Thanks for introducing the Radiolink. I have the 7 channel and am still trying to figure out all the functions! Your video just gave me a heads up on how to configure some of my channels
It an awesome radio, I've been in the game since way before pistol grips were even a thing , This hobby has come so far in 50 years , it's like a completely different world. 😎👍🇺🇸
What? You didn't absolutely love using crystals? That was fun man! And to make it even better the industry only used a couple popular frequencies in the radios. Glad those days are gone..
@@americandeadhead5025 for sure nothing sweeter than being in the middle of a race and have someone in the pits power up their radio and make your car lose its mind an go off into the wall , good times 😬👎
Great video I've been waiting to see a review on it. That color screen is amazing it looks like it is smooth as a cell phone. I have a Wflyx9 transmitter which has most of those functions accept the FPV.
I like the radio link products they are used in my 3-D printer rc It I like the trigger feeling ever since I started getting into crawlers I thought their TX would be great for crawlers
if you don’t use crab steer as much, there is a way you can set crab steer to one specific button that way you only have to cycle through front steer and AWS. you can do all this and still have independent control on the rear at all times.
Great radio, but 4 channel micro receiver is only capable of pushing 6V. That eliminates a higher rated BEC and getting the full potential from a majority of the aftermarket servos that are able to handle 8.4V. I reached out to Radiolink to see if they could release a 4 channel micro receiver that can handle more volts. Until then, I have to stick with my Flysky GT5 or Furitek Avatar or decase their existing 6 channel. It would also be great to see someone come to market with a 2 channel micro receiver (90% of my rigs only use 2 channels). Would be awesome to have the option!
@@CapeCrawlers its underwhelming honestly. although probably good for the price. you get most of the aux mixing and trimming and whatnot that your radiolink has, but its clunky as hell to use. After your review of this, I'm kinda bummed I bought my way into the DX5-and-associated-receivers a while ago. Cool review! I'm jealous!
Thank you for the in depth review. Can those micro receivers handle 8.4V to the servos? I have gone through two receivers, and the only thing I can attribute it to is selecting 8.4V to the servo in the Furicar app.
@CapeCrawlers I keep a few 2000 mHh 2s lipos handy. Yet to find a 3s available that will fit. My suggestions for Radiolink. Increase battery compartment size. Add ability to charge battery through the radio. Add a mount point on radio for fpv. The one is neat, but to small a screen and to low resolution for all purposes.
I found out that the ports are moved to the other side when the wheel is moved over so it will still have the ports instead of block them with the wheel. th-cam.com/video/aMAmf3u_P-w/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUtaG93IHRvIGNoYW5nZSB0aGUgd2hlZWwgb2YgdGhlIHJhZGlvbGluayByYzh4@@CapeCrawlers
As a live long RC'er, sorry, but there is NO WAY on Earth you would ever use a surface radio for aircraft of any sort, you'd definitely be sitting and waiting for crashes all the time.
That's a cool controller. A soft touch rubber might be nice. The radios still look like ones clear back to the late 80's and 90's. Same cheesy plastic. Can you create a slow crawl electronically like you get with the Furitek stuff? And have you tried using the two different underdrive gears for the scx24? One available is a 50% underdrive. Thanks for the great video
I agree with the soft touch instead of copious amounts of plastic. I've tried the 33% underdrive and like them a lot. Have not tried 50%. That would be craaazzzyyy slow!

I just bought the RC6GS v3 for my micro crawlers. Love the size of the R4F receiver for my rigs. Receivers are cheap too
I love the little R4F receivers! So tiny
Thanks for the review. Been shopping and researching for a new radio myself. So many to choose from.
Tons of options!
It an awesome radio, I've been in the game since way before pistol grips were even a thing ,
This hobby has come so far in 50 years , it's like a completely different world.
😎👍🇺🇸
Tech for days in this thing!

WOW! Impressive radio. That is very cool looking as well. I have the Futaba one, I wish I knew about this one.
Futaba's are very nice!
I have the Radiolink RC6GS V3 and I love it.
Awesome radio. I really like the split screen and 1st person viewing. 👍👍
Super cool feature! I wish I had something to test it out on.
Will be interested in a long term review. I have not heard of this radio before but it looks awesome
I will certainly report back a few months down the road

Its fast and smooth, nearly smartphone speed but a little less responsive
yahoo, omg!great shots~ ;)

It’s great, super smooth. I logged a couple hours on it today and it felt great

That’s a great idea
Crawler perspective FPV! I wanna see hells gate from the cab of the deadbolt :D
Great idea!

I use the DX5 C transmitter radio for most of my 10 scale rigs, hook up multiple rigs onto it, gets me around for the most part.
I’ve heard great things about the dx5
@@CapeCrawlers should try it.

I’m still using my dx5c. This is impressive
Nothing wrong with that setup!
Sure great radio and all but can we just talk about the aluminum panel cage buggy dang sooo distracted have to watch this again 🤔
Haha! I will have that video up this weekend!
@@CapeCrawlers kewl
You try and fly a plane with that and I want to see the video.
Me flying a plane with any transmitter would be a sight to see LOL But yes, I see what you're saying.
Been loving mine for the last five months. I have yet to find anything its not good for on the ground.
Completely replaced my DX5 pro.
It's amazing! My only complaint thus far is the battery life.
@CapeCrawlers I keep a few 2000 mHh 2s lipos handy. Yet to find a 3s available that will fit.
My suggestions for Radiolink. Increase battery compartment size. Add ability to charge battery through the radio. Add a mount point on radio for fpv. The one is neat, but to small a screen and to low resolution for all purposes.
Remember your 58mm shocks that are on your jeep gladiator with such long travel would they fight on the Traxxas ford bronco 1/18 scale
Yep! It just takes some work to get them to fit. I had to remove the pivot hardware and just let the shocks pivot on the bolts.
My goodness 320.00, it is a high price tag but really nice a must say. 👍👍👍👍
Expensive for sure. You have to be seriously invested in the hobby to pull the trigger on one of these
@@CapeCrawlers definitely. Great review btw.
So you can use this one radio for all your cars correct , or at least the ones you want it in ? As long as they have the compatible ESC , right ?
Yes, correct. Up to 200 models as long as you use the compatible receiver.
Does it have the same ports on the right as it does on the left? I am a southpaw and know the controls can be switched.
It does not. Ports are only on one side
I found out that the ports are moved to the other side when the wheel is moved over so it will still have the ports instead of block them with the wheel. th-cam.com/video/aMAmf3u_P-w/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUtaG93IHRvIGNoYW5nZSB0aGUgd2hlZWwgb2YgdGhlIHJhZGlvbGluayByYzh4@@CapeCrawlers
Kinda not relative but would the suspension setup on the Trx4m bronco fit on the defender version
Sure!
@@CapeCrawlers also do you use 3d printed shock mounts or bought? Great view demo though
