In this video I go through how to install and setup your Flysky FS-GT5 radio and receiver, and demonstrate how the SVC compares when driving a 2WD truck on loose dirt. I'm pretty impressed with the FS-GT5 overall and it seems like a solid radio with some nice features at a reasonable price point.

This has been very helpful, especially for my first build. Your clarity and explanation of terms as you proceed are nice.
James Bassett very kind of you, glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for teaching how to configure and calibrate the gyroscope, I have had this receiver for years and I was not aware that it had that function
Yep, another well presented concise and precise clip. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Hey can't thank you enough for this got the beautiful RedCat Gen8 Axe.my second year in RC and was alittle out of my league But your video got my radio out and set up in 10 min.thanks brother.
This has helped me more than once. Thank you.
Useful video, thanks for sharing.
Good review mate. Spot on about the gyros. Excellent for 2wd.
Mixing it up a bit lately. 😎 Never thought I'd see you rocking Badlands and running a bmx track with stability control. 👌
Keep it up man. 👍
I know, right? Picked up a crawler too, hell must've frozen over! ☃️🔥🥶
Good video with some helpful tips. Thanks.
Very helpful video 👍Why does everybody but me have a cool BMX park near them except for me lol
Great video, well explained, thanks 👍
Thanks a ton mate 👌🏻it was a big help 😉
Omg man thanks so much the manual for it is so bloody uncoordinated, you just saved me so much money and crying😅
Very Helpful! Thank you
Hey bro cool vid man. I just got mine and am confused lol you said servo channel 1 and esc 2 but manual says esc channel 1? Also what is the fail safe set as stock on the rx bud? Does it cut out when you lose signal? Cheers bro
Hey first of thanks for all ur bids they r great. Secondly I was wondering if u have to do that calibration thing with the esc if it’s already binded/bond to the receiver. The manual doesn’t say anything about doing that calibration to the esc. Also if I made change on the transmitter and the RC model is off. Will it work when I do as long as it’s saved? Thanks
Excellent video!
You put the steering gain AND throttle gain at 45%?
I haven't messed with throttle gain, and you corrected yourself when saying it in the video. Can you clarify?
I'm new to all of this so this is helpful. Any advice on any of the other functions.
Thanks very helpful
Hello. Im a little on the "still learning" side of RC. Say I bought two new Arrma RTR RC trucks and I would like to use a different, higher end transmitter for both cars. What do I need to buy and how would I go about doing this? Obviously a transmitter. Do they normally come with a receiver that works with it or do I have to buy one and put it in? How do I know which one to get that will work with my transmitter? Once I have them installed, I then have to bind them correct? How would I be able to use the one controller for both cars? I know you have to get one that has this capability. But would I have to re bind the controller each time I wanted to swap between cars or will a good transmitter have the ability to select which car I would like to control? Sorry if that makes no sense lol. Im having a hard time researching this info around the web.
I fix my cars thanks to you man thank you for your Videos👍
glad you got your car working!
Right now I was setting up my esc and I don't have no reverse I hear the one beep the 2 beeps in the 3 beeps but I dont haveno reverse can you tell me what is the problem
@@chicalitrece9409 what car? Most ESC's have a race setting, which will disable the reverse. Check that your ESC is in "sport" mode which has forward and reverse.
@@RazorRC is lossi sc truck is a dinamite 3300 kv whit the tazer esc
Just ordered the radio. Tired of my radiolink glitching and having no range all of a sudden. Hope the gt5 works
Hi the I purchased this Gt5 , I am new to the hobby, the thing is I have no idea to calibrate this GT5 to my rc crawler, it would be great I you had a video to show a basic calibration for a crowler, thanks
Thank you for the nice video , But i cannot seem to be able to programme Mix channel for 2 throttle mix with any channels eg 3 or 4
I cannot find that Menu , Can you please Help and Do Video
My Futaba has it even the radiolink has it but no where to be found in GT5
#391👍. Great information. Nicely done 🤝
Great video! Just received my flysky gt5,very nice for 70$ replaced my Airtronics mx3, just as good!!!!!!! I thought one had to activate the gyro via bind button on receiver! Not !
Thank you!!! Keep up the great vids!!!
Need some help here. I am don't know why my RC car won't go straight with gyro enabled. It goes left and right very quickly at high speed then spins out. I have a very old servo JR Z250. I am not sure if that was the issue. Do I need a high speed servo for gyro to work correctly?
Hello! Can the radio be set so the steering servo turns to the other side if needed (because the wheels go right when i turn left?)?
Thanks!
Hi. I have a couple of cars that the GT5 will work well with. However I have a train also. Best control is via a slider, stick or knob as once it is moving there is no need for the controller. Can I plug the ESC into the channel 5 socket and control the train with the Channel 5 knob? I need it to travel in reverse also. I would be grateful for advice.
