I’m getting this! I’ve used Futaba ALL MY Life and they are the best in my opinion.
I need this in my life.
Man these new radios coming out are sick! I still love and use my KO Propo EX1UR and EX10 radios always liked KO!
Nice radio! If I didnt love my 4px so much i would get this radio.
Great Video Rich! Finally got mine ordered today!!!
Thank you. Nice vid. Thanks again keep them coming. RCN
Epic !!! Great vid Rich 👍👍
Looks great! Might just have too look into an upgrade
Nice vid, thanks for the informations man. But i think i still love my 4pksr, its more than enough for me right now
Thats a cool radio
I just seen this radio in the tower hobbies magazine yesterday 😁😁😁😁😁
Interesting. I've had my 7PX for about 8 weeks. I ordered it online from Banzai Hobby in Japan. It arrived to me (here in Australia) with the oem Futaba 1700mah LiFe pack installed.
LosihoTTT i didnt even get a charger or a spare rx , USA VS asian version ive read ...
Very nice Rich, i like, One Luv!
Good old 7 cahnel radio
1:15 600 bucks and you get a box written cahnel on it.
Kutay Arıcan
Lol
muhaha
😆
its a print error whoever printed obviously fucked up not exactly Futaba itself jus saying
Looks nuts, I got the new 3PV as it’s all I need and simple, that 7PX looks very complicated but the interface looks good.
Just unboxed the 3PV for the budget series....video will be up on Monday!
Got my 7PX from RCMart. Took like 5 days free shipping 2 receivers and a Life Futaba battery installed
Saw your post was it really that cheap with 2 receivers any problems thanks
Which are the 2 and 3 position switches? I recently picked up this and a VS4-10 Portal. I'm struggling to set the Overdrive and Dig to a 3 pos switch.
Gorgeous RC controller, this is for serious hobby enthusiast, people that own lots of RC vehicles from brushless versions to nitro versions, but if you have the cash go for it.
That's a great radio man probably the best out there if you can afford 600 bucks go for it
Roy Nelson like any thing in life, if you want it and can't afford it "STEP YOUR 💰 GAME UP"
sdw2003 I totally agree man
the magician
life in the real world doesn't work like that. You may be born into a rich life or had the mental strength or luck to get where your at but not all of us did or can. Only a ignorant person would make such comments making it seem so easy because you have the education or the things I said above. Also, this is not about stepping your $$ game up, its about how you spend your money and or saving it.
7ch transmitter but 4ch receiver? Why? How to use 5 to 7? Where to connect 5th servo?
How does this compare to the sanwa m17.
Hi Richard, I've seen in other reviews that it seems like telemetry mode, 7-channels mode, and Super Response mode are all mutually exclusive. Do you confirm that?
Thank you!
Telemetry works with the T_FHSS mode (not T-FHSS SR, S-FHSS, or FASST). So you do lose SR. The manual has a footnote: "The analog servo mode of the S-FHSS system can use up to 7 channels. When using 5 or more channels, R2008SB and R2006GS can be used." Having said that, I don't know if this excludes the possibility of connecting 7 servos via SBUS 2 if using the FHSS modes.
That’s lovely lookin bit off kit what is the price for it n how come u only get 4 channel receiver but it’s 7 channel controler I don’t get that m8
$600 thats crazy . The 3pm fasst and others under $200 is all youll ever EVER NEED !!I run gas rc boats and they go out as far as anything i have as surface radios and i use r603rf rx with longet antenna and its all you EVER NEED
Does Futaba have a version of AVC that Spektrum has?
Nope. They do have several gyros available though
The only concern I would have is with the durability of the touch screen. On my 4px, I got nitro fuel on my hands and even after cleaning my hands as well as possible in the pits, the nitro fuel corroded the lettering off my transmitter. So, if a user were touching the screen with chemical residue on his/her hands, would it damage the touch screen. I guess time and experience will tell.
