Thanks! I loved the way this radio felt and the build quality was great, but couldn't get it set up properly. Thanks to you it's working great for me now.
Again.. Great video from you, sir! I know it's over a year old, but I got educated in gyros and different settings in this one. You're making me a better RC-guy, thanks for that :D
My GT5 will come any day now. What 2S have you used and can you use and FS receivers? Great vids and thanks for all the great info... keep up the vids bud!

Hi the I purchased this Gt5 , I am new to the hobby, the thing is I have no idea to calibrate this GT5 to my rc crawler, it would be great I you had a video to show a basic calibration for a crowler, thanks
you explained 2 key things i was wondering about that no one else has mention in the many videos i have watched. the first being the fail safe and the seconds being the gyro. i was able to figure out the fail safe but i wish you went more into detail on it. every review of the TX is basically the same. throttle is smooth, steering is smooth, good ergonomics, the basis menu options but no one seems to go into much detail.
This is the best gyro system I’ve ever used. Way better than that Spektrum dx4c with AVC. Not sure if that’s the correct model but that one way horrible.
Great video as always ! Got a question tho I have a Xmaxx I put this radio on and everything works except I’m not sure if I can still use the motor sensor wires and if so where would they plug into on the receiver ? TIA!
I was looking at getting this cuz it has the crawler mode n I can use 4ws, gyro built in,nice priced I’ll probably get this one cuz it’s $25 less then the flysky that’s the same👍👍👊👊📹📹
I plan to record the 4ws, throttle gyro and ABS parts tonight and should have that video up tomorrow. I’ll have to mess with it but it doesn’t seem to be able to alternate between steering modes like other radios do.
Exocaged RC nice yea I went to buy one from hobbyking n the US warehouse was out n with the shipping cost it brought it up to the same price as the flysky fsgt5 n on amazon I could get one in two days so I got one bought the flysky should be a cool tx exactly same just different names on them
STEVO D 313 hey how did the radio do for you. I’m wanting to get something for my X-MAXX. I was wanting a temperature sensor or telemetry. Does this radio have that ? Do you think it would be good for X-MAXX ?
@@jacobhenson3952 just Google the manual for it buddy and you'll have your answers. That's what I do for each thing I need an answer for. Everything is on the web
Hey bro really cool vid man I will use these tips thx man just got one today. I am a lil confused coz manual says esc goes in channel 1 but some yt vids are showing it plugged into channel 2 and the servo in channel 1? Which way is correct please bud? New supporter here man 🙏🙏👊
Hi and Good Day @Exocaged RC Happy New Year! I'm an RC crawler with an SCX10ii rig. I'm currently using an Austar AX5. I'm upgrading my radio for an at least 4 channel because i'm gonna use it for my rigs lights and winch. I'm looking for a value for money radio now. To be honest my choices are GT5, Sanwa MT-4S and Sanwa MTS. But both are priced at least $80-$100 more than the GT5. The GT5 is the easy choice price wise, but if you were in my shoe would you got for the extra $80-$100 for the Sanwa? Just because it is Sanwa(more established & probably quality wise)? Just to clarify i do just RC Crawling. Hope to get your valuable opinion. Thank you and God bless!
If you want a crawler radio I only use the Hacked Flysky GT3c radio. 8ch and cheap receivers. I do the hacking and have several videos on this radio. It does everything, simple as that.
Hey @@ExocagedRC Thank you very much for taking time to reply. I really appreciate it. Just to let you know i went with the Flysky GT5. Used it 2x yet. So far i love it. Best feature and useful for me is the exponentials. Made my crawling so smooth. Again, thanks! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
ABS is an auto brake system it is a great system helps keep your car on the track just like abs on your car might have great for a slick or wet track to keep the car stable in the turns and quick stops
My understanding is that Flysky svc priority percentage is opposite of Futaba avc? 100% with svc is equal to 0% on avc. I'm I correct? Please let me know if you are certain that I am wrong or correct.
