My new toy.

My new Futaba 4PX radio, which I am still learning.

Nice radio system and like the carbon fiber handle @roger25186. I love my Futaba system.

Thanks WoodiE, I also got the screen protector, the small grip and a LiFe battery for it. I am thinking of changing the handle for http://www.ebay.com/itm/Active-Hobb...690991?hash=item1ea84dd12f:g:0goAAOSwfZ1WaSNX. I like the bling factor.

Looks sharp! Curious to know how it works for you. Not that I'm really in the market but every once in a while a deal falls into my lap.... Always nice to know instead of learning the hard way!

So far it works great. I like the menu screen, easier to navigate over the 4PLS, which I had. The 4PLS would of suited me fine but I had to have the latest just for the wow factor.

Ohhhhh... You're one of 'those' people...
Lol! Just kidding!
What types of rigs do you run with it?

Right now, I got an Associated RC8.2e but soon to have an Associated RC8B3e which I will work on during the winter months. Plus I run VRC some also.

I think I may end up with another radio system sooner than later. I haven't really stepped up into full digital gear but with a couple builds (which ended up taking a back seat to life needs in general) I would like to get into it. I still have a number of old school rigs running old school electronics. I love how they run, I love the nostalgia and since they all run perfectly, I see no need to change THOSE kits up.
I have always been a fan of the Futaba gear but since digital took over, airtronics has my attention. Idk... Again, I may end up with the deal of a lifetime falling in my lap so things like brand may be decided for me!

Post up some picks of your rigs when you get a chance! I'd love to see them! (even better with video!)

The front end of the chassis from when I hit a curb going WOT.

Here it is, after replacing the chassis, front gear box, both steering post with bearings and miscellaneous hardware. Notice the road rash on the front shock tower and shock caps. I hope to get the RC8B3e by Christmas.

I think these pretty much cover it!!! I'm just glad that there were no plastic driver injuries!!!

Here is my gun metal handle and two knobs. Can't tell to much with the lighting, but it looks very nice in person.


BTW, I had to cut down the hex wrench on the short part of the L to a little over 1/4 inch. Now to find me some colored anodized cap head screws that I like.

That's pretty slick! I like it!
