Head-to-head: Flysky/Turnigy/Redcat FS-GT5 vs. Radiolink RC6GS 

Hey man, i'm new to this rc game, and seems like every question i ask google, you've got a very informative video answer for! Thank you! Keep up the good work and hello from Chicago!

Great review!, I've used both and agree totally..I can't believe I've never crawled yet with my Radiolink...Thanks for suggestion...next project :)

Your conclusion really helpful for me to choose..thx

very appreciated review. subscribed

just got a rc6gs for my summit for the switches alone. probably would have gone with the flysky otherwise, but using dials would just annoy the crap outta me lol. helpful video going through all the tech and the prices of the receivers too, as I will also be running it in my slash 4x4.

GT5 sold me because if you're into building rock crawlers, the jog wheel gives you instant access to 4-wheel steering straight out of the box. Just hook up the rear servo to channel 3 on the RX, then twirl the TX jog dial to access the CRAWLER menu and.... voila.... you immediately get access to 4 new steering modes. No fiddling, no faffing about with funny hacks or complicated stuff. Don't think you can find this feature elsewhere at the same price point. It's well built given the price, it doesn't creak, it isn't bulky and it simple to use. The NB4 Noble is far superior with its metal construction, but since I rock crawl just for shits and giggles I really can't justify coughing out out the extra dough for advanced features I won't use. I own both the Radiolink AT10-II and Flysky NV14 Nirvana radios, and the positive experience I gained from flying my drones with the Flysky led me to buy the GT5.

I currently own the Radiolink RC4GS and haven’t had any problems with it. Pros for me are it’s ability to use a 7.4v 20C 1000mAh Lipo battery instead of the 4 AA batteries. Just remove and unplug the battery tray, plug in the Lipo battery (uses the same type 2-pin connector as the battery tray and Velcro the Lipo battery so it will be secure inside the compartment. It has an unbelievable signal range. I have yet to run my Landslide XTE to a distance where it lost the radio signal. Very responsive even at a great distance. Only con I have is the fold-down/up antenna. I’m afraid I’m going to break it off. Awesome comparison video! I realize everyone has their own opinions and when I watch videos like these, I look at the explanation of features and the designs. It’s up to the person purchasing what they like/dislike. Enjoyed your video. 😉👍

Great review

Thank's for the Information and Awesome Comparison for these 2 different brand's... Have 3 Radiolink Transmitter/Receiver's (2) 6 channel and (1) 4 channel and can honestly say that the customer service is excellent for the Radiolink RC6GS and RC4GS but I have noticed that when using them in Crawler's sometimes the Scale brake doesn't work right away on the RC6GS-V2 it's like the trigger has a major delay although I've checked all the throttle settings and found nothing to help with the neutral setting...so now I'm waiting on my Flysky FS5GS 6 Channel to come from Amazon (just under $65) to test it out... I'm like you with the 3 position switches on the Radiolink RC6GS and that's what sold me on them plus the updates available on the firmware ... ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🌟 RCF4L 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend

Good honest review. A couple of things though is the Flysky has a 20 model memory, not 10, and also they now have a manual on their website. The Radiolink does have quite a few features for the price point though. In the end I went for the Flysky because I cants stand the feel of cheap plastics, and it has all the features that I would ever use racing, bashing or crawling without being over complicated. It feels like a much more expensive radio in my hand and is very well balanced. Thanks for the review, you did a great job!

urggh ... I wanted to push the transmitters left back to the centre of the frame lol. Excellent review and V helpful video. Thanks. I had been thinking of getting one of these.

great video. Thnx.

There is a manual online for the GT5 I have it printed out. Plus I got a full manual in the box with mine

Do you have problem with steering angle on rc6gs ... I tried it on my buggy and it was steering wide even on 120% ... no problem with my mt4

I use the FS-GT5 as the RTR controller that came with my Axe, Buying a second setup for my Hobbywing EZRun 18A Sensorless Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (18.0T/5200kV) I am Modding my SXC 24 Deadbolt "Grim Hammer" with.

