Well considering it's actually $18 for a Radiolink RX with Gyro & $16 for a Radiolink RX without Gyro on Amazon.... you aren't paying much of a penalty for the extra feature. Or save the two bucks and buy them without if you don't care.Good point. $20 a piece for receivers is reasonable of course, but I don't like paying for features I have no desire or need for. Same goes for the channels. Seems like all these companies are trying to one up each other by adding more and more channels to these things. I realize I'm the minority but, who needs 8 channels in a ground rc? TBH, I need 2. That's it.
What are your PB speeds, how far do you run??? Its quite easy to hit 1200ft doing 100+mph Speed passes. What my Performance Analyzer shows at least.
Yeah, some of them are fugly..GT3b being one of the most fugly. It works, I can't complain.
If we go slowboat from AliEx, prices are dirt cheap. The RC4GS can be had for like $45, with R6FG receiver..receivers are around $7 for non gyro, $10 with.. that's pretty darned good! Sure there are even better deals on AliEx but I'm not privy with their site. Seems the non gyro receivers are sold out too.
Indeed, that's impressive that an LHS is offering all those. Must be owned/operated by young blood. Nice.Must be a good LHS. They have much to offer.
Most LHS's, if any, near me don't have that all in stock. They will order it, but I can do the same from my home and have it delivered to my door. Good to support a decent and caring LHS.
Many are not. They simply push what they want to sell you. Often discrediting what you ask for. Like they know best. Been there.
Sometimes best to buy some RC things from Online with recommendations from actual users here on AF.
You just need more confidence with this hobby, to know what you want and actually need, and it will all click for you.
I'm currently sub 100mph with a 1400ft stretch of road, iirc. Haven't seemed to have any issues with latency. I did many slow passes at the far end of the stretch to validate connectivity before attempting full speed passes at my speed range. Eventually i'll get to 100 with this platform. But for sure if I get into serious speed running, i don't intend to stand by the GT5 as the go to option for doing high speed passes
You really need three. And, as for gyro, if you decide to get the Radiolink get the dual antenna gyro receiver!! Even if you don’t want a gyro. And just for grins, enable the gyro, reduce the gain to around 15%, and tell me you don’t love it…Good point. $20 a piece for receivers is reasonable of course, but I don't like paying for features I have no desire or need for. Same goes for the channels. Seems like all these companies are trying to one up each other by adding more and more channels to these things. I realize I'm the minority but, who needs 8 channels in a ground rc? TBH, I need 2. That's it.
Yes.
I agree, Radiolink is cheap looking and cheap feeling. They just work great. As for the receivers, get the dual antenna gyro receivers, again, even if you never enable the gyro. As mentioned, they are disabled by default.
I suppose 3 channel is a good minimum for fan connections. What will I gain from the gyro at 15%?
RC4 GS works also. You don't need so many extra channels for surface RC'ing.
The gyro helps you stay on track even at a low setting.... set it too high and you will start gaining unwanted control and/or the servo starts getting twitchy as it tries to correct for everything. I would say definitely don't go over about 30% with the Radiolink. Not sure about other brands.
Nice, that thing looks sharp
Yeah it does!
