Radio - Futaba FASST > Any Micro recievers that work with the FASST system that use normal plugs?

In my hurry to buy a New FASST module and reciever for my T-rex I discovered that I ordered a reciever that takes micro plugs. Well, I am not able to change the connecters on the GY401 Gyro to Micro.

Now I want to get a micro 6ch 2.4 reciever that will work with FASST and normal servo plugs. Anyone know of any???

(retorical question) Why did Futaba not make a micro 2.4 reciever that took normal plugs??? UGH!!!

Is the 617 to big for you? Not a bad size I thought, I have some 606's nut they are the same size as the 617. Make sure you get a 617 and not a 607 because the channel grouping is better on the 617 for CCPM mixing.

I was actually hoping that another compatible brand. Guess not. The Reciever I have is the R616FFM. I looked at the 617 and might exchange this for that, the 617 is 3grams heavier but I might not have a choice in this matter.

Thanks

3 grams isn't going to make a difference. I flew a 617 on my Trex 450 and it was great!

If the wings are travelling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter

617 is much smaller and lighter than the R146iP which was the most commonly used Futaba 72Mhz receiver in T-Rex. You should have no problem with 617 in your T-Rex.

Or you can remove the casing and shrink wrap it to save even more weight.