So i just got this today. Super satisfied with it. I have a GT3C and i can say the latency on the GT5 is waaay faster and better than GT3C.

Ive got the flysky fs-gt5 and was going to get the radio link cus it was similar but radio link is cheaper, but did end up with the flysky cus I also have the gt3c and had no issues so thats why I went with the gt5

And is there a chance to are a comparison review of this radios with the dx5c from Spektrum or same products from Futaba and Sanwa or Graupner?

According to the manual, the radiolink has it loaded on the radio... I have not seen it myself, but the manual did point it out.

Would like to see a racers opinion on the new flysky Noble nb4

If u were gonna use one on a drag raced rc car which would u use? I know u said radio link had more throttle settings. We cant use gyros in street eliminator but throttle controls for launch an not kicking donuts an flipping 12 times would be nice. Which would u suggest? Thanks for ur time !

I've been eyeballing the Radiolink RC6GS. I recently got a Redcat Gen8 and the radio that comes with it is horrible, so looking to upgrade + I want more channels so I can control lights, winch, etc. The only thing holding me back from ordering is, I don't live near any hobby stores so can't get a hands-on so have to buy online. I right hand throttle / left hand steer and tip my radio 90 degrees to the left so it's horizontal rather than vertical, and from looking at photos and videos I'm not sure if the RC6GS is going to be comfortable and usable that way.

Bought myself a DumboRC X6 and I'm totally in love with it. Yeah, the brand name sucks, but hell for 35 bucks you get: 5 channels, + extra gyro channel, receiver with gyro. It's amazing. Completely reliable too.

in terms of gyro performance and reliability , which one should i get ?

If you are using the radiolink with TRX4 how you have setup the buttons ? Specially the differential locks I am curious weather I can mix channels and use one of the 3 position triggers to work exactly as the stock TQI radio ?

Yeah, I bought the FS-GT-5 and it was delivered yesterday. If you could put the innards of the Radiolink into the GT-5, perhaps you would get a really great radio. What do you think Razor RC???

Can I bind flysky receiver with turnigy gt5 radio or viceversa?

Can you tell me if your opinion has changed now in 2023 with the latest versions of both of these radio systems? I want to buy one or the other and I'm firmly on the fence. Its for my new Arrma Typhon 3S BLX, but will also be used going forward with other surface vehicles, likely built from kits. Any further insights now would be appreciated. Thanks for making honest and frank reviews without any marketing spin. It allows me to actually believe what you say!

How much range did you get with the flysky?

I'll be modding my radiolink by moving the antenna off the top and on the front face, similar to the flysky antenna position.

Which one better for baja?

Guys, the Rariolink has a killer feature for boats. That is the telemetry with integrated sensors on the receiver. Long range + integrated telemetry and sensors: boaters:wow

Good night, what range does this radio reach?fs gt5

I've just been looking to unify my rc cars with the one radio system, I think you've convinced me on the radiolink. Is it worth spending the money on the 6ch version over the 4ch version?

The rc6gs was the only one I could find with a distance rating. 600m. Not sure about the other one. My plan is to go fpv so I want as far as I can.

Having my eye on a gt5 or the noble but friends who race say that the fly sky radios response is slow and they who tested it on the track was actually between half a second to a second and a half slower on their lap times compared to the futaba and Sanwa radios.. In your experience are they telling the truth?

Hey whats the range on the flysky

I have the fs gt5 so I’m curious about what you say

just orderd the gt5 for only 60€ for my wltoys k989 because i am upgrading it to a rocket bruschless system and whanted a system with a gyro in it. cant wait till everthing arrives. it is a 1/28 scale drifter that i set up with a fpv system to race against freinds. we call it mini fpv car racing. if you whant to see what my projekt will look like, i will upload a totorial and a race video. razor rc thanks fore the review, it helped me a lot to deside wich one is better for my projekt.

your video reviews for each controller only link to the rc6gs review

Great review man! The ending points are great about comparing the 2 to iPhone and Android. Also basher vs crawler!

