Flysky Digital Transmitter & Receiver (FS-GT3B)

I read all the reviews on this model, and the step-up model that included the rechargeable battery pack (newer model). Went with this one based one the reviews that said it felt better in the hand due to the non-rechargeable battery heft in the base. I could not agree with this more after using. Installed in our almost 20 year old Traxxas Emaxx #3906 (vintage ha!). The original radio was twitchy and we decided to revamp the Emaxx with a new steering servo, wheels, and radio. Did not want to break the bank on an old RC, and this model is perfect for our setup. 3 channel which means we can still use the old servo actuated low gear on channel-3. Hooked up in less than 10 minutes- the receiver is about 1/3 the size of the original Emaxx receiver, too funny. Out of the box, had to reverse the steering servo channel on the transmitter, and adjust the ABS setting on the throttle channel, and lastly the trim on the steering channel. Once I figured out how to navigate the menu system of the transmitter (seems kind of hard at first), dialed in the correct settings, and good to go. Could not be happier. Transmitter actually feels better in hand than the one the Fly Sky one that came with our new Redcat Shredder. I see you can actually bind this transmitter to the receiver in the Shredder, so I may use this controller for both models. Love it. Great bang for the buck. Transmitters have come a long way since I was into RC's 20 years ago.

This radio transmitter works great. My 11 year old son was able to install the transmitter in his RC car and got it up and running with no problems. However, the instruction manual is lacking. The transmitter has a lot of functionality, but the instructions don't really tell you how to access it. For instance, you can change a lot of settings such as the dual rate of the various inputs (such as throttle or steering), but you kind of have to fiddle with the remote and figure out how to do that because the instructions aren't going to help you at all. Additionally, the remove requires 8 AA batteries, which adds quite a bit of weight to the device. Overall, it's a good unit, especially for those on a budget, but want something with functionality. It fits comfortably in the hand and looks pretty nice to boot. But know that you will have to figure out most of the stuff for yourself and have a bunch of batteries handy to power it. Additionally, we noticed that it has an "Charge" port on the side of the remote... there is nothing in the manual about built in batteries, nor is there a cable to plug into it.

Always good

O produto é bom, mas a loja me vendeu o controle mas nunca me entregou e não me reembolsou, precisei que a Amazon intervisse e até o momento não foi resolvido. Sem produto e sem dinheiro.
