Other 2.4GHz systems hold firm to one or two frequencies, increasing the potential for interference. The frequency of Futaba 2.4GHz FASST shifts hundreds of times per second, so there are no signal conflicts or interruptions – and no need for a frequency pin!

Patent # 6,141,392

2.4GHz FASST scans incoming data and applies sophisticated error correction techniques – resulting in a system that gives you a solid, impenetrable connection with your model.

Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems seamlessly select the best reception between two receiver antennas, so there's no loss of signal.

R603FF receiver included with 3PM 2.4GHz does not offer Dual Antenna Diversity.

Futaba 2.4GHz FASST system transmitters leave the factory with a unique and permanent ID code. Once linked to the receiver, the code ensures that the receiver will recognize and respond ONLY to that transmitter. The linking process is simple...just push a button on the receiver.

Custom-Developed IC Chips

Futaba uses custom IC chips that have been designed specifically for radio-control – ensuring quality, reliability, and safety. This is why Futaba FASST systems are faster and more reliable than the competition.

Compact, "All-in-One" Receivers

Futaba's small, powerful 2.4GHz FASST R607FS receiver for flight systems can control giant-scale models as easily as park flyers and weighs a scant 6.37 grams without case. Full-range systems from other manufacturers include a bigger, two-piece receiver, and you must purchase a smaller park flyer receiver separately.

Over 2x Less Minimum Latency

Latency is the elapsed time between your movement of the transmitter controls and servo response. In Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems, that response can happen over twice as fast – so you feel less like you're "out in front" leading your model, and more like you're inside driving or flying it.

100x Faster Antenna Switching

If the receiver notices a problem with the data coming into one antenna, it rapidly switches to the other, looking for the sharpest signal.

Stronger, More Robust Link

Futaba doesn't need redundant receivers. Instead, we use a combination of Channel Shifting and Dual Antenna Diversity (DAD) to provide a robust, highly dependable link between transmitter and receiver.

Hassle-Free Fail Safe

Futaba 2.4GHz's Fail Safe is programmed right through the transmitter on the 6EX, just like on conventional systems. The competitor's radios require a complicated six-step process to set up their Fail Safe, along with a separate binding plug that can easily be misplaced.
