Stock # System Modulation Band Receiver Tx NiMH
FUTK4900 4PK FASST FASST 2.4GHz R604FS 1700mAh
“Advanced radio technology
for precise, dependable control.”
4PK
The new flagship in surface systems.
The design goes beyond stylish; the 4PK is also very well-
balanced and ergonomic. The transmitter weighs only 1.5
pounds, which racers will appreciate at the end of a long,
grueling main, and you can also position the wheel and
adjust the trigger location to perfectly fit your hand and
your type of driving.
While driving, you’ll enjoy performance pluses such as
built-in 40-model memory, 10-character naming and
super-sensitive 2048 resolution, to name just a few. And
because the 4PK was designed from the beginning as
a 2.4GHz spread spectrum system, there’s no separate
module to worry about, a state-of-the-art receiver is
included, and all of the incredible benefits of Futaba’s
FASST system technology are at your command.

4PK System Specifics
The trigger position can also be adjusted,
by as much as 7 mm. This allows you to
customize the radio for sharper response
based on finger size.
The redesigned keypad features a large
4-direction jog button for quick access
and scrolling. Important functions can be
assigned to buttons on the wheel housing to
keep them within easy reach.
Achieve perfect “feel” in seconds with the
Advanced Positioning Adapter. You can drop
the wheel down, move it left or right, even
change the angle — a feature that many
drivers have requested.
Not only is the backlit LCD screen large
enough for easy reading without eye strain,
it’s also angled for instant viewing without
having to tilt the transmitter.
Much consideration went into
the design of the 4PK’s grip,
which is slightly thicker to
accommodate larger hands.
Besides being lighter, the
transmitter’s weight is ideally
balanced for added comfort.
Because the 4PK was engineered from the
beginning for 2.4GHz modulation, there’s
no module to worry about.
No NiCd battery here — the 4PK comes with a
1700mAh NiMH transmitter pack that’s comparable in
size, but with almost twice the capacity. That means
about TWO HOURS of operation on a single charge...
enough for the longest of mains!