I am looking for this style of transmitter, but with a 10 channel set up! Any recommendations?

I have a question about the gt5. Is the Redcat, tringy and flysky receiver compatible.. if I got a flysky can I use the tringy or redcat gyro receiver.

Get both. I use my flysky for bashing and my radiolink for speed runs

Does anyone know if I can bind a Flysky GT5 remote with a Flysky FS-R4P reciever that comes with the EMB-T?

after my dx3r died , i went for the gt5 , couldn't get used to it as far as getting my cars to drive , missing apexes getting on throttle out of turns etc , the rc6 v3 is for me and i suspect any legacy dx3r user ,the better choice . as ever this is a preference thing based on what you are used to .

Great vids,you do a great review,I listen carefully to you,thanks alot👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥and your not a s__thead

Thanks for nice video.So you recommend for TRX-4 more Radiolink like Flysky?I wanna upgrade my radio.Thank you

so, i'm looking for one radio to rule them all...ok just a Slash 4x4 and TRX4. the slash has all of the telemetry, voltage, temp, speed. I have not seen with either of these radios the ability to integrate sensors. Ideally I'd like to get one of these to have all of telemetry sensors for the slash, and all of the rock crawling switches for the TRX4. Have you seen anything about the sensors for either of these radios?

Not a tie on Battery. The Flysky can only do 6v. so if you use a 2s Lipo, you'll need to use a 6v BEC. The radiolink will accept a 4s Lipo right out of the gate.

Hello! Im wondering which of the radios have better response times? Reacts faster? Thank you!

I don't love iphones anymore, but I'll be buying the GT5. WHAT ARE THE RESPONSE TIMES THOUGH?

I was so torn between the 2... I am one of those who asked. lol. I ended up going with the Radiolink RC6GS as it dropped to about 70$ CAD so about 50USD. I may still get the FLYSKY though and use both. I am quite techy and am an Android guy so another reason I chose the Radiolink. I love to mess with things and customization is a plus. I also wanted a radio that I could use for my basher and I plan on getting a crawler so it was the best choice for me. Thanks for doing this sir

Absolutely spot on analogy with the iphone - android comparison Update: the gt5 is disappointing, only good thing about it is looks and ergonomics, everything else: radiolink; better usability and navigation through the system, more intuitive, wide range of compatible lipos, far more functions IF you need them, if not they dont get in the way, insane range, customizable buttons, trigger tension adjustments, all their receivers are rated for up to 10V and send telemetry back to the radio (lipo voltage, rx voltage and rssi signal strength) without any hassle for the user… To put it simply (and Im a HUGE fan of flysky and own 4 of their radios) the Gt5 feels like it is from the 20th century compared to the Rc6gs v2…

How does this compare to the $100 plus radios you already did reviews on?? Love your channel man!!!!

I chose to get the RadioLink RC6GS because it claimed a range of 600 meters and I am building a WLTOYS 124018 buggy with FPV so I thought this having telemetry (RSSI, battery voltage...) would be a great radio. My disappointments: 1- Physical issues: - Radio looks and feels cheap in the hand, plastic feels flimsy, its grip is thin and has no rubber or anything, my plain simple Spektrum DX2E is by far more ergonomical, better built and feels good in the hand. - The DSC plug was off center which looked ugly and there was a large piece of dirt/crap was lodged under the screen glass and there were fingerprints under the glass. So, upon receipt of the radio I had to disassemble it, resolder the DSC connector on the board properly so its hole gets aligned with the hole in the radio body and disassembled the screen to wipe it properly and remove the dirt! 2- Functional issues: - Most disappointing functionality lack for me is the absence of a steering dual rate knob/button. i.e. there is a steering dual rate function in the menu, but you set it and it remains fixed, there is no knob or button to adjust the steering dual rate on the go which is very important to me, during speed runs I lower the rate and when I want to do offroad, more steering is always helpful. - There is no Timer function. - The telemetry car battery voltage reading is off by 0.25 volts. This is sad and unfortunate and now I am looking at getting rid of this radio especially after reading a lot of forums where everybody says the same things and apparently RadioLink don't care about their customers' feedback and won't be doing anything to resolve that. Also if you watch some youtube reviews on this radio, they are all good and positive, typical of paid commercials...

