The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate Multi-Discipline Controller for Ottawa Racers! At Hobby Hideaway, we recognize that our drivers often switch between drift, crawling, and micro racing, and the Futaba 4PM Plus is the versatile powerhouse designed to handle it all. This isn't just a standard 4-channel radio; it is a ground-up, purpose-built transmitter that brings professional-grade features to an accessible price point. With its incredible Super Response (SR) speed and seamless Mini-Z compatibility, the 4PM Plus is the tool that will define the next chapter of your racing career, whether you’re at our track in Orléans or out on the trails.
Precision Tech & Dynamic Driver Response Futaba focused on three core pillars: adaptability, ultra-fast response, and driver comfort. The 4PM Plus features a sleek, lightweight design with a fully adjustable throttle trigger and steering tension to suit any hand size or driving style. By integrating both T-FHSS SR and telemetry protocols, Futaba has kept the communication with your vehicle lightning-fast and reliable. Most impressively, the native support for Kyosho Mini-Z systems allows this single transmitter to manage your entire fleet, providing a consistent feel across every scale.
