- In this episode of 10th Scale Garage, we take a look a which budget-spec RC transmitter is the best. The Radiolink RC6GS Transmitter goes up against the Flysky FS-G7P and Flysky GT3C. All of these surface transmitters have the ability to store multiple models, multiple channels and are a huge upgrade over most stock RTR transmitters. We bind them up and test them out to see which is best.

I was 65 at the time, now i'm 53...
Love you guys.
Greatings from Sweden
I had taken a 2000mah 2S WPL battery and took out the double a battery tray, it has the wires you need connected to the tray, so you snip them and attach to a 2S, now you have the jst plug you need to plug it in. I even put my usb charger in the battery tray as i still have the room, charge in the car once in a blue moon, Lose maybe .2 volts every like 4 hours. Stupid good for its price, have gotten a handful of friends to convert to it from the flysky gt3..
Edit; i forgot to add as well how awesome it is having the ability to throw a camera mount onto the radio. Has made life easy when it comes to recording
RadioLink hands down when it comes to affordability, range, features and the price on receivers can’t compare. Speed runs, Drag Racing, Bashing it’s just better in my opinion of those on the table 🤷🏾♂️
I can vouch for that on the Radiolink, I have never used Flysky so I don't know how they perform for speedruns. I have done speedruns up to 2300ft (me at midpoint) with the RC4GS. I'm now considering getting the new RC6GS for the extra range. That or install a range booster.
Radiolink is awesome for fpv cars, its range with the 7 channel receiver is crazy far. Also it has a head tracker port and i think its the only pistol type radio that supports that feature. Love the functions on the flysky though! Brake force and expo on the knobs would be things I'd use for sure, and the sensor's sound cool.
Hi, a use tips for check channel's travel position, just press the the EXIT button go to check every channel's position, only can check Steering and Throttle position on home page. We will keep moving!
Good morning great video always great stuff
Very informative and entertaining video. I'm getting back into the hobby after a long hiatus and this is just what I needed to help me pick an affordable radio. Subbed 👍
Great to hear!
I really dig "budget" videos! These are ideas I have on my channel as well. 👍 The TTX300 I picked up for my son's RMX is very user friendly.
cool remotes and great comparisons
Nice set up great channel
On the radiolink you press the exit button once and you can see all the channels values.
Great video! I hacked my Flysky GT3C and now it has 8 channels and holds 70 models! The rechargeable battery is a huge advantage also. I strapped a 500mah battery pack to the bottom too. I Can crawl for days with it!!
Nice! Yeah dude. It’s definitely the underdog but a classic.
Great video. I like the radiolink. You can use a lipo or rechargeable batteries to take care of the battery issue.
Radiolink, I can dig it
I've got a wraith spawn....actually after watching your videos on it. I got a couple pieces of thin plastic and mounted it with the screws that go through the body tonthe cage. Then I took some heavy duty stick on velcro and stuck it to those plastic pieces and to the body. Boom!! Velcro on and off body!! I just converted my to all wheel steering with a flysky gt5.
Everytime I look for a different transmitter I come back to the FlySky GT3C. Very easy to turn into a 8-channel. Receivers are very cheap and with the 8-channel hack you can use 3, 6 and 8 channel receivers. It is very light. 800MAh Lipo is standard and you can get a 1700MAh Lipo that lasts forever. Range is very good, over 300 meter. You can connect 62 RCs with the 8ch hack, not much radios that can do that. Loads of 3D print stuff available for this transmitter. I have several for them, been using them for over 9 years now. Programming takes a bit more time, but there are good videos on that. And once you programmed it you are set.
I like my Radiolink RC6GS. It's got tons of options. Some of which I have no idea how to use. Holds 10 I think. And it's almost full!👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
That’s not nearly enough.
@@10thScaleGarage I agree
which version do you have
I have 2 of the GT3C'S (one silver, one orange)and want to get them unlocked someday. The next radio I want to try out is the Nobile. Really hard to beat the Flysky's for the price. My son runs the Dumbo RC radio and likes it, but the lack of a display can be irritating sometimes when you are switching back and forth between models regularly.
Cool vid lads 😎😎👍👍
Thanks!
What lightbar and lights are on the white truck?
