- Hey Everyone,
This Video is about the 4PM and the 7PXR. giving my personal opinion on both. Pro's and Cons etc.. Ive had the chance to use the 4PM with my Play Cars such as Crawling and soon to play with my Drag car. I totally love the 4PM for the people just getting into the hobby, Great price point too if you're on a budget. On the other side of things, the Higher end Radio, 7PXR I've been using for the racing side of things and couldn't be more happier with the unbelievable Touch screen and easy to use format. Watch the video to see and hear about more of these great Remotes!

To each his own. For me, the average racer, the 4PM is all the radio I will ever need. Great video, thanks!
I'd like to see a video explaining the tuning options of remotes. Maybe explain the reason and benifits of adjusting EPA, dual rates, servo speed, expo. Could also add in some track footage or draw on a whiteboard.
Good job on stating that all other brands are good for radios. Appreciate you being honest and straight forward with us! Keep up the good work on the videos! Let’s see some more
Thanks for the feedback. To me it’s important to be honest and transparent and not one sided.
I was an avid spectrum user for about 10 years. Last year I switched to the 7px and was blown away just by the feel of the radio alone. And then you get into how easy the radio is to use. By far the best radio on the market.
That’s great to hear!
Just like you said, I use a 4pv now and will be upgrading to a 7pxr when we get back to racing.
I've been a spectrum guy for years. A few months ago I switched to futaba. Love my 7px. Great video!
Nothing like a sanwa though. Futaba is a great product. Cant go wrong with either
That’s awesome to hear!
Spectrum 🤮🤮🤮

My dream radio 7pxr
When I first got the 7PXR, it was a little much. After setting it up and dinking around for a few days, I gotten use to it pretty quick. Now I got a B74.2 I just built and did the telemetry thing, I'm happy I got this thing now. Plus it's a sweat radio, no doubt about that.
On the 7PXR,How does the Start Function work? Dont really understand the instructions in the manual. I dont understsnd The trigger point and preset values, and what they mean when you set them.
For the PXR. What receiver do you typically use? And do you use any of the telemetry functions? Such as the motor temp? I know you have to purchase the sensor for that though. Thx!!!
I just got one of these this week, I have a couple older receivers I want to use how do you bind them and calibrate the esc for full throttle neutral and break. I should specify I got the 4pm
My son is getting to the point of being competitive in his racing. Our radios are old, entry level computerized radios. I am definitely on a budget as a single parent of 3, but am looking into getting him a better radio, not so much for additional features, but for a faster connection to his cars.
Do you think a new mid level radio would achieve this? He's 15 and our current radios are early 2.4 stuff that is nearly as old as he is. MX-V and DX3S.
Thanks for the video, any input would be most appreciated...
Spencer, Will I be able to program the throttle for a drag race set up? Toning down the initial hit then ramping it up?
Can you help with updating the 4pm. I have tried the method online and nothing works. Idk if I'm doing something wrong or not
Which is better shaft driven 4wd buggy or belt driven 4wd? Or is it driver preference? Also do shaft driven buggies drive and handle differently than belt driven?
Done thumbs up.. nice share bro..
Are you able to easily sync all the models/setting on a 7PX over to a 7PXR? If so, how? Thank you!
Nice vid. Got my remote it’s not in English can u help with a quick step by step through the menu?
I have been running Hitec Lynx 4 for over 4 years now, it as been flawless and the receivers are also dirt cheap. Can't tell any difference running tenth scale 2wd buggy with any other big brands.
Its a bit on the heavier side though.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video! I'm super curious about the differences between the 7PX and 7PXR. I've read several places they lightened the 7PXR up. Can you tell us what it weights (ounces or grams) without the battery? Any other differences you're aware of? The rest looks like custom stuff we could order to upgrade the 7PX.
The weight of the radio is pretty comparable. The R has a upgraded screen with more efficiency on the battery. The top had a little different button layout.
Spencer Rivkin, is the screen easier to read outside in sunlight?
How much longer before Futaba releases an updated/new style radio?
He's spot on I bought the 3pv first and just recently got the 7pxr. You would do better to go straight to the top and have it be the last radio you'll ever need.
Which battery type do you like to use in the 7pxr ?
Thank you and Keep posting those video’s !
Protek 2300
Would be awesome to get a little run down on your 2wd Slovakia worlds car? not sure if that's a possibility.. anyway enjoying the videos!
Just getting into rc. I have hoonicorn hoonitruck traxxas tr6 Arrma infraction and Arrma fireteam. Will this work for all the machines
If your a crawler like myself the 7 channels will come really handy!!
Futaba for the Win !!!
I just sold my 4pv, and wondering do i need to buy the latest and greatest 7pxr or i just need to upgrade to 4pm with latest receiver technology. Now i think i know what i need. Great vid, thanks!
