Looks like the holy grail of transmitters for ground RC. 😃👍
I'll bet your tea went cold. I think I'll be ordering one
Man! What a radio. Would be awesome for a truck with hydraulics all the way to excavators and cranes. Gotta have one someday.
Thanks for the first look, I've been needing something like this for my scale boats.
Thank you Bob，Nice Video👍
Great radio and great review from your old pal Jason in Granite Falls.
AWESOME video, Bob! I've only been able to watch about half of it, as I have to get to bed so I can wake for work in the morning. This WILL be the first video I watch as soon as I walk in teh door tomorrow evening!
Great video, can't wait to see more on this. Glued to this channel!
Looks amazing Bob...
Looking sharp.👍
hoping to see set up & use soon.looks agame changer for our trucks & that
Awesome radio 👍
Looks good Bob, another great review
Thanks again Bob for the video i cant wait to get one !!
It is an amazing radio. More videos on it soon.
Nice review, thanks.
Oh boy, I want one!!!
When I got my Flysky FS-i10 and it came with two speed sensors and a temp sensor. I would think in tanks or tow trucks the temp sensor on the motor or motors would be a handy thing to keep track of if you really work the models. This does look like a really nice surface radio with a lot of channels and features.
Wow !! amazing....
Rádio muito top parabéns
Going from a Fly Sky I6S to this takes some getting used too
I was thinkin bout goin pro. I like to build and fly models.
Bob your a legend bud!!
Was your Dozer video that got me to buy one
Now I have the 970 with this controller, couldn't figure out how to get it to English
First thought was has Bob got a video on it, thanks again Bob 👍
Thanks for showing this radio so well. Would of been nice to have the camera zoomed in more to see screen. Still a great review
As promised, This was the FIRST video I watched when I walked in teh door tonight! I'm excited for this radio to become available for sale. HOPEFULLLY it's affordably priced. I'm so tired of having to work around a radio that was designed for airplanes, & figure out how to make it properly work our surface vehicles!
I like their tray system they came up with for the radio! Too often the tray systems flop around too much to be of much use.
The voice confirmation for binding is neat! Too often with the Spektrum radios you have to try to operate a model, only to find out that teh bind was unsuccessful.
Have they let you know an ETA for when this radio might be available for us to acquire?
I’m excited I got me the ultimate one with a metal case
I will have more videos up soon including some specific programming videos.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC thank you Bob love your videos I learned a lot. Keep up the good work 👍.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC and there are two buttons up and down on top of the Gimbals don’t forget 👍
Awesome radio! I'm going to get one for excavator
Best excavator radio for sure!
That's bloody AMAZING!!!
Even if its only feature was not showing an AIRPLANE on the screen. 😖
But this is obviously much more than that! I can't see it, for how I use my Trucks...
But if I ever get Construction Equipment - this is IT.
Bob... Do you have a Globe Liner IN STOCK?? I'm having a devil of a time.
I'll buy it TONIGHT if you've got one!! 😊
The radio is truly awesome. Yes I have Globe Liners in stock.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC OK, I'm keeping my word...
I have this exact remote and dozer.. Do you have a video of how you setup the receiver and config it like you stated in this video?
Bob, love the video, is the controller S bus capable?
Love your videos! I just recieved my PL18 (none EV version) and should be receiving my EV version in a few weeks! Quick question, have you found a way to change the channel names or create a custom model profile. I design animatronics and would love to change the channel names or even just have them default to there numbers instead of the plane or construction names. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Bob will you by chance be carrying these on your site?
I saw this on banggood the other day and oh boy I drooled.. I want the flagship version, wait till august. And yeah 1st no, 2nd no, 3rd day of august bought it. Now today I have it in my hands HOLY crap it's nice AF. Quickly I looked for charge port but didn't see any port oh yeah wireless and I put it on my vertical phone charger. It worked = mind blown. Than later I found the wireless charger that it came with🤣(and keep mopping that drool)
Yep! Pretty much my experience!
Have you ever thought about weathering your bulldozer and how about a tour of all your personal RC sometime
Question. You show that you can assign dualrate to any switch, but do you get dualrate on the sticks only or can you set up any switch/ channel for dualrate?
