Futaba 4PM compared to 3PV and 7PX

[@tonys852]

Love the fact you included your daughter. Well done guys.

[@Bordz_92]

I have two daughters. Your patience is awesome. Of all the take away from this video, I need to include my girls into my hobby more often

[@Powerpickle68]

I started with the 3pv and just switched to the 4pm. Huge difference in speed, smoothness and feeling more connected to the vehicle which has helped me be faster all around.

[@pangjianghua4084]

what receiver did you use with 3pv? 203 or 304 or else?

[@koltonmarco6037]

You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@koltonmarco6037]

@Valentino Kayden thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@koltonmarco6037]

@Valentino Kayden It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@dirtberger4533]

Thanks, for the update, still have my first Futaba from 35 years ago. Stick radio.

[@AdamLeeRC]

Nice! I also still have my old Futaba stick radio that paired with my first real RC car a Futaba FX-10.

[@dirtberger4533]

@@AdamLeeRC wow sweet.

[@FranBushardt]

I have the T4PM and run the 3 Energizer Lithium and Highly Recommend them as I get many Months of use before Replacement. I have only ran them dead once in several years.

[@thomascee]

Adorable getting your daughter in there! So awesome!

[@tyronerobinson6433]

The reason it say it it MiniZ compatible is some of the MiniZ cars come with with built in receivers that can be bind to the Futaba radio directly. Love your co star. Keep enjoying RC bro!!!

[@AdrenLnFueledScholar]

Love how you include your daughter! Major props 👊🏻

[@MyKonaRC]

Don't know why Futaba removed the drop wheel adjustment like the 4PK

[@patrickkennedy2533]

Cuteness Overload

[@thomascee]

You ever think of doing the latency tests some do? Where they record it in slow motion and count the frames? I'm upgrading specifically because my stock radio has a huge steering deadzone. It's awful. Looking for something responsive.

[@AdamLeeRC]

No sorry, I haven't had the urge to do a slow motion latency comparison. Coming from a diehard Futaba guy. I now only use Flysky NB4. And NB4 pro for racing. I can't feel the difference in latency. Also my driving style adds expo to my steering anyways so I don't need to be lightning fast.

[@thomascee]

@@AdamLeeRC Oh hey no worries. But fascinating! So you switched from Futaba to the NB4??? Man I'd TOTALLY watch that if you ever wanted to make a discussion video of why you switched. I think all roads are leading me to the NB4. That looks like a solid radio for performance and price. THANKS for the response! Super interesting and helpful. Cheers to you and the fam!

[@aussiecoastie72]

I own the 3PV … A good radio overall, but the menu system is an absolute nightmare to navigate through 😅 🤯 I love the way you are so patient with your daughter 😊 great video

[@AdamLeeRC]

Agreed. The 3PV is definitely a learning curve.

[@michaeldufour9410]

Bonjour l'ami... Ta vidéo est pourrie... Mais tes conseil sont précieux... Après avoir vu ta vidéo je vais acheté une 4pm merci pour ta vidéo honnête et sans langue de bois ❤

[@mike._.feliciano6782]

Adam, question for you. You mentioned, towards the end of this video (6:18) that you're not sure why Futaba mentions MINI Z on the 4PM because if Kyosho places Futaba receivers in their EVOs than any Futaba radio will work, are you saying that your Futaba 3PV would work as well? Great video.

[@AdamLeeRC]

Only certain futaba transmitters have the mini z protocol. I see what you're getting at though. I was unsure as well. Futaba protocol should work with all futaba receivers... Unfortunately the 3PV doesn't have the mini z EVO feature.

[@S.JuYurn]

OMG Here's an angel!

[@781coolmind]

good video brother

[@love_4_rc180]

Hey Would like to know, if you can link any futaba Receiver's to the 7PX. For example.. if the futaba was bought brand New, & it came with electric RECEIVER. Can i use the 7px with R334SBS SR Servo RECEIVER. Please let me know thanks

[@eronlambert583]

Hi question for you.. how do I do a factory reset on futaba 4pm??

[@MrSneakyGunz]

Adorable.

[@Good1vibes]

The first time I used a Futaba was when I had my Tamiya Frog. Yeah…years ago! I’m planning to upgrade my RTR transmitter for a Futaba 4PM for my RTR TRX4 and HPI Baja 5t but don’t know which receiver to get. It’s either the R304SB or R334SBS. Any suggestions?

[@AdamLeeRC]

Does your TRX4 need 5 channels?

[@Good1vibes]

@@AdamLeeRC no

[@AdamLeeRC]

@@Good1vibes get the R203GF for your TRX and the R304SB for your Baja. Have you seen the Flysky Noble?

[@Good1vibes]

@@AdamLeeRC I’ve seen the Noble but I still like a Futaba. It just brings back memories. Thanks. 😀👍🏼

[@AdamLeeRC]

@@Good1vibes definitely. I still have my Futaba's from the 80's!

[@R.B_B]

Great co host.

