Futaba 4PKS 4-Channel 2.4GHz FASST Tx/Rx
New Page 1
Total control and convenience for serious racers.
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 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