As an exampel, on Beier sfr-1, prop #4 is assigned on a 3 position switch. On many radios i have set up to day, you are not able to use dualrates on these switches, they will only trow 100 - 0 -100 %, so you can only get 2 to 4 functions. If i could use dualrate on that 3 position switch, i could get up to 8 functions. The current truck i was helping out on had all channels oqupied, and the stick were the only ones that get dualrate, but had driving and hydrauliks set up on them and my friend did not want to mess up the mix and change them.
looks like this radio will be good on earth mover 870k 👍
Would be fantastic!
@@HobbyconceptsLLC hey bud how you doing i watching your wonderful channal sometimes even you have excellent explane in everything so i hope 2see how to programe this radio on dozer step by step in next video. thx dude have a good day😉
Would love to see it set up from start to finish with the 360L excavator!
Actually coming soon!
@@HobbyconceptsLLC That's great! All the way from binding the receiver to all set up functions would be so helpful. And if it is worth using over stock radio.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Do you think the PL 18EV will be a worthwhile upgrade for 360L? Not sure how many other functions are needed maybe pump on a dial to play adjust speed from radio?
Please let me know when the PL18EV RADIO is in stock . 🙂👍
Will other 2.4GHZ flysky receivers work with it?
Please do a video of how to setup the Bulldozer with this Paladin PL18EV Remote.. I have both and having some issues with it
I will be doing a track mixing video very soon on that.
I have on my cart the “ older “ model , but I’m totally sold on this new version. Will you have it soon available on your web Bob?
Thank you for sharing as always.
Wait for the EV model. Should be back up on the link in a few days.
Very informative! Can you make a video on channel expanding to 18 channels?
Planning that soon.
Bob, your videos are very informative, thank you!
Does your shop ship to Canada?
Wow! Wonderful video Mr. Bob! As always, but what's the receiver voltage is??? And how much $$$$$$$$
Receivers use standard 5-6volts. Pricing is about $460 for base version and $600 for Flagship version with tray and aluminum case.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC I got lucky and got the ultimate version last week looks like it’s all sold out
@@HobbyconceptsLLC you mean to tell me! The receiver voltage is 5-6 volts?????? That's nothing.
Can you lower the main sticks at all? They seem a bit tall vs normal size radio controls?
The stick height is fixed.
Hi Bob, im new to the hobby. How many different models can this control. i.e. can you use this to control multiple vehicles to save having multiple controllers, for example if you have an excavator and lorry and tractor in your model room and switch between as you use them? Does that make sense? Thanks
Yes, it has a quick switch mode between 2 models (push of a button changes), and has memory to hold 20 different models
@@HobbyconceptsLLC ok so how does that work? Sorry as I say I’m new to it. So you can have two running and switch between them to use them, but it can control 20 others? How does that work?
I use a PL18 for all my rc planes, but I really want that "pallet" tray.. I've been looking for something like that for trh PL18 had no idea they flysky made one. where can I buy one?
Flysky will sell the tray later when they catch up. It does fit the standard PL18.
Love it. Any idea on the cost and when you'll be selling it? Also what's the max modal memory capacity? Thanks
thay are $500 on ebay mate. same as bobs got. .mate. u buy it from him in u.s.a dollas double it in a.u dollars
A couple of them and options on AliExpress. Various in pricing too, Standard or Ultimate Edition. Pricing various from 470$ to almost 660$, give or take on which one you want. Have to take into account shipping too. It gets pricey, but damn it’s tempting lol
Hi,
is it possible to switch models with the Paladin?
For example - a dump truck drives to the excavator and parks with the brakes on and the flashing light on - then I switch to the excavator to load the dumper - then I continue with the dumper....
This is the requirement for functional models and I am searching for a radio which can solve this. THX
Yes, the PL18 EV does it easily. Will demo in a future video.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Please do it in the next video, this is the crucial point for functional RC with different models!
@@RCbra It's a fine option for sure being able to switch models, letting one, or more, models go on 'idle'. I am interested in such a setup for my truck and excavator. On the other hand I see many hobby colleagues not so keen on this, but rather like to go for 1 (cheaper) radio for each model. In that way there is the possibility to have someone else drive that model. So there are different views here)
hello the battery of this radio paladin can be replaced ????

hello the battery of this radio paladin can be replaced ????
