Crawler Canyon Quick(re)view: Radiolink RC6GS V3 

Wow, you have so many RC4GS, thanks for supporting us, we will keep moving!

I have one of these running both my trx4 and will be swapping all my gt5 out to radiolink radios, the features and tune ability make these the best bang for buck radio anywhere. They have an amazing feel while in use and I can't fault them at all. Great video as always.

It was between this and flysky 7ch for me... Bought this one and love it. Albeit, it replaced a spektrum that did 4ws in bash mode better in my opinion. I have a hobbying 1080g2 and use the yellow wire to ch5.. so now i can turn drag brake off and bash by switching left... some breaking in middle and full locked to right. love it. I need to swap the steering wheel to a bigger unit and get ch3 with something as a wheel.... loving it so far.

I appreciate your genuine honesty! I own 2 RC4GS, and they are amazing radios for the price. Both were submerged in a basement flood that caused my whole RC work area to get soaked, and surprisingly after thoroughly drying them out, one of them still works flawlessly! (The other is for spare parts now 😂) All in all, these radios are amazing, durable, and just work!

Was having a less than desirable day. Woke back up saw a new crawler canyon video, not just any video. A video on the mighty 6x6 and here's the kicker. I just put the radio link v3 7 in my amazon cart yesterday and here it is in the same video haha. My mood has greatly improved. Thank you for what you do sir 🎉 Happy Easter everyone If not happy Sunday

Watching this video and it reminded me I didn't set the end points on my new scx10 trail truck. Paused and went to set them. Back to finish watching. Oh and using the Flysky FS-G7P radio. 😂

Great vid as always and thanks for the integrity not to sell your soul for a few bucks, there are so few people left who won't. Keep up the good work.

I am up to four cuz of you. And have become my favorite every build I do now ,I order a radio link first

Oh yeah, you talked me right into one once you told me the little knobb can be used for rear steering. Thanks by the way I love the radio!

Your love for radio link is only outweighed by your love of weed eater guy,lawnmower man,helicopters,sirens,planes,and Kevin

After a 30 year absence from the hobby. I got back into it about a little over a year ago. I was not sure what radio system to get until I saw you using the Radiolink, and been so happy with RC4GS. With my new rig I am building it will need 6 channels and just ordered RC6GS. Just wanted to thank y.ou

Heck yeah having a great time, appreciate you sharing

Hey. Happy Easter man. Hope you had a pleasant holiday 😎😎. I’m wrenching on the base camp.

Cheers for the review, relevant points touched on for me there.

Yup the Canyon has sold me again. Thank You for all You do.

Thanks for the review. I may need a radio that mixes channels for one of my MOA. Just got my Rhino and 9imod 1400kv outrunner hooked up in one of my crawlers. Love it! Pouring rain for days on end in the PNW. So patio stairs testing only. Quiet and powerful.

Love that course, awesome testing grounds 👍👍😎

great video! helped massively - thank you!

Gotta get in on one of these. Frickin sweet. I'm still running cheap junk from 4 years ago

You got me to try a RC4GS V3 and the videos on idlup and cruise control made it significantly better. Looks like my next radio will be the RC6GS.

I also run their product, great transmitters for everything, can set up a drag car, drift car, crawler, whatever you’d like on it and dial it down, it holds 30 vehicles The second antenna is for the gyro when drifting keep the wheels straight, you can set up thru this transmitter too!

I just got mine yesterday!!!!!

Good one mi big bro I ordered one finally pulled that trigger and finally ordered one I was tired of the Spektrum radio were I cannot see the screen with no backlight and I love the radio link set up so even tho it's $80+ dollars it's still better and cheaper then the Spektrum rugged thanks for the review 👍🤙👊💯🔥

I just picked up one of these. It’s still in the box and I’m really contemplating whether to use this on my upcoming crawler build or if I should throw this in my ridiculous custom 2wd slash.

Radiolink is the only radio I use now. Have the AT10ii for planes, 4gs and 6gs. I use my 6gs V2 for my gas boats with the 7 channel receiver more for monitoring voltage, but the range on the water is amazing. Sold everything Spektrum I had after too many glitches in the air. Can't beat Radiolink functionality.

Dual rates is another way of setting up cruise control or other things. I have my winch on the vr knob and activated by the same button as your cruise lol. I just can't wait for radiolink to send you the rc8x and how much you'll love that one

Happy Easter.

I got a G7P for my phoenix and I can't say I'm a fan. I was thinking about getting one of these. Looks like it's time to find a new home for the g7p.

I agree we need a budget "crawler spec" radio with good 4WS dual steering knob, momentary switch for dig, and 3 position momentary switch for winch operation.

SOLD! I haven't even reached the middle of the vid and I know that I have to try out one of these Radiolink transmitters. I currently have the GT5's on a few of my rigs and I have had good luck with them, but the features on the Radiolink I believe will be better suited for my rigs that need more channels, like my Vanquish Phoenix fleet. I'll comment again if I have questions. Thanks for the quick (re)view once again!

Yeah love cruise control I appreciate you sharing with us I’ll be watching for more. Well until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎

Sweet looking 6 x 6 I like it

I didn't know epa was end point adjustment on my radio. Great review

Now I need a radio link tattoo on my forehead

I saw this video again it came on automatically when I watched other videos from you. But the long antennas… I cut mine to like 3cm 🙈 just to try. And it’s now problem for a crawler. I have tried it to like 100m/300feet with no problem. And we don’t need that range on a crawler 😊

Thanks!

