I bought a radio link for one car that I needed to TXRX for and now I'm converting everything else I own over to it. It's simple, effective, the receivers are cheap and everything just works. The only thing I don't like is the antenna but I'm in the process of swapping that over to a stubby. It's going to reduce the range a little bit but the thing has such good range that is not going to matter
I’m impressed for the money, with the radio link. Has a lot of features to customise your car response and feel etc…. I like the look of the high end fly sky stuff seems a bit overkill unless you are a solid RC racer
You were talking about Traxxas the next one you need to buy is the Minimaxx 4s and put the wide kit on it I would say it is the toughest RC out of the Box I've used and I'm 51 years old 🤣 i usually jump it 30-40 foot in the air and I'm not a pro haha and have had several bad Landings LOL and I have never broke nothing yet🤞😁
Great comparison and information! I use a lot of different remotes. I can’t use the stock XMAXX Remote I use a dumbo, it is amazing! I need to be able to turn down the power. At 50% tires explode. But I use the traxxas on my Arrma Typhon. I haven’t had good luck with the flysky. It never keeps the calibrations, always fighting it. 👍💯
I really like the old weird looking tactic transmitters Arrma used to package with their cars, second to that the hpi I forgot the number but it really isn't half bad. Imo for an rtr transmitter I think the kyosho sychro is the best overall. As for cheap aftermarket I've had great luck with flysky's old GT3B my only complaint is the cheap feel and it needs 8 aa's but for the price you cant expect anything amazing. I just bought a new g7p so I'll be seeing how that one works.
@@BarstoneRC did you soak it in rice? I have submarined at least four of them on my crawlers with no problems. Slight side effects directly after until I did the rice soak for a few days, been using them for at least a year plus since then.
to someone who can't afford any of those fancy pants radios the GT3B is a far cut above any RTR radio's i've ever seen and in the five plus years i've been using my GT3B my cars have alway turned, started and stopped when i've wanted them to so can't speak to the kind of delay you referenced. as for the GT3B's extra weight, while i concede it does weigh more with the extra batteries, it's not enough more that it should bother an average adult. The only real complaint about the GT3B is the abysmal battery life but once you do the $2 voltage regulator mod the GT3B's battery replacement interval goes from once every couple weeks to once every 6 months of more which is perfectly acceptable to me. We poor people are used to having to make less be more so to that end the GT3B fits perfectly, it's a good poor persons radio......
Well it’s not just about the price point and the only issue I really had with that. Radio was the delay but it’s like most things if you’re used to it and you don’t know what other controllers are like you don’t notice it and I also might have had a flood radio because I had many different issues with it but I liked the feel of the radio.
Dumbo is great for the money, lol I have 6 of them and seem to work better than any spectrum system I’ve had. Id like to use just 1 controller like most people but my family always goes out with me so not ideal.
Exactly the video I was looking for. I actually picked out the Flysky FS-GT5 and the RadioLink RC6GS V2 for my new RYFT. Well, Your great video was very timely...So I am ordering the RadioLink. Thank You so much for helping me make a informed decision.
I bought a DX5C and never used it, ended up giving it to my brother because at the time the DX5 Rugged Orange body was released and got it. Most of my traxxas RCs still use the transmitters they came with. All my Losi's and Arrma are linked to my DX5 Rugged. I still use the DX2e with my boat. Ive got a whole tub filled with the original transmitters. I should sell them. As far as what you said about having all the RCs on one transmitters and the transmitter breaking, i never thought about that. Lol. I only had 1 transmitter fail on me and that was the Traxxas TQi linked to my Revo 3.3. Ive only used Spektrum and Traxxas transmitters. Even have a Spektrum DX8 G2 for my planes.
Honestly love my GT3B, super quick response time (for me at least), never caused a crash for me, and I actually use it in a 2wd race buggy, it's a big boy though. Eventually I will change my race buggy for a futaba, but the gt3b will always be my basher radio lol
Thanks for making this video. I'm currently looking to upgrade my transmitter. I'm looking at both the Radiolink RC6 and the Spectrum DX5c. Is the Radiolink good for bashing?
Quite a radio collection there brother. I have quite a bit myself LoL 🤣. Tactic TTX300 was the best RTR radio I've ever used. Still have a couple for back up. STX2 has gotta be the worst of them all LoL 🤣. I have been very happy with my Radiolink RC6GS V1 and V2. Just recently got the futaba 4pm to try.
Great review 👍 I'm actually looking for a new transmitter for the 6s Exb. Currently use the Dumborc but it can make my cars drive away sometimes. Will check out that Spektrum DX5
Question: will the flysky receivers bind to the radio link remote? Wife has that fly sky remote and thinking of switching to a better remote. Trying to find one that binds to flysky receiver's? Thanks hope to hear from you.
I wonder if the new 10 model dumbo is a winner..i have flysky..never new it had bad reponse time..i ran many boats and cars on it over the years always seemed very fast and solid..i also did away with the 8 batteries over 12 years ago and use 3s lipo to power..
Interesting video. The tactic two stick receivers were in my rcs a few years ago & they were junk, (trying not to swear) They seemed to die every two years and make the rcs run wild, which stunk because me being in a wheelchair, I couldn't fetch the truck, unless it hit a house or whatever. The guy who totaled the stampede told me about the fly sky two stick transmitter combo, which is in ALL my cars now. So fair so good. I've have all of em set to that one, making bloody sure the failsafe is active cause I don't wanna be going down my street on my chair's fastest speed, chasing the rc!
I cant understand the money grab with spektrum why cant the dx3 bind multiple cars like the Traxxas tqi? If you want to update the dx5 its a 25 dollar cable!! I tried the dumbo might be good for dirt and bashing but I cant get it to stay straight to save my life the trim goes too far one way or another it is backwards too right goes left vice versa and the gyro has too much wag not good for speed runs