I have this receiver and I plugged in lights to chan 3 and it didn’t work.. is ther something else I have to do to assign the channnel or is it jus plug n play?? I also tried the other channels and got nothing
Having my eye on a gt5 or the noble but friends who race say that the fly sky radios response is slow and they who tested it on the track was actually between half a second to a second and a half slower on their lap times compared to the futaba and Sanwa radios.. In your experience are they telling the truth?
well, I see it like this, the GT5 is a very good all around radio, the latency ( speed ) is pretty quick but if I were to race legit, I'd use my Futaba 4pls. When racing a gyro is usually against the rules and the Futaba has a GREAT signal range and is very stable. All my bashers and fun trucks get GT5, racers get Futaba. Hope that helps
@@ExocagedRC thanx so much man. Yes that helped a lot. In my case though then I don't think I will be fast enough starting off racing in the beginning anyway to notice a big difference. But just incase I'm actually not bad and want to really race and get good. I'll get a futaba or sanwa just to be safe. No point in spending 200 bucks and then spending 250 later for a faster radio
One question-how can the gyro inside the receiver be deactivated, and if it is possible to do this? Another one: what approximate range for a this combo(Tx/Rx) have, and if it is greater than there of the Spektrum Dx5c? Thank you.
You can simply turn if off in the menu of the radio. So far I have not had an issue with range at all, as far as I can safely drive it, its been there.
Ok. Can you tell me, where , more exactly , în the menu, are the functions necessary to do this, more precisely, explain me which steps shall I follow? Thank you!
@@razvannicola5197 Rotate the dial until it comes round to the SVC emblem. Press down on the dial to enter into the SVC settings options. Rotate the dial through the different svc settings until you see 'ON' or 'OFF'. When it say 'ON' that means its ON... and SVC is active. Fancy that! If you press down on the dial, it starts flashing, rotate the dial and it will change to 'OFF', Press 'back' button to save and come out of these settings. Its very intuitive and super simple to navigate/use.
I have a question about the gt5. Is the Redcat, tringy and flysky receiver compatible.. if I got a flysky can I use the tringy or redcat gyro receiver.
Hello my friend ! , have a question about the 4w steering , on what channel do you connect the 2 servos ??, on the manual it said that the rear wheel steering servo goes on the 3rd channel , but what if I want to use that 3rd channel button on the radio to turn some lights, it wil mess up with the rear steering ??, Thank You !!
I have no idea about to calibrate anything reverse left right up down I have no idea would you be able to run a Full speck on this transmitter for a Crawler. Basically a full set up. I’m sure there’s more than one like me would like to hear that because not everyone knows how to use a translator a gnu to the Hobby so please can you do that so you may get more subscriber to and perhaps me
2 Questions. I bought this radio to replace the terrible Spektrum systems Arrma is using now in my Notorious and my Typhon 3s. For the SVC calibration in the Typhon was easy since the receiver lays flat in the car. But in my Notorious the receiver lays on its side. Will the gyro still work this way? And to calibrate do I just use the calibration through the radio? Also I noticed that when SVC is on in my Typhon I dont have the same throttle control while turning. Theres like a delay. Is there a way to have the SVC on, but not affect the throttle while turning? Thank you
@@ExocagedRC I'm having so much trouble with it when I go to bind it to the car I select a model and binded to it and all my cars still move even if it's not on that model
I have a question once I got it bind. I can't get my throttle to work. I put it my arrma senton and I did the throttle calibration. But I can't get the green light to come on my esc. I bind a reciever to my hobao vte and the same thing. When I did the throttle calibration I can't get the green light to come on the hobbywing esc.
@@sd_rcfanatic157 ok try this if the truck is in your hands and turned on, if you twist the truck to the right the front tires should turn to the left, do you get that? If they turn right with the truck then you need to reverse the gyro in the settings
Man, I really like this radio over a hacked Flysky GT3 system because the menu system is actally easy to understand and there os nothing to memorize. I understand this radio isn't a $600 Futaba but I wish you had the programming options found in one. For example, the ability to assign the 3-way switch that's assigned to channel 4 to channel 5. What really bugs me is that channels 5 and 6 are just dials. Would have been more useful as toggles, 3 way toggles at that! I'm still waiting on more info to come out regarding the new RadioLink 6 channel radio.
yeah it has some nice features but it's kind of a let down for the crawler guys, once you spend some time with the hacked radio its not so bad, but yeah they can be a real problem trying to learn them.
Exocaged RC Yes, unfortunately you are correct in regards to the Gt3B hacked version. As I wrote above, I'm looking into the new Radiolink RC6GS radio and looking at the manual it seems much more programmable (mixing options) over the GT5. Where the GT5 SHINES over the RC6GS is in the gyro implementation but I wouldn't personally have use for a gyro in my crawler. Still leaning towards a 7PX but I'm just looking at what's out there at the moment.
yeah, most of the local guys use the hacked gt3c because of price, I'm interested in the Futaba 7px but does it have momentary 3 pos switch for a winch? I have never messed with a Radiolink radio.