I'm fairly certain the 4PM is a downgrade from the 4PV for those that aren't looking to buy Mini-Zs
@@alb9022 4pm have the latest SR technology
@@cococockatoo9896 and the 4pm you can update via SD card and the 4pv you can't
thanks for the video! Since you showed your Enduro, I was wondering ig you have used the Futaba 7PX with LED light controllers? Are the switches able to cycle through a My Trick LED controller - I have only been able to use this channel to turn the lights on and off although the controller allows cycling through some conditions on the controller as well. I have turned conditions on in the linkage menu, assigned PS6 for the dial switch in the front of the transmitter to allow a multi input over a toggle switch. Do you know if this is possible at all?
sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Idris Kaleb instablaster :)
@Bruno Joey Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Bruno Joey It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Idris Kaleb glad I could help :D
I love my 4PXR
my radio is about 11-12 years old and im getting back into rc so im looking for a new one because my old one looses connection sometimes sending my nitro truck on its own.
I just pulled the trigger on a new 7PXR today!! (no pun intended) Upgraded from my 4PV that I used last year!! Can't wait to get to race with it!!
Heck Yeah!
Spencer I need some help soldering my esc to my hobbywing 6.5t motor. The wires arent staying soldered to the motor posts. If you or someone can help me that would be awesome and greatly appreciated. Thank you Aaron
You need to apply flux to the connectors. This removes impurities and helps to make a better bond.czcams.com/video/dvMR2YH2DxE/video.html
I am seriously considering the 4pm to replace a kyosho nitro RTR. Casual weekend racer new to hobby and not wanting to break the bank on a high end radio. Thoughts thanks
Thank you for watching. I would definitely say it would be an upgrade. Most likely you will ever need another radio again if you do buy it. :)
@@spencerrivkinracing bought it
I have a sanwa m12s and i noticed u had one in some of your videos. How does it compare to your 7pkr? Like the features and latency etc... minus the touch screen ofcourse
That’s a great question. I thought the m12s felt better in my hand than the m17, then once I tried out the 7PX/7pxr it felt so much better with the grip and steering wheel. On a performance standpoint I think they work similar. But a easy to use stand point the Futaba was Substantially easier to function and navigate
@@spencerrivkinracing ok thanks for the info. As a young kid i club raced with a futaba magnum and magnum sport but technology has came along way. I have been racing with a low end spektrum up until my wife bought me the 12s for Christmas. I have always loved futaba but the racers at my track now are using sanwa or spektrum. U are right though navigation can be difficult. Just trying the sub trim at first was a little difficult haha.
My current transmitter it's the Spektrum DX2E and I'd like to upgrade soon ish, have your ever used the Spektrum DX5C? Cause that's what I'm thinking as my next transmitter. Thanks
I used to run spectrum when I first started and as I got more involved I stepped away from spectrum due to some issues they had along the years. To me they feel like a toy and not a complete product. I wouldn’t put them in the top 5 of radio brands
I had a 5c and had issues with the power button getting stuck, your milage may vary but I upgraded to the 4pm upon release and definitely saw an decrease in lap times and overall confidence.
Now with that being said, spencer was right that we all end up upgrading to the flagship radio soon after going mid tier and my 7pxr arrives Monday
Are drivers for all the teams required to race all the classes such as 2wd, 4wd, 2wd truck, gas and nitro? Or do yall get to pick and choose what class or classes you want to race and compete in?
My friends and I drive for fun and curious if drivers get to pick and choose classes.
Hi I'm looking at getting a new radio. Is the 7pxr better then the 7px? Do the 2 radios have braking percentages that I can change?
Hi there. The 7PXR is just an updated version of the radio. Both have the same settings to adjust. Yes; you can adjust the percentage in One increments on all steering steering, Throttle, and braking.
@@spencerrivkinracing
Thank you for your help. It makes my decision much easier.
On your 1/10 vehicles do you use the speed and curve functions on your 7pxr much?
I use it a lot. -15 on steering and steering speed forward and return at 87 nothing on the throttle
Does the 7PXR have a left hand wheel conversion capability? Thanks
Yes
Tire question. What color compound is the firmest and hardest tire compound?
Our y2 is the hardest
Jconcepts
How hard and firm is the blue compound?
Spencer thank you for the info on your jconcepts tires I picked up a front and rear set of the dirt webs in blue compound they are awesome.
Thanks Spencer for this video. I have a new Futaba 4PM that I am using for my crawler. I am finding that the transition from forward to reverse is very abrupt. Is there a setting on the 4PM that will make the transition less aggressive.
adjust you expo and throttle/reverse curves sir
Spencer what are your thoughts on the futaba 3pv?
I haven’t. But I’ve heard good things on it. :)
Awesome thanks.
Also what is practicing with a "center diff"?