Thx guys-wonderful video,I almost bought the Warhammer,but my piggy bank was low,so I got the FS GT3C with extra receivers (3) total on Amzonn $73 happy camper
Great to hear!
I have the radiolink but I also only have 1 rc. So getting it setup is no big deal. I like the range it has so I don't have to worry about loosing signal.
Decided on the gt3c &2 extra receivers amzon $73
What led light kit do you use?
I just recently was in the market for a new transmitter and the RadioLink won for me after seeing how many people rave about its features. Its also very comfortable in my hand, with smaller hands its hard to find a comfortable anything "pistol gripped" although still cant thumb steer cause the wheel is too far away lol
Yeah, there’s a bunch of thumb knobs that you can get to allow you to drive one handed. My Spektrum DX5 came with one right out of the box.
I can barely drive with two hands, must have talent to be worried about trying to do one handed. Just got a radiolink as well excited to try it.
Anyone tested the dumborc one its comes with a thumb bit in the box too
Really nice radio's
I like the Radiolink, I had the previous version of it the V2.
When they put the V3 on the market and for those who had the V2 could trade it in for the newer version and get to keep the old one !
I bought the radiolink for its range, what transmitter has a range of 800 meter? thats 800 in front of jou and 800 back of jou so almost a mile !
Great video btw
I think the new fly sky 7 channel probably wins. Also, I gotta say I love how you haven’t forgotten the good old redcats! Most people stop playin with the cheaper toys once they get deeper into the hobby and into CZcams, but your one of those people who can actually realize that just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s bad!
Towards the beginning of the video. What color changing light bar is that!?❤ possibly a link?please
I have a fly sky gt5 brand new never been able to get it to bind to any thing!
I have a GT3B that I really enjoy. It has a firmware and lithium battery upgrade. The firmware really unlocks the potential of the transmitter and in my opinion makes it easier to navigate.
I just bought both of the fly sky radios on this video. The G7P has better handling and stability characteristics for my 80+mph street car. And the gt3c for my back yard basher. I do like however that they’re mostly cross compatible with each other so that I can switch them up if I choose.
Thank you guys, much appreciated. Would your pick be still the same today?
Yeah probably
Nice review... just throwing in my 2¢, I like my Flysky FS-GT5 6CH. Budget friendly at ~$75 and receivers are ~$22. Its will hold 20 models (i think) and has stuff like 4 wheel steer, crab mode, etc.... also has a nice cushy foam pad on the wheel :)
Yeah! I’ve used the GT5, and should’ve included it.
Yup looks awsome on my rc shelf….unfortunately can’t get it to bind 🤷♂️
How well would the transmitters featured work for racing, Which one would you choose?
Does anyone know if I can bind a Flysky GT5 remote with a Flysky FS-R4P reciever that comes with the EMB-T?
Two years ago I got my GT3C for $39. Thanks Democra-china. I was about to buy another, but not now. I also have a RC6GS and I like the GUI much better than the GT3C.
Gt5 is my fav. The response is elite and the range is insane. The battery life sux. Needs to have lipo mod. Good vid thanks guys!! Oh and I hacked my gt3b years ago to 8 channel . I used an STM8 reader/hacker. Solder a 4 pin jst to the gt3 board and plug in.
GT5 vs G7P, which one has fastest response?
Wow a hundy for the link you got robbed should be 80 or so w/reciever . Also lots of functions you didnt mention like the ABS and sub trims . Exponent thats fully tunable on points or a curve including braking . Fpv capture compatible . Multi servo mixing like operating a tank or monster truck with 4ws . And if you want to see where your knob is just hit exit from the main display screen and it shows the position of all the channels (which can ALL be reversed! ) and you forgot the dumbo (only for cheap reasons tho i know its not multi model compatible . Still good info for the masses keep it up guys! And stay away from those 'beadlock' duratrash mk?
Edit: almost forgot i run mine on 4s 1080 mah lipo that fits door closed . Hope you guys found out it doesn't have to run AAs
Got the Noble 😍
FHSS is used by a lot of the major brands, FREQUENCY HOPPING SPREAD SPECTRUM,so you do not have any issues with other 2.4 ghz transmitters,
it does not mean u can use it with other FHHS receivers..
