T10PX Software Update
Ver.6.0

1. Added Trans-Brake

RACING MENU

Drag racing
Trans – Brake
The Trans-Brake allows the engine to develop full power without that power being transmitted into the drive-train. This function can be used in a drag racing situation, where the driver can use the trans-brake to assist in the staging process.

When the switch is activated, Trans-brake is visible as “BRK” on the main screen. You can now modulate the throttle and the car will not move until the Trans brake switch is released.

T10PX Software Update
Ver.5.0

1. Extended throttle speed function.
Added an alternate speed type for drag cars to the throttle speed function.

RACING MENU
Speed

Throttle speed
Sudden throttle trigger operation on a slippery road only causes the wheels to spin, and the vehicle cannot accelerate smoothly. Setting the throttle speed function reduces wasteful battery consumption while at the same time permitting smooth, enjoyable operation.

Speed Type (Normal / Alternate)

Normal Speed Type
When speed type is set to normal, traditional Soeed & curve operation will occur, the throttle curve will not listen to the speed function.

Alternate Speed Type
When the speed type is set to alternate, it allows speed to follow and traverse the throttle curve. Additionally a button was also added to the speed menu to quickly navigate to throttle curve regardless of speed type.

Using Alternate Speed Type

1. (“Turn” direction delay adjustment)
   Tap the value button on the [Turn] . Value input buttons appear on the screen. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to adjust the turn speed amount.

Telemetry

This screen displays and sets the various information from the receiver. The telemetry can be used in the F-4G and THFSS system, but not in the THFSS-SR mode. An alarm and vibration can be generated depending on the information. Each information screen sets the alarm and the vibration. For example, a drop in the voltage of the receiver battery housed in the model car can be reported by an alarm. The telemetry data received last is memorized. Therefore, even if the receiver power is turned off, information display, audio guide, and alarms remain until the transmitter power is turned off. The speech function can be turned on and off with the specified switch.

1. About Ultra Response UR Mode

ULTRA RESPONSE
The T10PX F-4G system provides the fastest Futaba response (as of 2022/5) when used in combination with the Futaba New UR Servo. Follow the steps below to switch the settings. UR mode can only be used with F-4G systems. It can be used with T10PX / R404SBS (E) Ver.2 or later. Futaba WEB site https://futabausa.com/ Alternatively, download the data from the WEB site of the local distributor and update the T10PX / R404SBS (E) to use it.

Procedure for changing T10PX settings
It is necessary to relink and restart the receiver power supply after changing the settings.

1. Set the transmitter “PWR” side power switch to ON. From the Home screen, press the HOME button or tapped [Menu] on the touch panel. Next, select [Receiver] at the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by tapping the screen.

2. In the case of F-4G, 4 types of response settings can be set for each channel according to the servo used. Select UR mode when using the UR servo set to UR mode.
   ● UR mode: UR servo (Set to UR mode)
   ● Digital servo
   ● SR modeUR/SR servo (Set to SR mode)
   ● Analog servo Note: In UR mode ON, normal servo, ESC, and standard gyro will not operate.

3. When using battery fail-safe, set the Battery Fail-safe Voltage in the “Fail-safe” in the “Linkage menu’.
   *In the F-4G system, the Battery Fail-safe voltage is set at the time of linking. Relink when changing Battery Fail-safe voltage.

4. Bring the transmitter and receiver within 50 cm of each other (antennas do not touch) and turn on the receiver power.

5. Touch [Link] on the transmitter T10PX screen, you will hear a chime sound and T10PX will enter the link mode for 20 seconds.

6. During the 20 seconds link mode, press the receiver for at least 2 seconds. The LED blinks red and then changes to a greenish red — green steady light. When the T10PX makes a beeping sound and the message “Link with receiver” appears on the screen, release the receiver push switch. This ends reading of mutual ID and displays the memorized receiver ID number on the T10PX screen.
   Power cycle the receiver. If the “Receiver not found” error screen is displayed, linking failed. Check the set contents and repeat the linking operation.

7. Once the settings are complete, turn the receiver off and then on again. The response and battery fail-safe voltage settings will take effect after the receiver is restarted.

Receiver Mode Precautions

Caution
Be sure to use the T10PX receiver setting and the servo to be used under predetermined conditions.
Under other conditions, the set will not operate, or the specified performance will not be displayed even if it operates. In addition, it may cause servo trouble. Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.