Futaba wrote ''channel'' wrong on the front of the box!
Yeah man, who wouldn't want a 7 cahnel radio?
Dang, for 600 I should be able to a camera and the screen display fpv
Hello sir. I want to ask dan make sure for this futaba 7px and the newest 7pxr, is it screen so frail.
My friend using this radio and had experienced defect on the screen after using several times. There was a vertical line on the right side of the screen, even though it never fell or bumped.
At this time I used Sanwa M17, MT44 and Flysky Noble NB4 and planning to have Futaba 7PXR, seeing that many people have screen defects, so I was a little hesitant to try Futaba 7pxr.
Maybe Futaba 4PM safer, enough / better as an alternative ?
Please advise. Thank you very much.
I haven't had any issues with my screen on the 7PX and I've had it since before it was launched - still heavily using it to this day. I'm not sure where you're based, but Futaba does have regional distributors that take care of any warranties.....like in the US, we have one based in Tennessee, I believe. The main advantage of the touch screen is that it's so much easier to get into menus versus hitting several buttons and cursor buttons to get there.
@@TheRCNetwork I see, im in Indonesia.. you can reach Facebook groups : Futaba 4x + 7px forum.. Several user had this issue.
facebook.com/groups/146273272500922/permalink/1210753299386242/
Typically with any product, the people that have the issues outcry the ones that don't. I'd bet that the margin of error with the 7PX/7PXr is very low. Futaba makes some great stuff
makes my 4plx look like line control.
Is it possible to setup on the Futaba 7PX a similar feature that offers on the fly throttle limiter? My son likes to drive my cars and I would like to setup a switch that allows to limit throttle down to 50%. I want to setup a switch that allows to switch on the fly between 100% and 50% throttle. Can this be done?
Yeah, easily. You can turn the throttle EPA's down pretty quick with the touch screen. Or like you suggested, set up a switch
The RCNetwork , but how? The manual doesn’t explain anything about how to setup a switch to alternate between multiple throttle settings. Care to explain how?
Can the 7px use the orange or "cheap" receivers from my 4pk that use FASST c1?
I haven't tested, but they should - all of my Futaba receivers I used with the 4PX work with the 7PX
@@TheRCNetwork I've got the 4pk FASST, not the 4px
So what can you do with the extra channels?
Lights, 2 speed trans, Dig, servos, etc
I thought you were only going to ever use the Airtronics M12, why the switch?
VX Adventures I’ve never owned the M12....you’re probably thinking of Jason
Oh that could be, you guys all look the same so maybe I was mistaking you two!
I want to see a review once you've used it for a month or so. I wonder if this touchscreen is like the 14mz or the 18mz.
Well, after owning the 4PV, 4PX and this one....the main difference is how quick you can get into the screens....it's just plain easier and quicker with the touch screen. I've since sold off the 4PX and use this for all my race RC's
Nice. Seriously considering this radio. Thank you for your reply.
🤤🤤🤤 take my money futaba 💰
Order from the link in the video description to get it first!
Not convinced on touch screens. I prefer tactile buttons and knobs myself. As well, for their flagship radio you would think the could make sure the box art had no spelling errors on it :-p Sweet radio otherwise. Always been a Futaba fan.
can you use spektrum receivers with this ?
Justin Thorsson nope, they’re not compatible with Futaba - none of the brand names are cross compatible (Sanwa, Futaba and Spektrum). Futaba receivers are quite affordable with the basic 2-3 channel going for $30-40
i think i still have a futaba 'attack -r' they still any good?
Is that the FM crystal radio?
I understand the need for fast 2.4 systems but damn $600 my MT4 does great for club racing at LHS not like I will ever go pro
Like I said, it's not for everyone......and expensive. The MT4/MT44 and 4PV are great upgraded midline radios
So they dont make a 7 channel receiver for a 7 channel radio?