Can the FlySky GT3c change the mounting positions of the wheel similar to the Noble NB4? I dont know if i can get use to the funky menu buttons though, i wish they would just add a simple cursor, up, down, left, right should be easy.
Nope. It’s fixed.
im running the gt7p on my drift cars, best controller ive used hands down, until i broke the thing the returns the wheel to center. thankfully its a week old and amazon replaced it, but if it cant last more than 4 total hours of usage beforr breakage, ill go back to the dumbo x6
I like the Flysky, I associate that name with aircraft but not as much in ground applications.
Does the g7p allow you to switch between crab steer, 4ws, front only and rear only without going into the menu. That’s the feature I want in a budget Tx. But on mapping would be nice well
Yes the g7p had that feature and also has a bunch of mixes you can play around with
Radiolink can run 2s lipos and the controls once you get use to them are pretty intuitive. It's just that you can't change settings as fast. If you wanted let's say adjust steering epa from 100 percent to 40 you gotta wait for the dang thing to hit every number in-between which can get pretty tedious.
There's a trick to get it back to 0 fast. I believe you hold the + and - down at the same time.
New to this rc world.. if i get one of these remotes for my existing rc crawler, do I need to get a matching receiver as well or do these transmitters just work with the existing receiver on the crawler? Thanks!
Yes.
Question, will any of these remots bind with a Brushed Receiver?
Well, receivers aren’t brushed or brushless. You can use just about any transmitter and receiver that use the same radio architecture to control a brushless or brushed RC.
3d print aTPU cover for the wheel. Also there is supposed to be an optional wheel for the G7P. Where can you get a G7P for $69?
Do they all have gyro
I've had good luck bashing and such with the dumborc, 40 bucks for 6 channels and the rx bout 15.
Nice car
Friends and I had GT3, ALL had very short range. Have a G7p, hate it. Thought I would eventually learn how to navigate with that 1 stupid button- nope. Most aggravating radio Iv'e ever used, the GT3 was MUCH better in that respect. So I ordered the Radiolink, I know it has excellent range and 4 individual buttons for much better navigation. Hoping 3rd time is a charm. Shame the 3GT has lousy range, it was not hard to learn, but 8 AA batteries?! If it could be lipo'd and had range I would have been thrilled with it. (I have 5 of them, came with trucks). Oh well, at least they're cheap to buy!
You can convert it to LiPo for next to nothing.
What about the GT5? I chose it over these three.
The Flysky came out with a gyro reciever now
I am with you on the RadioLink RC6GS...Great transmitter...pretty crap menus and buttons. Spektrum receivers are REALLY expensive in Canada. The RadioLink 7-channel receivers with gyro are on Amazon for less than $30CDN. The Spektrum 5-channel is over $85CDN. I am looking for a new transmitter as my RadioLink is nearly full. My RC6GS V2 only seems to hold 10 different cars....
With the RadioLink you can remove the AA battery tray and use a rechargeable battery via JST plug under the AA tray.
Yeah. I might have to do that…. But can you charge the battery through the USB port?
@@10thScaleGarage nope....unfortunately. That is for firmware updates only. Depending on the battery capacity and use, you should be able to get months if not a full year out of one charge. I have a LiFe battery in mine so there are no worries about a handful of fire and undervoltage issues ruining the battery.
Hi, we do have RC6GS V3 and RC4GS v3 both support 30 model data storages, they are arrival soon on Amazon Canada, you also can e-mail us to get latest information.
@@canuckchuck8836 which LiFe battery do you recommend for the Radiolink?
@@rcfreak9 I am using a Venom 15151 6.6V 850mAh LiFE battery. I would recommend a lager capacity battery only because I accidentally bought this battery thinking it was a LiPo. As long as you choose a 6.6V LiFe battery that is no bigger than 90mm x 58mm x 15mm with a JST connector on it you should be good!
Flyskys never work with mamba monster escs, my radiolink works great and isnt much more for recievers for multiple vehicles.
Mine has worked perfectly with 3 Mamba X powered rigs including an Axial Ryft!
I use my GT3C with my MMX8S, Mamba Max 6s, and Mamba Micro all the time with no issues.
