Anyone else using the new Futaba 4YWD?

Haha thanks Acadieman B)

Well an update. Futaba Japan, emailed me back and it seems there was a problem with the receivers in the first batch and promptly sent me out a replacement with bonus 5x stickers Via EMS! B)

I had it in my tank and it was fine like the faulty one. But I have only just got around to putting it in my MAN TGX and it works flawlessly with all functions as per manual using the trims like the AM sets and fantastic range with no glitching.

So I would now certainly recommend this radio as a fantastic good priced entry 2.4 that works like it should and with the bigger ratchet in the trims center makes it a heap easier to return to the middle.

I will now be buying two more of these sets to replace the aging 27mhz 4vwds that my trucks currently run on for trouble (and stress) free operation

Looks like Tamiya will be offering a rebranded Futaba 4YWD that will work with an MFU.

I am currently using the Futaba 4YF 2.4GHz on my 1/16 Tamiya Leopard 2A6 and have only had the sound drop off a few times, other than that works good.

I am looking at getting the new Futaba 4YWD 2.4GHz for my new 1/14 Tamiya Knight Hauler and MFC-01, so fingers crossed things will be okay with the radio I receive.

Now that Futaba Japan have sent me a new receiver, everything works as it should.
I have nothing but praise for this new radio and both my tank and trucks work flawlessly with them.

I think you both would be more than happy with the operation of this unit.

Todd, it was inevitable that Tamiya would have a rebranded version and these also come in the Japanese Only Full Sets (i.e, tractor, mfu, radio, battery, charger).

All the best