Thanks alot for this video, nice mancave with rc stuff! I will probably got for the Dumborc controller, i was close to pull the trigger on the flysky gt5. But Dumborc is cheaper and better to start with a easy cheap that works. def a sub from me. will think of you when i hopefully renovate my Top Force 1991 Tamiya and drive it for the first time with the dumborc controller!
Will try to get one at the best place, looking out for where most order from(within EU) get so expensive with all tax and shit from outside EU@@BarstoneRC
big fan of the flysky fs-gt5, you need to buy a decent receiver though. the 3 channel ones suck, the 6 channel ones work great though, I think its fs-bs6.
Nice comparison. My fav stock Arrma one is def Tactic TTX300, simple and trusty. Traxxas TQI works fine plus it got the extra features with BT. Spectrum DX5C, robust but a bit clumpsy and fiddly menus. My top fav since a while back, Flysky Noble NB4, wow, just perfect, if you get a chance, try it out !
For what is tha connector came whit the controller the 2 yellow connector ?? I confused because I Want to use QS8 connector on my xlx2 and battery soo how I goin to use this 🤷♂️🤔 no comprende 😂😂😂 Maestro
used my gt5 radio to the point it start to give up on me and got a futaba 3pv for the same price as the gt5 costs and in hindesight i should had gone for a futaba 3pv from the start as i dont use more then 2ch and no gyro eather way. the response and exact feel of steering and throttle input on the futaba 3pv is not hard to notice compared to a flysky gt5 that in my opinion is not a bad radio for most people but it got its limit in terms of exact inputs and response time as im using it in a race byggy. the gt5 feels as the video state with the gt3 radio it caused a lot of bad crashes due to the radio cant keep up with faster cars but the good thing for gt5 radio is crawling and other slower forms of rc cars thar need alot of chanals as it got 6 of em.
Ok video but was unbearable to watch based on terminology. It's a transmitter not a remote! Remotes typically work on infrared and transmitters on a Radio signal hence the term R/C. Clear up your terminology and there was some good info relayed.

Good info , and agree with your choices, I also run the radiolink in my Lim! And after the last crash questioning the gyro ! 😂
Yeah I’m done with the gyro man. Noooo way
Back up radio. That's what I did with that DX5C, bought two of them😁
-this radio saves servos (endpoints) and made me a better driver.
Yeah I’ve been really happy with the remote it’s been holding up great I like the feel of it overall very happy with it
Great info Bars!! I only have ever used the rtr remotes. But someday!!!!
Thanks bud

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of good things about those trucks and seen them take a pretty good beating
I got the Radiolink RC6GS v2 & I dig the controller to be honest. Nice Reviews, I wouldn't rate them any different 💯👍Salute

whats your opinion on the Radiolink RC4GS V3 5 Channel. is it as good as the Radiolink RC6GS V3?
I’m not really familiar with that radio so I can’t speak on that

I have a question on a arrma typhon 6s.. are the wing mounts the same on the regular typhon 6s and the tlr
I don't have the Typhon TLR to compare to but I would think they are,
Radio link is my favorite. Been using that one for about 3-4 years now it’s been great! Used on my crawlers drift cars bashers everything.
Yeah I really like that controller it was a shame the receiver burned up so quickly

Which one has faster response, GT5 or RC6GS V2?
I like the GT5
I bought a DX5C and never used it, ended up giving it to my brother because at the time the DX5 Rugged Orange body was released and got it.

I would have got the rugged but my phone and camera mount would not work on the transmitter it’s pretty much the only reason I didn’t get it
Thanks for your reviews. I'm still going to get the Radiolink 6ch one day but my DumboRC 6ch is doing just fine as of now. 😀👍
The Dumbo is a great controller I like mine.

I’d be willing to bet the one you said you can’t remember that didn’t bind up to the dx5c was the typhon 3s.
It might have been.
Been looking at DX5C. You mentioned some kind of phone mount your using. Can you give link to it or comment on it. Like to get one also.