Spectrum has storage for party favors…. So that’s a plus! Right??
Radio link for me !! I got it cuz of the servo Slave option for steering and brake/throttle
What about the Dumbo rc?
I have a dumbo RC, but it’s only 2 channel and doesn’t store more than 1 model.
Only issue I've ever had with my gt3 is I always have to re adjust my endpoints when I turn it on
Yuck! That’s not been our experience with them.
I love my NB4 for bashing
One word guy makes me laugh 😂 🤣 🤣
Radiolink also can use a lipo and charge right through the the unit. Like you said with the the other controller once you get used to it you will love it plus its fairly rugged, I have dropped mine a few times and nothing has broken in the last 4 years I owed it. It also has a mount on the top for your phone or camera
I already through a LiPo in it. Haha. Good looking out.
yes, you just need remove the AA battery tray!
Which lipo do you recommend?
@@10thScaleGarage which lipo do you recommend for the Radiolink radio?
@@rcfreak9 Hello, sir. 2S-4S LiPo battery works.
Radiolink is a HOME FN RUN!!!! Spektrum DXrugged is outdated
Everyone at the tenth scale indoor black CRC carpet track I race at all uses the fkysky radio. The one with lcd screen and run up front I run the same spektrum radio you got except non rugged. I like spektrum interface over the higher end fkysky radio cuse you can put dual rates for throttle for break out racing 140percent and 65 percent is what I run in my legends car and same principle with my other RJ speed break out cars. I use 140 percent on all my other non tenth scale break out classes like on oval the 21.5 pan car or rubber toie truck and the touring open wheel modifieds look like nascar wheelin modified class. I also run vta pro mod 17.5 pro touring and pro touring, F1 cars, is my on road cars so 20 models is all I need for what I do and love my spektrum you can set all kinds of buttons and knobs to adjust stuff on the fly. Best part is our track is the carpet from the 2019 snowbirds same track and all we bought the whole snowbirds setup after the 2019 snowbirds we left with everything they had for the track plus timing system and the hand out transponders for new ppl who don't have their own the bulky clip on red ones you gotta drill a huge hole in your body for them to put a body pin through to hold on with the charging board for it and we get 100 plus cars in total every weekend for both oval and on road and every Thursday is rj speed night legends spec 10 and RJ speed open class non break out run any RJ speed car and body just no open wheel like the sprint car and modified ones
You can build your own winch and or light controller js
I’m weird, I like my taranis qx7. I use to control ALL my Rc stuff. Drones, cars, boats, planes, everything.
I’ve never used one, but some of my friends use them and love them.
Ps raidolink can seed Id the recever so when your boat flips no need to worry just change boats and I'd and there both bound to the radio and on but you can controll the recovery craft with out upsetting the stranded craft. Soo much you can do with it
range?
can put a lipo in radiolink
Yup!
Yes, you can! the battery size should below 0.59*3.5* 2.32 inch
you can take the battery tray out of the radio link and plug in a lipo.
You don’t remove the battery tray lol
Ive had both, and radiolink is way better in every way.
I have both the GT3B and GT3C, both hacked to 8ch, the GT3B is way better than the c in my opinion.
I own a Radiolink RC6GS V3 and I am a nuwbe🥸
Flysky GT3
yo check out the dumborc transmitter and receiver
You gotta check out the new fms fcx24 its a beast
So I’ve heard.
Hello from southeast alaska how's your day going bro
Howdy! All good in the Midwest.
I used to have a GT5 and now a flysky nb4. Although I really want to try the v3 radiolink. Mainly due to the availability of receivers on amazon and the gyro function.
And I just bought a Futaba 3PV
Nice! Those look wicked.
I have s GT3C and I don't like it...
Way to short reach on it. And if you trim end point with it it will take away as much power from that channel leaving it weak instead.
I own a mess of flysky radios including gt3b (mods to the moon), gt3c, and the noble nb4 with a bunch of the stock radios from redcat. The only thing that has ever broke on any of them was the power button wires on the gt3c. I just put a power switch on the front of the radio, easy fix. I do how ever have a broken Kyosho kt 432pt that is made by flysky that I can’t get fixed (electrical issue).