Thanks.
Yeah should be possible. Not 100% sure tho
Great video!! Very informative. Got a question for you. I have a AWD 1/18 car that is brushless on a 3s battery. I can’t keep it straight. Will this gyro system do that? Also is there a way to make it where the faster you go the lighter the steering is? I can tap it and send my car rolling end to end.
yes this has an awesome gyro and svc function, and yes it has the option to make the steering slower the faster you go. 10/10 reccomend
@@mprovedtuningwhat is that function called on the radio please (reduced steering with increased speed)? I have been through the manual but haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance 👍
How can you calibrate an esc without a set button? I bought an aftermarket esc but it only has an on off switch
Hi, do you know if i can use this radio with an analog servo?
Is there a situation where the esc does not have a button for throttle cabibration as i dont see any button on my esc? Thank You!
Great setup video! Question I have is for the throttle endpoints with a brushless arrma car should the throttle endpoint be 100% or 120%? Does it make a difference or matters?
set it to 100%, then calibrate the ESC and don't change the endpoint after that

Thank You!
Fantastic video!! Do you happen to know if the older receivers from the Flysky FSGT3C are compatible with this new radio?
they're not 🙁
@@RazorRC are you sure? Shouldn't it bind fine just loses 4-6 and Gyro functions?
@@TK_Mo Yup, I'm sure. The GT3C does AFHDS protocol and the GT5 does AFHDS 2. The manual also confirms that the FS-GR3E receiver is not compatible.
@@RazorRC Thanks, good to know. I had been told differently.
Is the Noble NB4 compatible with this receiver?
Anyone know if there is a flysky svc receiver compatible with the cheaper flysky gtb3 transmitter? Thanks for any reply. Great video. 👍👍
Hi Razor, thanks for this great video! I want to ride buggy competition with this remote so throthle rear isnt allowed. Can you help me and explain how i can put this off? Thank you so much!
Muldrix Muldrix it should be a setting in the ESC, not the radio.
I'm having a problem with the same setup.. It will randomly twitch to the left or right.. I took it outside earlier and it would lock full left and start twitching. Any help on this would be appreciated.
what about binding the radio to the receiver
Can u get a 2 channel receiver for this transmitter??
Did you turn the backlight off?
Question, when SVC is turned on, I can’t give slow acceleration. It stutters. But when SVC is turned off, I can give slow acceleration with out it stuttering. Why is that?
is this Transmitter good for R/C Boat. Also wondering about range
Where did you get that soundtrack?
Hi Friend, i have a question. Hoe can you put off the rear and uses only the brakes? Thankd
How do you slow the reverse down??? Or no reverse setting
Hey razor does the receiver need to be placed flat and a certain direction to support svc? I put it in my mojave and the way it mounts is like up and down and not flat. It wasn't working great and then said svc not supported on my remote. Thanks
Yes, it should be mounted flat. Unfortunately, it just won't fit in some receiver boxes such as my Hobao Hyper VS. :(
Can you explain what priority means in the settings
I have the FS-GT5 with my Team Associated Rival MT10. Would you recommend still doing your "brake hack" or will the brake adjustment resolve the brake issue?
How much better is it ? I also have the mt10. Debating on what to upgrade first.the tires or the remote/transmitter. What do you tbink
@@ferbmayne Hey Ferb. I bought the MT10 to get back into the hobby with my 8yr son. Now I've upgraded everything. Servo (ProTek 170SBL which is way overkill. Put the ProTek 130T in my sons and its great!), ESC & Motor (Hobbywing XR8 SCT combo) , Transmitter (FlySky NB4), Shocks (Proline ProSpecs) Tires (Jconcepts Premounted Choppers), Hubs (Hot Racing HRASLF1006 Aluminum), Dusty Dust Cover. Probably 500+ in upgrades 😂...way to much and definitely overkill but I love it all! I dont know where you drive but I would upgrad the servo 1st. Huge difference. And there are a lot of good options for 60-100. The Transmitter makes a huge difference in tune ablilty. Way more responsive and so many critical adjustments. As far as the Transmitter goes if you can afford it the FlySky Noble NB4 is a game changer. In my opinion its well worth the 100 more than the GT5. For 179 it has the feel, finish and functionality of the 500+ Transmitters. Its a steal for 179. After owning it I would of paid 100 more for it and would still be half the price of the Futuba's and Sanwa's. I'm not a pro so its just as good to me and smacks down all the other Transmitters in that price range. The GT5 is great too. I sold my GT5 to buy the NB4. But again if you can afford it definitely go with the NB4. The Dusty Covers made a big difference too. Easy to open and close with the zipper and way better quality than the stock. Really helps keep the electronic cleaner. The one for the Traxxas Rustler fit perfect. Any more questions I'd be happy to help. Sorry for the novel. Hope you find this useful
I was wondering if you had an answer on the braking with a new transmitter? I've got an mt10 coming in the post and recently bought a futaba t4px and want to be able to dial the brakes down when it arrives, unsure if I can do it through the transmitter settings or try the hack or install a replacement ESC, cheers mate
Mine won’t let me do any svc adjustments. It says it’s not available on the controller. Which don’t make sense because I have the receiver that is compatible with svc. The same as you have. Why is it doing that?