I was also trying to decide between the 2 and went with the Flysky. Its great, but Im not used to how soft the steering wheel is to turn. Its almost to easy if that makes sense. Im sure I could take it apart and tighten the spring a bit, but not sure I want to. Anyone that has the Radiolink, hows the steering feel? Is it soft, too easy to turn, or just the right amount of tension? Thanks

Hey Razor do you still use the gt5?

👍

Great review! 👍 Rich from Driftomaniacs stated the Radiolink can do a range distance of 600 meters. 😳 Can the Flysky achieve a similar range?

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

flysky feel so good in quality compare to radiolink. but radiolink is more tunable. is there a radio with both value?

Hi, and sorry for disturbing. I do have few questions for you: I've got a Kyosho Blizzard RTR and a CC-01 Pajero kit. For those, I acquired the Flysky Gt-5 with a BS-6 receiver included. How can the gyro be deactivated on the BS-6.receiver? Is the bs-6 receiver waterproof/splashproof? Also, in the case of the RadioLink, are the Kyosho FHSS receivers compatibile with the RC6GS radio? I am asking this questions in the eventuality of compatibility between RadioLink and Kyosho which would make me taking into consideration the acquire of the RC6GS for the Blizzard, and keeping the GT5 for the CC-01 and other wheeled models. Thank you!

Oh and FLYSKY FS-GT5 is on the internal site but not on the US site. I had the same issue however I found the info on the International site. I meant to tell you on the last video but forgot. Check it out

The turnagy gt5 has a battery alarm not programmable though

🌟Amazing review🌟, RAZOR RC has THE 👍🏼👍🏼BEST REVIEWS!! I Really hope much more people will watch your awesome work on your reviews. Just take a moment to watch this video and you will see that Razor RC has the best reviews you can find on the internet!!! I would like it if you could please pin this comment so that more people can see that you are one of the best reviewers out there. Greetings from the Netherlands! MacSpacey out!!!

Out of the radios you have, what one do you prefer?

Do you notice any interference with their frequency as one uses FHSS the other AFHDS 2A is one much better than the other? Thanks.

The gt5 just looks so much nicer

Do they have a fail safe built in?

What about distance ??? Speed runs what's a good radio? Thanks

Bro which controller can connect to any brand of radio RECEIVER?

Great explanatory video, however the Radiolink is a brand with very good electronics and is much better than the Flysky. I have the Radiolink in a 1/8 Sumit traxxas and it works excellent.

Rc newbie here. Do you still have to put in a crystal for these to work?

I love the new fly sky it's over 50% aluminum and has a touch screen witch is color and movable steering wheel for left and right handed use.

Fs Gt3b all the way

Shame he didn’t test the range properly the fly sky was at its limit at 236 metres going on others that tested it which is very close to his test in yards. The radio link is known for it range of 400 metres (440 yards)

Lol also waterproof I left mine sitting in the rain for a day,still working great💪👍👍

I have the gt3b flysky barely used it, turned out to be junk. Bought the fs-gt5 love the features and adjustments was great for racing but, barely used it off and on over a 6 month period and it has already quit working. My advice by something else besides flysky!

Gt5 don’t have long range. I have two for all my 8 cars. It can a only about 100m not 200m.

The radio link looks like it was designed by a brick designer.

Both wer free.. must be nice!! I paid for my GT5

It's gonna be the GT5 for me. 1. I don't need all of that fancy stuff that the radiolink has. 2. The radiolink is so ugly... 3. You can also use other cheaper flysky recievers with the GT5.

stay away from the radiolink rc6gs

Having my eye on a gt5 or the noble but friends who race say that the fly sky radios response is slow and they who tested it on the track was actually between half a second to a second and a half slower on their lap times compared to the futaba and Sanwa radios..