Exocaged RC The Futaba 7px does not have a physical or typical 3 way switch. What Futaba radio allows you to do is to program one of the 6 trim tabs for "3 way output" which will function just like a 3 way switch. You could technically run a front and rear winch on separate channels...not that one would. This is the way it Futaba has done things going back to at least the 4PK radio. I really like the Futaba in depth programmability on their flagship models.
i just turned on my new gt5, I got the fs-bs6 receiver. On the radio when I go to svc is says "SVC function not support!" and of course I cant play with any of the svc features. Any idea about this?
Cool. Yeah I know a real race band the gyros but do they also ban them in club races? When I was a Race Director steering gyros were just getting out there so I didn’t have any issues. This radio works extremely well.
Exocaged RC if the club runs their races under ROAR rules, then yes the rule wins, if they don't follow roar rules then I guess they don't apply, it's up to the owner of the club, but I believe most follow the rule just to keep everything even on the battle field. 🏁
We ran according to roar but weren’t sanctioned. We also had a few classes of our own. The hobbyshop we were behind sold the whole place so we lost the track. I miss that place.
It's a shame rc tracks just can't seem to catch hold and make money anywhere it seems. There are two tracks where I live one is off road indoor and the other is oval dirt track. I race the oval track because it is closer but still around 50 mile drive.$10.00 fee. The other tracks are 60 to 100 miles.and charge like $20.00 per class. All the local tracks closed. Got to be rich already to open a track just for the fun of it I guess.
@@nsvaluto48328 you gotta find the spot that works best for your vehicle, if its over correcting it will cause a speed wobble, so you turn it down to just below the speed wobble and that gets you close to where you need to be. I'm assuming its the same with boats but I've never run a gyro in a boat
Both are about the same price, the gt5 has 6 channels, futaba has 3. GT5 has a steering gyro with very nice features, the futaba doesn't. Futaba is always a great choice and the 3pv is stable and probably gets more distance than the gt5. Hope that helps.
Exocaged RC thank you for the feedback... I heard flysky got some sloppy steering and not very linear response... Does this apply on gt5 or only did on gt3 ?
I think you are referring to Latency, the GT5 is faster than the GT3c and I think its very close to the 3pv. Latency is the time it takes for your input at the radio to end up at the vehicle. So far I like the GT5 and have it in 4 different vehicles.

There is a mix you can adjust to set the throttle into the steering gyro if you want. I don’t use that feature in any of my trucks.

If you’ve tried two different radios, the only common thing here is the esc so if you have a spare esc, see if you can make that work
Happened to me too. I still had my bind plug in the receiver which is why it didn't work, once I took it out it worked.
I think the ABS is maybe for drifters. Not sure though.

yeah it has some nice features but it's kind of a let down for the crawler guys, once you spend some time with the hacked radio its not so bad, but yeah they can be a real problem trying to learn them.
Exocaged RC Yes, unfortunately you are correct in regards to the Gt3B hacked version. As I wrote above, I'm looking into the new Radiolink RC6GS radio and looking at the manual it seems much more programmable (mixing options) over the GT5. Where the GT5 SHINES over the RC6GS is in the gyro implementation but I wouldn't personally have use for a gyro in my crawler. Still leaning towards a 7PX but I'm just looking at what's out there at the moment.
yeah, most of the local guys use the hacked gt3c because of price, I'm interested in the Futaba 7px but does it have momentary 3 pos switch for a winch? I have never messed with a Radiolink radio.
Exocaged RC The Futaba 7px does not have a physical or typical 3 way switch. What Futaba radio allows you to do is to program one of the 6 trim tabs for "3 way output" which will function just like a 3 way switch. You could technically run a front and rear winch on separate channels...not that one would. This is the way it Futaba has done things going back to at least the 4PK radio. I really like the Futaba in depth programmability on their flagship models.
xXG.L.HXx so no momentary. My winches are almost walking speed fast so momentary is a must have for my trucks.
? i have a e revo 2.0 it has two servos and i just got th FS-gt5 what channels on the receiver should i use
you'll have to use one of those servo splitter adapters or just get a better servo and run that without a second one in there.
I have one and it says up to 8.4v input but if I go above 6v on my esc’s bec it throws a radio glitch code
Redcat is the US distributor
So is HobbyKing..
And all one handed..lol. Great radio seems like it?