Now I want some tacos.
Redcatracing has a new buggy
im like a kid in a candy store watching this video.. i have a slight solution to one of your problems haha.. im a budget man and have children ide gladly take a transmitter off your hands if you would part with one haha.. buying a new one is far and hard with me so if you could help ide be forever in dept to 10th scale garage
Flysky gt5
This...
It's sadly the only one they didn't get lol. GT5 > All other flyskys for sure. Easiest menu navigation, even easier buttons, extremely smooth trigger and steering... And dat range... I also like how minimalist it is. All of those, including the G7 are just overly bulky, whereas the GT5 is comfy, light etc
That's my opinion of course, but in my experience so far, GT5 is my best budget radio.
I do love Dumbos, but we have those for our B list cars and ONLY because features for price+receivers are CHEAP. Our 1/5 - 1/8 scales get the GT5 ;)
I had the GT5. I wasn’t a fan. The screen was unusable in sunlight, the stylus was crappy, the buttons felt cheap and it broke within 9 months. Kyosho makes the same transmitter with a better design, but that version is too expensive for me to consider it “budget spec.”
I know there’s a ton of people that love it, but my experience was bad. Rather than buy another one and complain about the bad experience I had with it, I just chose not to include it.
@@10thScaleGarage No worries, i absolutely agree. Having a bad experience is what shapes our opinions! Like... I love Dodge because experiences, but hate mustangs because experiences....
Not going to complain if you had a bad one :P but i do love the menu layout and the design the most. It's comfy, the holes help prevent sweat, and dat trigger pull and wheel are so smooth it may as well be Snoop Jr!
I didn't like any of those. Was better off saving more money go for nb4 for 170 with 2 4channel Rx's.
The interface on the GT3C is just awful, not helped by the crappy scroll wheel clicky button. Setup is terrible. But it's still got tons of options and once it's done, it's easy to live with so that's dealable with.
Agreed.
Hey Kids. Do you love cheap light beer and hate scurvy?
Then Anheuser Bush has your back. Welcome to Bush light lime with both horrible tasting light beer and lime pledge spray it sounds like you shouldn't get scurvy if you drink it so it's like the medicine of beer.
THE MORE YOU KNOW 🌠😂
🤣
1 car, 1 remote
futaba 4pm is by far the best radio that i have ever used under $300
G7P is awful had it less than a week and it went full factory reset on me twice! Erased everything i programmed and repgrogrammed. Also was awful to offer a 4 wheel steering option and not map servo speed over to the 2nd steering servo. Also when mixing Throttle to a 2nd channel for something like dual motors, it does not pick up Idle Up or Engine Cut settings into the mixed channel. Bush league stuff right there. They can't even fix it with firmware updates, they just deleted the functionality and took it away altogether. Wild stupid stuff for a $75 transmitter. Flysky is trash. Sorry. Gonna try the RadioLink but from your vid doesn't seem like its alot better. Maybe the Dumbo 350 12channel will be good.
gt3c is slow. update to 8 channel but lack of buttons to customize.
havent watched vid yet and tbo the radiolink kills the flysky own both just in range alone radionlink smashes and kills flysky let alone many other features , no spectrum no futaba radiolink and that is from many radios price , features etc. its not even worth comparing . but ill watch now lol. not to mention the ability to run crossfire or even fpv with head tracking the list is huge . and fkn cheap oh and forgot the 8 ch rx has even more range . for the price of rx do the math . tanks, boats , excavtors etc it will do it , but i will say mixing is a challenge but once you figure it out nuts. for the price. oh did i mention crossfire""""""""""""""""""" how many surface guys are running that??? crickets::::::: but what do i know just a old rc dude that has paid ota for bs like spectrum . beer assistant
R. I. P. headphone users
💀
Grown men playing with toys, Goodnight Everybody!
1:12 sounds like this is a female button 😁
No gt5!? Booo lol
I had the GT5. It was nothing but problems. Not saying they’re all like that, but that was my experience.
@@10thScaleGarage mine had range issues
All of these complaints on the rc6gs are stupid as hell or user error. Receivers can be had for $10 a pop and blow other brands out of the water. 😂 you should learn how a product works before making a review