Sure, they do...most people wouldn't need a 7 channel receiver...but they are available
That touch screen looks iffy to me, it appears (and i may be wrong), that it is more like the very old first touch screen phones that were resistive touch screen that you actually had to use pressure to engage the screen unlike the capacitive touchscreens of modern phones where no pressure is needed and just engages from the lightest touch.
The sensitivity is adjustable so I imagine it is resistive. However that does mean any solid object can be used to operate, it doesn't need to be a conductive surface. If you're outside with it, it won't be effected by dust or moisture, or you wearing gloves etc. Tradeoffs.
It is adjustable....and I did still have the screen protective sheet on the screen (my OCD)
Still looks like a great radio nonetheless, i would get it if i didn't already have my 4PX. Seems like an unnecissary spending of $600+ dollars.
yeah thats exactly how it looks to me aswell. I'll wait until they release one with the modernized screen technology
What is the compatible 7 ch receiver?
I'm not well versed on that....as the most I ever use is 4 channels....I believe you would need their air receiver for a full 7 channels - they should be all compatible, just verify the language
@@TheRCNetwork i check on the manual, Futaba R2008SB 2.4GHz S-FHSS 8-Channel S.Bus Receiver is compatible, thanks though.
I pre ordered this radio for my Dbxl-e I just bought. After watching other review videos of people that have been using this radio I'm kind of second guessing. They all say in the best modes, or fastest modes you only get a max of 3 channels. If you want to use telemetry you only get 3 or 4 channels. You only get 7 channels on some basic mode with no telemetry, and no fast modes. :/
My 4PX is up for sale..
Gonna order one but damn . They could have include the inductive charger and at least a battery .....coming from dx6r , hope its worth it
It's a great radio. You'll see a difference right off in the latency and over all performance of your car vs Spektrum
The RCNetwork i really wanted it for the s bus 2 compatibility with my mamba x , no more messy wires al over the place . Hope battery life with a liFe Pack is great . Wasn't so much on the dx6r . And it sure boots up pretty fast, compared ....
Did you end up getting the 7PX?
For $599.99 it had better give you a happy ending!
Futaba makes awesome radios, and servos, but this is priced way out of my range.
Yeah, it's steep....and not for everyone.
Got my remote it’s not in English can someone help?
You'll have to pull the manual (in English) and back track the commands to get it out. The menu system should be the same
7 channels radio but only 4 channel receiver?
Tony Allen I thought the same.
This or the spektrum dx6r
DX6R's gimmicks work a little better, many will prefer their screen setup and it being android based, giving it more memory and horse-power. Futaba always works better as a radio though, more reliable longer ranged signals in my experience. If you have more than 50 vehicles with different presets the Spektrum will be the go-to option, lol
Pat nailed the response....Futaba just works better as a radio system than Spektrum. I am surprised at how well the touch screen is on the 7PX though....haven't tried a DX6r, but I'm not a fan of Android either
The RCNetwork thanks guys
7 channels for a car? So k.i.t.t. will finally becomes reality ;P
Possibly!
"7 cahnel" - did anyone else catch that? Thats a pretty bad sp error to have on the outside of box for a $600 radio.
i saw it too and laughed a bit, but nobody buys this because of the specs on the box. Gear snobs can't read :P
Yep, saw it in editing! lol
Oh, we read just fine, friend. :)
I must get me 1 ☝️
It's a great radio....so easy to get from item to item to tune
Intro
All I see is stuff I'll never be able to afford
For the price, you should be able to watch TH-cam on it. It costs more than a decent laptop for f sake!
It is pricey...and I agree, some type of video streaming would be cool!
топ аппаратура,хули тут сказать...
i have a FLYSKY !!!!!!!!!!
$35 bucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you. Not everyone needs the 7PX
7-Cahnel system? this is an insult to Japanese brand name
This was a super early media sample of the radio - so, I understand the issue...but yes, quite obvious
