Description
Overview
The Futaba 10PXR with R404SBS-E receiver is a flagship 10-channel 2.4GHz surface radio system for serious RC racers and advanced builders. It combines Futaba's F-4G high-speed response system, telemetry capability, a 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen, and deep tuning menus for precision control across competition cars, crawlers, drift vehicles, and complex specialty builds.
This package includes the R404SBS-E receiver, which is designed for Futaba F-4G electric-powered surface models. It is an excellent choice for racers who want the speed and telemetry advantages of F-4G in EP cars while keeping the installation compact and clean.
The 10PXR is more than a basic transmitter. It supports advanced mixing, model memory, microSD updates, customizable switches, S.BUS servo programming, MC-Link ESC setup, steering and throttle speed control, left-hand conversion support, and ergonomic wheel/trigger adjustments for drivers who want the radio to match their exact driving style.
Key Features
- 10-channel Futaba surface transmitter system
- F-4G high-speed response system with telemetry
- Includes R404SBS-E F-4G receiver for electric-powered surface models
- 4.3-inch HVGA full-color backlit touchscreen
- Transflective display for indoor and outdoor visibility
- Supports T-FHSS-SR, T-FHSS, S-FHSS, and F-4G protocols
- 40-model memory with model copy function
- microSD support for software updates, model data, and telemetry logs
- Paddle switch, bottom switch, 3-position switch, programmable dials, and switch selection
- Brake mixing, steering mixing, 4WS crawler mixing, dual ESC mixing, gyro mixing, tank mixing, and CPS lighting control
- S.BUS servo setup and Futaba MC-Link ESC programming support
- Adjustable wheel position, wheel angle, trigger position, grip options, and left-handed wheel conversion
Performance Benefits
- F-4G delivers faster response than T-FHSS SR while supporting telemetry feedback.
- Advanced mixing makes the radio suitable for 1:5 cars, crawlers with four-wheel steering, dual-ESC vehicles, drift cars with gyros, tanks, and complex custom builds.
- Throttle speed control can soften trigger response on low-grip surfaces to reduce wheelspin and conserve battery.
- Steering speed adjustment helps calm overly fast servos and improve drivability on technical tracks.
- microSD support makes it easier to back up model settings and update transmitter software.
- The R404SBS-E receiver provides a compact F-4G/S.BUS2 installation for EP surface vehicles.
Usage Notes
- Use the R404SBS-E only with Futaba F-4G transmitter settings and compatible electric-powered surface models.
- The R404SBS-E should not be used in GP/nitro engine cars and should not be powered by dry batteries.
- When using SR mode, use SR-compatible servos only; analog or incompatible servos can be damaged.
- Best for 1:10 and 1:8 electric race cars, touring cars, buggies, truggies, drift cars, crawlers, and advanced custom surface vehicles.
- Wrap the receiver in foam or mount it securely to reduce vibration, and keep the antenna area clear of conductive materials.
- After linking, cycle receiver power and verify the receiver is controlled by the correct transmitter before connecting drive power.
