Nice!!! I had been on the fence about getting a nice futaba. Heck, almost got one before grabbing the radiolink rc6gs v2. But I figured I give radiolink 1 more shot, specially at the $ lol. Here's what I found between the two, the rc4gs and the rc6gs, the range difference wasn't much, just a tad better on the rc6gs, just under 4k FT round trip with the rc4gs to just over 4K FT round trip with the rc6gs. The response time at long range was also improved on the rc6gs. But both controllers at the 4K Ft round trip were getting wonky on the steering due to delayed response at them long ranges. And that's all without a range extender of course. Once I added the extender to the rc6gs, it was a game changer, now I can get to ~5400FT (as far as I can see lol) round trip with no issues. But I can't wait to see how the futaba does with the extender as far as response time. Because I still feel like the futaba will outperform the radiolink in that field.
Ya buddy and to be honest I’ve ran into so many problems lately and not for nothin but just simply tired of wondering how much better it is😂…. What is the actual difference In drivability? Ya know? And this radio isn’t exactly expensive, and with a booster it’s gonna work great I think! But we’ll see! Thanks buddy!👊👍👍 the little bit of driving I did today there was a night and day difference in response and drivability!
I started out with the 3pv boosted but prefer the 4px. Both with the dual antenna receivers. Futaba receivers are expensive. I’ve tried the Radiolink Rc8x and love it but find it to complicated for speed running. To many buttons to accidentally press. I’ve pre ordered the mew Radiomaster mt12 Elrs no boosters needed. Can’t wait for spring.
Great range for a futaba at that price point. I wanted to go with a futaba before getting my radiolink, but those prices on them futaba's are pretty crazy.
Copy that buddy! They get crazy with there prices, just have to see how different or better it actually is for myself to stop all the wondering 😂 for this price if the difference is there than it’s all worth it! But only one way of finding that out😂 Thanks buddy👊👍👍
@@mitchellminer4596 Traxxas ESC/Leopard motor in my sledge. I actually got the throttle to work but its reversed now. So I need to figure out how to reverse it like ur saying. Remote is a little confusing
@@G35Jeesh yeah took me a min too but you’ll get it, turn radio on click over until you get to REV then click to channel 2 and reverse it with the button in the middle that has the +\- and should get ya going right direction, traxxas esc is a castle and does have to be reversed in futaba’s then be sure to re-calibrate esc to radio👊
@@mitchellminer4596 Right on.. just thinking a radio based for aircraft should have good range. They have radios suited to cars so maybe that's worth a shot for me.
@@scaleworksRC theory is correct, I’d say essentially it would come down to 2 things , if it gets the job done and personal preference. I’ve heard 50/50 some guys like them some don’t . Regardless of range the radio has can usually always be fixed with a booster. But ya just have to look into how it could be done with a Flysky.
@@mitchellminer4596 Beyond RC just posted a video of Radiomaster's new jam and it looks like the right ticket. About $140 and has 1k signal range for speed runners. Also binds to all kinds of receivers!
Nice review on the range test.
Thanks Joe!!👍👍👍

Nice👍
Thanks buddy👊👍👍
I'll have to add one to my list of things to get, once I find a long enough road. Awesome video as usual!
Thanks buddy!👊👍👍 nice radio for sure, and other than receivers the price isn’t too bad!
Cool video bud 👍 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks buddy!👊👍👍
wow really kool video bud
Thanks bud!👊👍👍
Thanks for the info! Hopefully I have a car that needs a booster one day lol
Thanks buddy 👍👍You will!
Futaba all the way for me brother, great testing
Thanks Jack! It’s been over 15 yrs since I’ve purchased my first futaba😂 it’s about time

Copy that buddy ,good stuff! I'm liking it so far, big difference from the RL but ya it's freezing now tough to do any running 😂
A good place to do this would be the drag strip or something like that not near anyone or wifi.
Thanks Durp👊👍👍
Nice radio it has to do better with the antenna sticking out of the car as high as you can get it
Yeah buddy, thanks bro Kurt!👊👍👍

Got a 3pv for christmas and feel bad I can't get it to work. Steering works fine but can't get the throttle to do shit.
Try reversing the throttle in the radio, are you using castle system?

@@mitchellminer4596 Wow thanks man it all makes sense now after reading that. I was trying to reverse them a way different way. Thanks so much dude
@@G35Jeesh no problem buddy let me know if works man👊👍👍
The fpv3 range is terrible booster asap lol
Thanks Ghost 👊👍👍
Is Flysky a good option?
A lot of guys use them I believe, but I personally have never used one, so I would not be able to say exactly I know nothing about them
