4pk?

I am going to be building an Brushless mbx5t and was wondering if the 4pk is a good deal? i heard nice reviews from the 3pk and i saw the 4pk will be out soon (does anyone know when?) and i was thinking if it would be a good radio. I will be using a Dx2 untill the 4pk comes in. But does anyone know when they will be released?

My bad..
Do you think this radio is worth the wait and $500?

I use an older 3PK and have had it now 4 yrs or so. It has capabilities I'll never use or even understand. I haven't moved to their FASST system due to cost (I have 13 rcs I'm running off the 3PK) and since I just bash, I would rather put the money for new radio plus 13-14 new rxs toward another rc or some hopups. I've never had probs on FM and can drive mine literally out of sight range wise. Don't see how could be better, just newer.

Its an impressive looking tx though, but for me, I'd have to find a deal like I did for my 3PK before I'd consider one. Think you'd need to be an elite racer to really benefit from 4PK's capabilities. Other txs will give you 95+% of same capabilities for a less $$s. If you want the best though, thats the best Futaba's got to offer currently and will be their flagship tx for several yrs to come.

Just stay with your 3pk and throw in a FASST module like Duster said.

I got one for my very old 3pk and MAN! Am I happy!!!

Just want to thro my opinion out there on the Nomadio react. I has used the 3pk and like the react better.
Pro-
4 channel
Computer programmable and unpalatable
light wieght
very very fast response time

Con-
battery is cheap
and plastic looks cheap but is tough!
rx's are kind of big

I was thinking this too, but these radios are almost impossible to buy since there never in stock..

you can find them pretty frequently on ebay. A react with a receiver should be around 200-220 used...

Still alot cheaper then a futaba 4pk with some more features.

And they (react and sensor) can run spektrum receivers.

(Note - the sensor you must have a laptop computer to switch it from nomadio to spektrum. The react has enough on board memory to just switch back and forth. So no laptop need for the react.)

I just recently bought a FASST 3PM and after a $20 kickback from Tower I got if for about $170 and since I am a basher should be plenty of radio for me