It's great for the price, menu functionality not as good though (have to click all the way through as opposed to scrolling). Range is good, feels nice in the hand. I use one on a Kraton 6S and have had no issues.
Love the video content. I have to disagree a little. The 4PM is a great race radio. It not a entry level radio. It has the same capabilities as the 7PX but does have all the extra bells and whistles( touch screen, drop down, etc). I have raced for over 10 years and have used many radios and my 1st Futaba(4PM) has been great! I would challenge you go beyond just using it for your crawler and actually run it with your race cars. You will be surprised. It has great trigger tension and position adjustability. Easy to toggle menus, great assignment to buttons for nitro pit stop idle. It is a great radio. I do wish it did have a drop down.
Yes, I said all this in the video. The 4pm is awesome.
Which has the best range
the 7pxr but both can go further can we can see
See to me the 4PM is a high end radio, this is really all relative. The 4PM can do it all but it's definitely geared towards racing. It can support any ground vehicle, even has specialty stuff for nitro racing and tons of adjustability for all vehicles. I only see the point in the super high end radios if you actually race RC cars for a living.
4PM is better than the older 4PV? :)
I personally haven’t used the 4PV. But I know a lot of people have been very happy getting the 4pm coming from the 4PV
@@spencerrivkinracing thanks for the reply, I decided to go straight for the 7PXR :)
The flysky noble nb4 is better built and has a touch screen and is a third of the price ! 🤔
Don't like that the 4pm can't have the drop down steering wheel.
I almost bought the 4pm it's definitely an upgrade from the rtr but if you pick up the 7px for the first time you will buy it.🤦
I’d take two 4PM’s for the price of one 7PX. More flexibility and the 4PM has almost all the same functionality.
Can i use this one for Niro cars or Gas cars? anyone?
yes you can
Here I am thinking I'm pimp with my RC8B3e & RC8T3.1e on my 4PV then comes along Spencer Rivkin with the .2s🥺😂
How did you surprise yourself? 😆
Dude.... you need a mic. I had to turn the volume up waaaay to much to be able to hear you.
yea maybe associated can gift him a mic instead of more bodies and whatever else they gifts they give him
For the 4pm and 270$, id say its a little more than getting your feet wet. Since the 7 is only one step above it. Since everyone nowadays loves cheap 80$ amazon crap. Yes im talking about the frysky, the flysky, and dumbo, and whatever other garbage is out there. I guarantee you can give a pro the 4, and he'll do just the same. It has all the same features, including the high speed and sbus capable. Alot of the hobby from what i noticed being around it for over 30 yrs, is that people like to show up with the most expensive stuff, thinking thats gonna make them go faster. I can tell you its not the color of your parts, or the bling it provides. Rc is kinda compareable to race cars. Dudes immediately buy the most expensive stuff. A well setup car is worth more than any bling, any day. I see newbies go out and get the most expensive stuff, and not understand it. Not just radios. Example, you can go buy an xray, probably the most expensive cars, but still get beat by a losi (cough) or associated or whatever your choosing. I ran quarter scales with a crap jrx3 for years until i bought a 3pk. And other than antenna strength at that time, i still dominated my local track. Yeah the expensive stuff is nice, but not nevessary. I think alot of people just want to show up feeling like a pro, even when being a novice. Partly i think cause theyll be judged by their equiptment. Because face it, rc cars are aimed at adults not kids. When i started you could get a combo under 250$ all in. Now you cant even think about handing over a car to a young kid to just beat on at todays prices. Rc kills itself by remaining out of reach for the average consumer. Hence 1200$ xmaxxs. And theyre all plastic from china, and give you a poop radio and no support equipment. By the way, my first hobbygrade rc was a monster beetle out of the jc pennys christmas catalogue. And my dad had a marui big bear he got used. I only own associateds since 94. With the exception of an axial smt10 and two tmaxxs i built from scratch. Ive owned 3 a stamp gold pans, and still own one.
Another great video, i wanted to buy a new radio and stop being bored, get a hobby LOL
4 pm is after work 7pxr is ready for work
Where 599
Wow that is a loud thumbs up with air pods in warn a guy lol
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are just rumbling about getting a high end radio without giving any good reasons. You did not mention protocol reliability, speed and robustness. Or even the features which make the 7 PXR a better choice.
They're both T-FHSS SR, same protocol. Probably identical chipset. Would love to see a teardown! The difference is likely just touch UI and ergonomics/build materials. I don't see any racer-applicable features in the 7's manual that the 4 doesn't also have.
YES. this comment i is the truth. SUCH a horrible video with zero information. almost none of what he said made sense. it was lik e a vlog style video were som moron just talks about the thoughts in their head
expensive hobby and this guy has, what I am guessing, a mic from an Iphone Gen 3.
