Oh yeah I have the ballistic 1600 lipo in it as well. Man that thing
is so sweet. I used it for 3 full race days and it was still at 12.2v
I just charged it for the heck of it. AWESOME

I have had my 3PK super with FASST system and i love it. I gave my
wife my first 3PK with Spektrum HRS and i could feel the difference
right away. The FUTABA 3PK Super is the best radio ever made.

I've been running M8's and M11's for 3+ years now, I just hope adjusting
to new ergonomics doesn't take too long...

When I went from my M11 to the 3PKS I istalled the drop down and it
feels close to what I was used to.

Jeff, i just switched over to Futaba myself and I noticed an immediate
change in ergonomics. M11 would cramp my hand about the 15-20 min mark
and the 3PK (with dropdown) never did in 30 min. In my experience, in my
hands, the ergonomics are better.

I've got two weeks on my 3pk Jeff, going from my Z1 and I'm still
getting familiar with it. Hou are going to try and pull brake a
couple times and your finger will totally miss. Everyone that drives
a M11 and tries my stuff out does this.

Has anyone tried the Futaba S9451? For the past two years I have ran
the S9350 and S9351 and they have worked great. Just curious if
anyone has tried the S9451? Thanks.

I run the 9451 for T/B in both my truggy and buggy for over a year now
with no issues. They are wicked fast and plenty of torque for brake.
I have carried a spare but since I havent had any problems I let
someone else use it becuase I am confident that these are never going
to die. At $80 a servo I dont think there is a better choice for
throttle brake.

Has anyone tried the FASST system with a LIPO 7,2V?

I got both my cars converted over to my new Futaba TX/RX combo - The 3PK
Super is pretty easy to program, I really like the direct access menu.

With the wheel dropdown, it gets the wheel close to the same position as
the M11, although it feels like the wheel sticks out a little more from
the radio than it did on the M11. With a LiPo battery onboard, it's 4
ounces lighter than the M11 without a battery in it.

The new "Super" wheel is very nice, I like the foam on it a lot,
although it does need to be glued down, since it seems to slide a bit.

The FASST system was super easy to bind, even easier than a Spektrum
system. I've been running the original Spektrum modules and receivers
for 2 years now, I'm curious to see if this "feels" any faster. The
receiver size is nice and small, no fit issues in Mugen RX boxes.

Vito, yes, but I run a regulator. I think you should always run a
regulator to keep the voltage consistent until the end of your race. No
brake fade that way.

OK, were is the best place to get the Lipo's for 3pk and receiver's,
and Voltage regulator. Kendall I see you have voltage regulators back
ordered. Are they coming in soon!

Not sure what is up with the Much More Regulators. I will get in touch
with them again and see if we can speed up the process.