BTW Bob..... Sorry for so many separate orders! 😖 I kept forgetting things.
Lol I do the same thing
So am I able to run more then one model off this radio? So like say I am running my dozer and I wanta switch to my excavator, can I do that with this? Thanks in advance!!
Yes you can. If fact you can switch between models with the flick of a switch and not turn off the transmitter. Great for running a truck with say an excavator on it. Video here: th-cam.com/video/7o-hTSzKl_c/w-d-xo.html
@@HobbyconceptsLLC thank you for the response! That is really cool and nifty you can do that! I plan on getting one if I can do all that, quick question also, so how many models can I run off that single radio? Thanks again!
Looks like the price went up on the second batch of radios
They told me they missed a bit on the shipping estimates.
Does it operate 2 recivers at once?? Like the wireless lightset for truck and trailer
Not 2 at once but it does have a switching feature to quickly go between models.
The standard Paladin can run two 8 channel receivers in one way mode and one 18 channel receiver in two way mode. I would think that this would be the same.
@@MnPaul1 so you can bind 2 receivers at once for wireless trailer lights?
I bet that is going to be high dollar
Will be the cheapest on the market with 3D sticks. 500-600 usd or something
🔥👌❤👍
Is this an updated version of the existing Paladin?
No. The PL18 is designed for airplanes and quad copters and will still be available. This radio is DESIGNED for trucks, construction equipment, ships and robots and is well, amazing!
And another I own a trx6 snap-on hauler and spectrum DX6R land remote and I order a GT power mod can you please do video about Pistol grip TX
Probably will never do a pistol grip radio for a truck.
Wait. This is not for use with planes and gliders...??? Where do you get your information?
The PL18 EV is not for airplanes. Flysky makes a PL18 standard version (not EV) for airplanes etc.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Ah, OK, thanks for explaining.
It's the same product, but the lead doesn't work. It's not binding. Why is that?
Man, I want one so bad. So how’d you get your hands on this one if it’s a pre production product?
They are on alliexpress for sale.
@@backyardrcconstruction1058 Thanks. Checked it out. Man those prices though haha.
@@HiSteOfMnd tbh I think it's pretty reasonable, look at everything else on the market with 4d sticks, servonaut hs12 is nearly €1000 the scaleart commander is €1500 up to €4000 this will only really appeal to people really wanting 4d sticks as everything else about it while being good it's not that much of a benefit over the others avalable.
@@backyardrcconstruction1058 Awesome, thanks for your feedback.
Before this new one from Flysky, it was the FrSky Taranis with aftermarket 3D sticks that were the cheapest radio in this class. Many says FrSky radio programming and setup is great. Will be interesting to see how this new Flysky does compared to the FrSky radios
Do they sell these yet
The link should be active now. They keep selling out.
I just got my Radio and it looks like the Touchscreen doesn’t work.
It doesn’t respond at all
I did fully charge it before use.
Did anyone else have this issue
Make sure you remove the protective film that comes on the display screen.
Does it use open tx?
No.
That's a huge shame, opentx opens up so much more
Will it bind more than one receivers if so how many. I’m looking at wireless light set up with a b train trailers. What is the price
Will not bind 2 receivers. Just use a IR link. Lot of channels to spare.
Link does not work. Error 404. Can you please update with a working link?
it will work again 2-3 days later
So is it lik $1,000.00 or more?
$460 bobs version I got the ultimate with a flight case for 600$
@@goranb3062 gonna have to buy one then
Shame this radio is too expensive for most modelers. FlySky R&D prommised me a radio for truckers. this is just a re-hashed Paladin. Yes it is great for construction gear but too complicated for truckers.... maybe a simpler version will come out soon.
I have the standard PL18 also and this radio has superior programming and features for ground vehicles compared to the standard PL18. More videos including programming coming.
very expensive too bob. . TX16S mate. better then that thing
Now we just have to wait for jumper or radiomaster to make one that has a 4 in 1 module in it
How much?
Pricing is about $460 for base version and $600 for Flagship version with tray and aluminum case. This will be a very limited item to start with so if link shows out of stock just try in a few days.
Banggood: "This product has discontinued."
Will be back up soon. Limited quantities to start with.
$600? I'll pass.
Just buy a Scaleart then it’s only $3000
