Futaba® 3PK 3-Channel Radio Systems

Twice the speed. All the bells & whistles. No equals.

These pistol grip systems are perfect for beginners and sport racers alike.

In top-level racing, speed and accuracy are everything. And with the 3PK in hand, drivers have everything they need to get the jump on the competition.

The innovative "Adjuster" feature makes being "out of tune" obsolete, by allowing the racer to electronically restore settings degraded by time or vibration. Plus, the 3PK is the only system available with an HRS (High Response Speed) transmission mode—FM technology so advanced that it required the creation of an exclusive feature (MC Set-Up) just to bring ESCs "up to speed" with HRS's higher signal rates.

The 3PK's three-tiered menu, innovative "Direct Select" feature and rear-mounted backlit LCD put programming speed—and the 3PK's full competitive potential—within easy reach of any serious racer.

With the included Advanced Positioning Adapter, it takes only seconds to drop the wheel to achieve the balance and feel that's just right for you. It allows the driver to position the steering wheel where ever preferred for comfort.

The 3PK's transmitter can operate in FM, PCM or HRS mode. In HRS mode, the transmitter sends out signals at twice the rate of typical FM systems—a fact which makes the 3PK the only system on the market which can take full advantage of the speed and accuracy of digital servos. Needless to say, the 3PK is equipped with the only receiver capable of processing data arriving at that rate: the R203HF (see below for recommended servos).

The following servos are recommended for the HRS (Hi Response Receiver R203HF), FUTL0340 and FUTL0344: Steering Throttle 1/8th On Road S9350 S9350 1/8th Off Road S9350 S9350 1/10th GP S9451 S9350 1/10th EP S9451 -- 1/10th EP S9550 (Tamiya) -- 1/12th EP S9650 -- 1/4th, 1/5th S5050 S9350
