Hi,
The Futaba 4YF is an old favorite of mine, I have a few of them now, and the FM system is still OK ( you don't need the servos BTW)
But the way forward is deffinately the 2.4GHz systems.
The only thing I would say in favour of the 4YF is, if it still has manual trim adjustment sliders, it makes it a bit easier to control some of the Tamiya tank functions. But that said, I am running Tamiya tanks with Futaba 2.4GHz radios that have digital trim settings.
Hope that helps.