I’m trying to set mine up to my rc4wd but it’s overheating how do I fix this ?
I’ve had three of those receivers not one of them would go further than about 15-20 feet away from the transmitter without signal loss and none of them would engage the gyros.went with the fly sky 4channel receivers with gyro ,not one has had a problem .
Just bought gt5 yesterday but when i try the forward trigger it goes backwards so does the opposite. How to change the assign could you help?
Reverse channel 2 (throttle).
hey, bro how to calibrate throttle with different esc?
does it have gyro out of the box?
thanks
So you can calibrate the ESC without binding? I’m confused. Can you answer?
The receiver comes pre-bound to the transmitter from the factory
Any breaking tips?
Anyone have any ideas why I would have to turn the vehicle off to adjust SVC on this radio? Otherwise if I don't, it says SVC not supported.
I know this is a year old video. Hope you see this and can help me out. I bought this transmitter and I set it up with my kraton 6s v4. My problem is when I set it up with the gyro on and I give it throttle the wheels turn and when I hit the brake they turn the same way now when I turn the gyro off and I hit throttle or brake it doesn’t do it. I’m about to go crazy can’t figure it out I’ve asked help from a lot of people and they have no clue. I’ve got everything hooked up right to the channels and I bind the car over and over I set the throttle and brake up also Hope you can help
I have exactly the same problem.
For some odd reason im still having trouble I wish the steering would actually move while saying the trim. My car keeps going a little bit to the left. I tried literally everything
Every time i turn the receiver on than the SVC funtion is not support? how is that possible?
Wow , no binding needed? Cool
Hello,
I have just got this transmitter and receiver . I want to pair it to my vehicles but some of them are 4s and 6s lipos . So 22V maximum output, I believe that the BS6 receiver cannot handle that voltage so what receiver can I use that I can pair with the GT5?
the receiver gets its power from the BEC of the ESC, not directly from the battery. The BEC should be 6V or 7.4V.
@@RazorRC so are you saying I should be able to use any receiver as the voltage is controlled before it gets to it ?
Why do they give the voltage then lol ? Just precautions I assume lol
@@LRSTUDIOCREATIONS Yes, the ESC should supply a steady 6.0V to the receiver to power it and the servos. Only set the BEC on your ESC to 7.4V (or anything higher than 6.0V) if you know that your receiver and servos can support it. Servos capable of 7.4V or more will make your servos more powerful and spin faster for improved steering. I've never seen a receiver or servo support 4S or 6S type voltages (~14.8V or 22.2V). The 4S, 6S voltage is referring to the voltage that the ESC can use to power the motor. The higher the voltage you supply to the motor, the faster it will spin. The BEC voltage is specific to the voltage output through the 3 wire connector from the ESC to the receiver.
Can I use this radio set for my x maxx?or this radio pretty much for crawlers?
pats4lifethiz this would work well for an Xmaxx
Good Voice:)
How do you flip the steering? Somehow I flipped it on accident and can't get it to switch back.. it steers the opposite way
look for Reverse -- you need to switch Channel 1 (Steering back).
@@RazorRC found a detailed video on all the options that someone put up a week ago, thanks!
Is there a way to delete a model or unbind it?
how do u bind a second reciever to my flysky gt5.so I can run both my cars of of the same controller?
On the transmitter, change the model number then bind a new receiver. You can save up to 20 different models on this transmitter.
Rather than setting the left and right steering end points separately to 81%, you can simply set the steering (channel 1) dual/rate to 81%. Setting steering dual/rate is generally the better way to set the steering end points.
I came here to see what effect setting the SVC throttle and priority have on the vehicle, but you didn't explain that at all.
I have no idea about to calibrate anything reverse left right up down I have no idea would you be able to run a Full speck on this transmitter for a Crawler.
Basically a full set up.
I’m sure there’s more than one like me would like to hear that because not everyone knows how to use a translator a gnu to the Hobby so please can you do that so you may get more subscriber to and perhaps me
Can use it on any rc cars
Can you use that on a rc rampage
would the flysky GT5 be ok to use with a 1/5 scale baja?
Im waiting the answer too..