Happy Easter CC man. I truly think that you did Jesse proud!! And thank you for not doing that VPN hogwash. It's a crawler channel right? That radio looks good in its new garage next to Rusty!!

I've bought a couple of Radiolinks since you turned me on to them. The only addition is like to see on the proposed "Crawler Spec" model is a momentary 3 way toggle switch for winch control. I butchered my RC6 to add one.

I think Radiolink should also send you the RC8X.... it's another price range but seeing you test it would be very entertaining!

Very interesting video, thanks! I've been watching a few of these lately, since I'm looking for a new and affordable radio for my wrecker. One question remains. You talked about using the potentiometer on the side for rear steer. Does it have a middle point where it klicks/locks in? Cheers from Germany!

Love that new TX! Excited to hear more about the RC8. It's substantially more expensive, but may be worth it if is setup well for crawler rigs. Thanks much for all of your great videos.😊

I've got an honest 500m range out of my v2, its out of this world. I never have any concerns about the radiolink dropping into failsafe. Also I love equipment thats not to expensive to hand off to a kid or throw in a bag and not be concerned. To be honest this radio is almost purpose built for FPV. The mount on the top can be used for a little monitor and its one of the only pistol type transmitters with a head tracker port. Its the headphone looking type plug on the side near the power switch. I'd love to see more custom switches, dials, knobs hacked onto these, transmitter customizing needs to be more of a thing in rc.

love my rc6 v2 and just bit the bullet on the rc8 for moa crawlers tanks etc it makes rcing easy lol

Grewt job as always

Tranquish needs more servos! Perfect candidate for the RC6, lol.

New to the hobby, is there a way to set it up for parking lights and then all lights ? Love your content.

You should be able to shorten up the antennas, just cut them and remove the shielding at the end to have the proper length of antenna showing again. Easier said than done maybe but its a do-able thing. The length of antenna showing is pretty particular.

Hey man! First of all I want to say you’re the best. But I have one question for you that I think you can answer. Can you program on of the 3way switch to act like the original 3way on the TQI for the diff lockers? Because I want the other 3way switch for my winch 🙈😇 you think it’s possible with the mix?

i received a v3, looks good, but i dont know, cant find it, how to mix 2 esc's... i use normaly a flysky gt3b hacked radio and i mixed the drive and winch esc... so i can winch while i drive and give the winch more juice if needed , when the tires have grip, crawler move faster than the winch. do you know how i setup the settings on the rc6gsv3??

I have this radio and love it. Also have you ever used Crc Brake and caliper grease to grease your crawlers?

Sold.. i need that throttle curve on my old losi 1/18 trail trekker needs it the tiny hw esc i have does well olwith the hh 380 revolver but start up is sketch

Top 3 radios below 110$.What do you suggest?

Is the voltahe telemetry setting saved by the model in this v3? I have v2 and it has common setting for external voltage alarm. Not good if you have cars with different batteries.

I got the flysky GT5, had it not even a year and i am considering the radiolink rc6gsv3 radio. Partly mostly better switches for my use by the looks of it. And the fact i dont have to wait 4 weeks for an extra reciever to arrive as there is a hobbyshop in my country who stocks the RC6GS V3 and recievers. While the GT5 is very easy almost plug and play its got very little customizations, and the switch on thr handle its mode cant be changed from latching to momentary. Another difficulty on gt5 is the 3-pos switch is so stiff its hard in a competition mode with time stress to winch precisely. (My modded gt3c has a 3pos lever switch that centered itself when you released, made winching easy) I am curious how well RC6GS holdsnup to rain. Sometime it rains here and us scale crawling guys dont care about weather. Anothrr thought, rc6gs would be excellent on the summit, 2speed, lockable diffs front and rear

Yeah the speedometer could be out in your car or truck doesn’t work as long as you have a gas gauge and it works that’s all you need to know to get you home Yep sounds good to me 👍👍😁

TX question : I swapped the 1060 stock esc for the 1080. Calibrated and set it up. Very smooth. I have to remind myself it's not brushless so I maybe wanting the impossible but I thought I'd ask just incase. Using a stock 8 channel dumbo rc for the rgt challenger . Paired with 1080. I have maybe 1/8th inch of dead trigger before it engages but the esc whine is there. Can I get earlier response or is this nature of brushed. There's a few parameters I don't understand. I left all stock but turned the bec up. Is there something I can mess with to get a more early trigger response? If not she's good as is again I maybe getting greedy haha

Hey..where did you buy the steering rubber that u use on rc4gs??

That’s right 1:47

Radio Link has a great upgrade program for those with the V2. After all is said and done I think you end up paying half price for a V3 and keep your V2.

I’m doing a Tonka build and will be using a winch, 2 actuators for outriggers, 2 speed shift servo, and a boom lift servo or another actuator. My question is are the aux switches good for in/out/neutral positions?

I really wish RadioLink would make some race-style receivers without external antennas. Similar to the FlySky G4P

Do those radios not have model memory? Would think you could run 10 to 20 rigs w 1 remote

Is this the (v2) of the RC6GS v3? According to Amazon there is an updated version of the RC6GS v3

I’ll be inviting in one soon my Dx5 rugged is junk and in pieces

I wouldn't be mad at you for getting some ad money to help your channel.

So you're saying no raid shadow legends?

People don’t care how slow they can go all they care about is how fast it goes and how long the battery lasts

You do know that you can put more than one vehicle on each transmitter, right? Lol

GT5 is a total battery hog!

Thanks!
