Just received my King Hauler and it had a warning in the box :



"The Futaba 4ch R/C "Attack - 4WD (T4GWD)" futures click-touch type trim, which may cause difficulty when using with Tamiya DMD or MFU units. Though all operations can be done, it may take time when switching function (special operation) by adjusting trims. Therefore, use of Futaba 4ch R/C "Attack-4WD (T4VWD)" is recommended."

There is the same warning in my Hilux kit. But the thing is that Futaba discontinued the 4VWD!
Anyway, I bought the 4GWD. I like the 3 model memory and I'm not planning to use the MFC in my Hilux.
I've read somewhere that even radios with digital trims can be made to work with the MFC by setting the EPA to 150%. So I'm not too worried.