@@sayayo9108 hey i went ahead and got the GT5 im yet to set it up but its a really nice radio i like it 👍
I was chatting to another baja user who recommend it and said they are great radios
Hope this helps
@@xrmte.. Tq mate.. But i want to get a latest one flysky noble4.. Its adorable.. With many advanced.. Hehe..
The one thing i wanted to see... You didnt show... How to turn on the gyro...
Would have been nice and basically expected for u to show the install of this receiver and removal of old receiver
You simply unplug the servos and remove the old receiver. Why do you need a video showing how to do that?
when I turn my controller on my wheels shoot to the left and keep trying to go left. What do i need to adjust?
Trim
Is the receiver water proof
but for the moment which gives better feelings? regards
at the moment, I'd say FS-GT5 = iPhone, RC6GS = Android
@@RazorRC i am from android. Jajaja . The need for a crawler. .your recommendation.
Is fail safe set out of the Box
can we switch on/off the gyro on that receiver?
yes
does the orientation of the gyro matter?
It should be placed flat, but other than that, you can orientate it any way you want.
Normally I look to you as a good reliable source of info, but have a little hesitation on how you did the EPAs. Aren't you supposed to do it with the arms sitting at ride height? Also I like to go full lock without whine & then bump it up by 2 just to compensate for the servo saver (if you have one). This is also how Ryan Lutz did his on his video. 🤷♂️
Really good questions! As for on the ground or in the air, the safest way is actually to do it in the air, so that the tires are not adding extra resistance and giving you a false reading. Then it's a good idea to lift the arms up and down at full lock (to account for bumpsteer and to better mimic what the car is doing mid-corner as it rolls) and recheck.
As for whine, it depends on how aggressive you want to be with the EPA and how safe you want to be. Lutz, Trishbits, etc. are pretty aggressive with their end points because they want to make sure the steering is fully locked with no give whatsoever (and they probably get their servos for free, ha!), so they will have a little bit of strain from the servo. I set mine a little more conservative than they do.
@@RazorRC True, thanks for the clear info. See I knew you knew your stuff. 👍
Radiolink rc 6gs o fly sky gt5. What better??. Regards
I need to take it to the racetrack and do some more testing. Hopefully that will happen Wednesday.
@@RazorRC but for the moment which gives better feelings? regards
I think Radiolink better if you like to programme mix channel
Do you know how i would reverse the steering
Go to the “REV” option and click the wheel on channel 1. Then scroll the wheel to rev instead of nor.
i dont have the button on mines?
Mine does the opposite. When i turn ON the SVC and also CALIBRATE, the wheels will try to straighten up when I'm moving side to side holding it in the air but when i put it on the ground the car won't run straight it keeps turning back around. If i turn SVC OFF, it goes back to normal and runs kinda straight but not as straight like when you got your SVC ON in your video. What am i doing wrong? Please give me some advice. Thanks 🙏
Johnedel Ariola try flipping the receiver around. I think it has to be mounted a certain way.
@@RazorRC i will try that...thanks. I'll install it same orientation as yours
Johnedel Ariola, did you get your svc to work? I'm have the same issue
Did you guys manage to solve that problem ?
How does the range compare to the dumbo rc
Worse than the Dumbo, as it's flysky protocol. If you want Max range but still heck of a lot of features (evenore than the gt5) then take a look at the radiolink rc6gs
@@ValFPV yeah I see the radiolink has more range
How is the range?
I easily get over 100m in an open park with the antenna sticking straight up in an antenna tube. I have not tested the maximum range.
Some people don't have the same esc as you do basic information needed
7.30 what the song?

A new receiver but you didn't need to bind it?
Radios always come pre-bound to the receiver in the box.
@@RazorRC Thanks I am to use to bind and fly I haven't purchased a radio with a receiver.
You know what makes this video so confusing for me as a noob to the hobby. Is that you skip the bind part completely after what looks like the initial plugging of all the electronics. Which can be confusing since you’re setting everything with what can seem with no binding process. So you should say bind the radio with the car first and then....
That should be common sense though lol
what means SVC?
Smart Vehicle Control. It's Flysky's term for gyro.
On my flysky fs gt5 my 3 lights are green, why?
Jordan Stanga you can change the colors
@@RazorRC do you mind telling me how?
I havent found the option to change that, so far ive noticed the colors change as your radio batteries die out
Because at the end of the day you can’t do any of those things unless you bind it first and you have to be clear with that man when someone is new like myself I want to keep people or not get dislikes you have to keep everything intact and be very clear not skip a huge part.
King Nica when you buy a new radio and receiver, they should already be bound from the factory.
Lmao, safe to say you are new 🤣🤣 don't just assume if you don't know anything about it, why not ask if its pre bound instead of looking like a wide nip
rc car not workig
Why the fuck is my transmitter not working , I just pulled it out the box and it's going fuckin crazy
