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 ideally balanced for added comfort. Because the 4PK was engineered from the beginning for 2.4GHz modulation, there's no module to worry about. No NiCd battery here — the 4PK comes with a 1700mAh NiMH transmitter 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2008 Bon j'ai un soucis, ça fait 2h que je me bas pour faire fonctionner une 3pk avec un module que j'avais dans ma caisse, c'est le TZ-FM de ma 3vcs. Il s'installe parfaitement a la place de celui de la 3pk mais je n'ai pas le message de reception RF sur l'ecran, j'ai essayé avec mon module spektrum, le led ne s'allume pas non plus...j'ai essayé le mode hrs avec le recepteur 203 de futaba et tout les mode avec le spektrum, rien...si quelqu'un a une solution...merci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 20, 2012 4PKS 4-Channel 2.4GHz Computer System SEARCH: Digital precision. User-friendly programming. 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! The included R614FF 2.4GHz FASST receiver is compact (1.38 x 0.91 x 0.33 inches) and lightweight (0.27 ounces), with much higher usable voltage (from 3.5V to 8.4V). Also available separately. FUTL7633 Compatible with R603FF, R603FS & R604FS receivers The redesigned trigger is wider and stronger on the brake/reverse side. Both 32mm and 34mm steering adapters are included for rotating the steering. Drivers can adjust by two degrees for a narrower or wider feel. The new, redesigned multi-functional jog button with red LED makes navigating around the menus easier. A 37mm APA adapter is included for repositioning the wheel and trigger. The 27mm APA adapter is optional. Special mixing allows the 4PKS to offer superb control for rock crawlers and other 4WD vehicles. 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 road surfaces for more control with 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 of 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 7-color LED pilot lamp — select your favorite LED color Description of all 36 4PKS functions: EPA End point adjustment STEXP Steering curve adjustment STSPD Steering servo delay THEXP Throttle curve adjustment THSPD Throttle servo delay A.B.S.

Posted August 19, 2012 bonsoir, ayant récemment changé ma 4Pk pour la plus simple et plus légère 4PL, il me viens une interrogation: J' aimai bien la position du volant de la 4PK, à l' aide de l' adaptateur option. Sur le site de l' importateur Futaba, (Avio et Tiger), il est mentionné que cet adaptateur est compatible avec la 4PL. Chose qui me semble étrange car du peu que j' ai vu, j' ai un doute sur la possibilité du montage de cet adaptateur sur ma 4PL.... Quelqu' un a t il déjà fait la modif? Est-ce réelement possible? Merci d' avance pour l' info... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