[@speedy6135]

Hello there Adam, I’m looking at both the 4pm and 7pxr. Decked out crawler with 2spd, dig, lights everywhere lol, more than likely 2 winches. Any input would be great. Thank you

[@AdamLeeRC]

The 4PM would not give you enough channels to control all your accessories. So you'd have to go with the 7. If you're not set with sticking to Futaba, take a look at the Flysky Noble NB4. It's cheaper, and functions are comparable to the 7PXR at 1/4 the price. Flysky receivers are also 1/3 the price.

[@speedy6135]

Thank you for your fast reply. I will look into the Flysky as well. Thank you for your time!

[@bricmerc1961]

Hi Adam, I am a fanatic Futaba about 30 years... But now in dec past i buy the 4PM. Now do not works, maybe you can help me. the TX works only in a range of two meters !!! i change a new r304sb RX and the same thing. I try to bind again and do not accept. You now how to factory reset TX ???

[@AdamLeeRC]

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I don't know how to do a factory reset.

[@Shyamiiii]

Hello. Is this still an active channel?

[@AdamLeeRC]

Hopefully soon. I've been busy moving and building my new house.

[@Shyamiiii]

@@AdamLeeRC congrats. How has the pm4 held up since ur review?

[@AdamLeeRC]

@@Shyamiiii 4PM is a great radio. I've since switched to Flysky Noble pro. Cheaper receivers! Lol

[@douglasfernandes4397]

Friend can put in futaba t4pm a battery life 6.6v and he asks 4.5v in the manual ???

[@AdamLeeRC]

The same life pack fits all 3 models. You just have to change the system settings to life battery.

[@baggszilla]

Will the 4pm fit inside the 7px's carry case?

[@tyronerobinson6433]

Bobby Baggs yes it will

[@AdamLeeRC]

Yes it does

[@baggszilla]

Awesome 👍 Thanks

[@jc51373]

great review, daughter is adorable...Of these three what you recommend for someone with two to three cars? Assuming money is not an issue. I love the fact you can adjust the ergo on the 7PXr.

[@AdamLeeRC]

I would personally recommend the 4PM

[@TheRealRCHobbyist]

Solid information. I’m looking to pick this up soon. Would you make the same decision in 2023?

[@AdamLeeRC]

I actually switched to Flysky Noble for non racing and Pro version for racing. Cheaper receivers. Same transmitter performance.

[@TheRealRCHobbyist]

@@AdamLeeRC I ordered the Futaba 4PM just yesterday. It’s a replacement for the RTR I hope it will be easier to control.

[@05ALT]

With the 4PM and The 7PX what are the main differences you can feel between the two. I wanna get rid of my GT5 and wanna choose between the 4PM and The 7PX but I'm stuck.

[@AdamLeeRC]

The 7PX is very "fancy". Color touch screen and 7 channels vs only 4 with the 4PM. I personally would go 4PM if I started all over. The 7PX is an over kill. The speeds are the same. Features are the same. But if you wanna fancy your friends, get the 7PX, it's super nice! I'm currently selling my 7PX if you're interested. Comes with Protek case for $500 shipped. lol

[@Banner718]

Adam Lee RC Good Morning brother ! Are you really selling your 7PX ? How long have you had it ? Is there anything wrong with it ?

[@AdamLeeRC]

@@Banner718 yeah I sold it already. I had it for almost 2 years.

[@jamarcus_OG]

@@AdamLeeRC Hello mate, I would like to replace my old rc Kyosho Perfex KT-14 with the Futaba 3PV. Didn't know anything about response times, how is the Futaba compared to the Kyosho (I know this may sound like a stupid question because the Kyosho Perfex is 12 years old lol)? Thanks in advance and very very nice and clear video, keep it up 👍

[@gaffle-411]

SO WHAT’S THE deal with the 4PV version?

[@Aykutreyes]

Do you see much difference in speed if any of the 4pm vs. the 7px?

[@AdamLeeRC]

I did not feel any speed difference between the two

[@bradkalman2353]

How much is the futaba you can't use anymore because futaba is always expensive.

[@AdamLeeRC]

I'm going to post it on Ebay for $60

[@goofyskulls]

Awsome video. what do you think of the flysky noble 4 compared to the futaba 4pm?

[@AdamLeeRC]

I have yet to get my hands on a Noble 4, looks impressive. What always sells me on radios is price of receivers and signal strength. I've flown with Flysky in my FPV quads and their signal strength is very good. So I'm sure the Noble with carry that over. I will be definitely give the Noble a try one day.

[@mrslyds8602]

This is my first time seeing any of your vids because I'm looking into getting a new transmitter but anyway noticed your daughter's Hawaiian name and I'm assuming you're Hawaiian but do you live on one of the islands? I'm from molokai but live on Oahu now. Just curious, mahalo for the review aloha

I knew from the way he said “don’t take that off.” (I wasn’t looking at the screen) but I knew he was referring to the screen saver film😂 I had the screen protector on my 3pm for a year or so and when the in-law kids came over to visit. It took like 30 seconds of me walking out the garage to come back and see my 7 yr old nephew in law peeling it off 🤯😡🤬🥵🥶😶‍🌫️🫥🗣aye come get yo kids visit time is over. Lol. Kids 😇🫠