Cool Crawlin RC I.n.c. LoL yeah I’m getting pretty good driving one handed.
i just turned on my new gt5, I got the fs-bs6 receiver. On the radio when I go to svc is says "SVC function not support!" and of course I cant play with any of the svc features. Any idea about this?
got it, I re binded it and it now works!!!
ok cool I just learned something. I had no idea what to tell you other than return it.
Can you add steering and throttle speed with new firmware
There’s a new firmware update?
Abs is only used for gas vehicle, with a brake servo. 👍 gyros are illegal in sanction racing 👎
Cool. Yeah I know a real race band the gyros but do they also ban them in club races? When I was a Race Director steering gyros were just getting out there so I didn’t have any issues. This radio works extremely well.
Exocaged RC if the club runs their races under ROAR rules, then yes the rule wins, if they don't follow roar rules then I guess they don't apply, it's up to the owner of the club, but I believe most follow the rule just to keep everything even on the battle field. 🏁
We ran according to roar but weren’t sanctioned. We also had a few classes of our own. The hobbyshop we were behind sold the whole place so we lost the track. I miss that place.
It's a shame rc tracks just can't seem to catch hold and make money anywhere it seems. There are two tracks where I live one is off road indoor and the other is oval dirt track. I race the oval track because it is closer but still around 50 mile drive.$10.00 fee. The other tracks are 60 to 100 miles.and charge like $20.00 per class. All the local tracks closed. Got to be rich already to open a track just for the fun of it I guess.
Can we use that FS-GR3E 3ch rx with this transmitter?
I've tried a few different receivers with it and no they didn't work
What recommend for st gain
depends on your servo and vehicle start at 50 and adjust from there. If it speed wobbles turn it down.
If I lost control of my boat or very little response do I turn gain up more then 50%?
@@nsvaluto48328 if the boat wobbles, turn the gain down.
Wow didn’t expect that lower gain smooths it out
@@nsvaluto48328 you gotta find the spot that works best for your vehicle, if its over correcting it will cause a speed wobble, so you turn it down to just below the speed wobble and that gets you close to where you need to be. I'm assuming its the same with boats but I've never run a gyro in a boat
Thanks for not showing where the power button is ?
LOL seriously? you can't find the on/off button?
Exocaged RC i dont have one yet but cant uderstand why you didnt show how to turn it on ?. Is that asking to much ?.
the on off switch is really easy to find on this radio, if it had a procedure to boot up or anything like that I would have shown it.
@@AustinPetDetective Seriously?
This isnt an 'RC channel for dummies' dude.
@@paulhope3401 Really I wouldn't call where the power switch is located something for dummies ?.
I'm in a dilemma... either to pick this fs-gt5 or the futaba 3pv.... anyone can give me some guide?
Both are about the same price, the gt5 has 6 channels, futaba has 3. GT5 has a steering gyro with very nice features, the futaba doesn't. Futaba is always a great choice and the 3pv is stable and probably gets more distance than the gt5. Hope that helps.

Exocaged RC thank you for the feedback... I heard flysky got some sloppy steering and not very linear response... Does this apply on gt5 or only did on gt3 ?
I think you are referring to Latency, the GT5 is faster than the GT3c and I think its very close to the 3pv. Latency is the time it takes for your input at the radio to end up at the vehicle. So far I like the GT5 and have it in 4 different vehicles.
F#*" Jax recycle and repair. Not a good business man, I live in Florida, so I know SEAN LARMOND who runs Jax recycle out of his garage. Second abs brakes is used for drag racing and speed runs. Hard braking will strip your drivetrain...the abs helps ease the strain. remember I warned you all stay away from Jax recycle. Aka SEAN LARMOND.
I go by his place a few times a week buying and trading, he runs RC's with us and is a good guy, not sure what your issue was but I'm sure its not normal.
@@ExocagedRC so it's harder for him to screw u. He had my brothers vehicle over a year, when he got not back finally after threats alot of parts were swapped. I have had 2 bad deals with him. I thought he was str8 at first. I hope u don't ever have any problems with him..I'm just warning. His name is not good outside of jax.
wow ok, he sponsors my events, we bash and have dinner and are good friends for the most part, I've seen him go above and beyond in person before.
Ok, Mr Medina or whatever your real name is. Lets shed a little more light on this. Becuase obviously when you wrote this you knew I would see it. So I am calling you out on your accusation and saying your a liar and you dont know what your talking about. Please enlighten me on what car I had for a year and swapped out parts without a customer knowing and that they had to threaten me to get it back....yeah I pretty sure everybody else wants to know also
