rc6gs v2 setup review vs v2 for the best value rc car radios telemetry with gyro and channel mixing. Buy here at banggood www.banggood.com/Radiolink-RC... And: amzn.to/3Q0KXDB Flysky GT5 amzn.to/3OJzIOV Rc radios at amain alnk.to/4qHdGU8
I have v2 6gs with the 7ch reciever. Awsome radio I agree that it is bulky and not much to look at. But all the function is there. I learned something new I had no idea that my truck wouldnt run away while have multiple trucks on and paired at once. Thanks for keeping the channel going still learning everyday!
Recently purchased it and I like it a lot. Modded in a battery tray for three 18650 lithium ion cells, I had laying around from my vaping stuff and they last a very, very long time. Really happy with it. 😊
I bought this radio based on your V2 video. I love its nostalgic form factor. I find this radio very reliable. I use it on my CrossRC AT6 (which I also bought based off your AT4 review) and ZD Racing EX07. The accuracy is awesome and I recommend this transmitter/receiver to anyone. The antenna is bulky but it doesn't get in the way of my phone when its in the phone mount and the antenna is in the up position.
This is indeed an awesome radio, especially in the range departement! I am still amazed on how far I can go with it and the RSSI warning is also a plus. For the price, i can't recommend it enough. Thanks for the concise review!👍
Just ordered one today. I look forward to using it on my models that have multiple servos with different functions. Thanks for the review and the reviews that you have done. Great content for sure!
I had a fancy one but I switched to radio link been using it for 5 yrs on my remote lawnmower now I’m getting a new radio link there a good product for the money Thanks for the review
Awesome review as always, I have version 1 & 2 it only programs 10 cars each so I'm glad it can do 30 cars now, I don't like to have lots of transmitters, love the new features 🙏😎☮️✝️
Thanks for sharing. I just got into 1/10 scale drifting. I finally got all my components to assemble my car. As for transmitters, I was planning on getting a Spectrum G5 but heard about the Flysky Noble. It is a pricy unit. I did find and buy a Flysky Noble from Banggood. It was $185 free shipping as of 10/1/2023. So I bought it. I see neat stuff on it but I'll eventually see if it is good as it looks.
i have the version 3 after the trade in that radiolink has for its older models ( v2 ) and still can keep the olf old one ! and i must say i'm super happy with it, i drive a baja 5b petrol and the gyro is really comming in handy if i'm driving on dirt roads or grass.
Just bought mine last month, first Radiolink radio and it's a good radio, though they need to ditch the old folding antenna for a hard tail antenna! Other wise, this radio has insane range, and all the adjustment I'll ever use.
I'm very excited I ordered this video I have not got it yet so I seen the video and because the stock radios that I was getting with the couple of my vehicles did not have any range at all and I'm used to the old futaba never had issues until this new junk, can't even use the stock radio on rtr anymore, I won't mention names.
It’s the best all around radio you can buy. I have v2 on my crawlers, bashers and boats. It’s great for anything fast because you will never lose contact with the vehicle.
I recently bought one of these and I am so far very happy with it. Having battery telemetry and low voltage alarms make some of my older models run lipos with no worries. Also the micro receiver that they sell for under $20 is very nice for the 1/24 stuff that I occasionally run. Also the radio adjustable built in gyro is great for my slippery tire drift cars.
Great review. I love my V1 & didn't even know they now offer a V3. Could you do a video showing how to use the extra channels & how to set them for things like lights or winch or other accessories? Not sure when to use 3 position or momentary or On/Off settings, etc.
Currently using rc4gs and update firmware to rc6gs.. install 2 switch that rc6gs got...and there you go....a remote that's never fail doing what it's supposed to do... totally worth buying... thinking to upgrade to newer model...new cool stuff and function in the new models...... overall this is still a great remote to have... 👍👍🔥🔥...even futaba got lost signal problems..lol 🤣🤣
I got the v2 about 2 years ago. I got it for the range I can send my revo 3.3 out to, and for the 6 channels it has. I have remote start and stop on the 3.3 nitro. Other people at the park alway come to me to see what I got to get such distance on my revo.
Flysky suffers pretty badly in the range department. Mine would always lose reception in just couple hundred feet, if that. It would just stop and sit there til i walked closer then it would start reacting again
I currently using a GT5 and love it. Only issue is I'm not able to switch on the fly steering modes for 4wheeled steering vehicles. Like crabwalk, rear only, front only. With the gt5 I need to click through menus to make that change. Does this radio link V3 radio support on the fly 4wheel steering changes ?
Still usinh Flysky GT3B from 2 years ago, and it still great... I use it on my crawler RC, with upgraded firmware and the price is cheap, makes that Transmitter awesome for me, still not considering to buy another Transmitter...
I have no way to really set up the r7fg dual antennas up the way the manual says to, which is 90° apart. Is it okay to set them up next to each other? I don't need the full range, I'd expect it to still be fairly far even if they're next to each other.
I'm fairly new to the hobby and do have a RC4GS V2 and it has a Simulator Port. Do you know if it's even functional and what might be needed to actually use it? Thanks for sharing the newer RC6GS V3. I will probably get a 6GS V2 today as 2nd radio mainly for the fact that they are easy to use and really do well with all my cars. I'm just real interested in knowing about the sim port. Thanks again for this great review and as always you cover everything about rc products in such an easy way to understand. 👍
Your videos are awesome! You inspired me to get one. I just ordered one I'm having a problem with it, it will be fine then about every 10 or 15 times I hit the throttle nothing will happen then I'll let off hit it again and it will be fine? Anybody have any ideas?
I have a hobbywing 1080 and a FlySky gt3b and I can’t get it to work with the hobbywing 1080. Is this radio easy to setup to work with the hobbywing. I’ve set end points and all the recommended settings and no go. Reversed motor polarity no go. If you have a radio recommendation please let me know . Frustrated.
I agree it would be good to see an entirely new housing for this radio. I say they should adapt a housing similar to the now Defunt Nomadio React or even the Sensor, though the React with updated touch screen would be killer. Id buy one for 150 no problemo if they did that! I used to run JR/KoProCo and then Nomadio but got out in 2012. Since getting back in my V2 Radiolink is my GOTO radio. May grab a v3 just to have 2 (bought a V1 and upgraded to the v2 when it came out so sold the V1).
@@HBFTimmahh We have new high-end RC8X now. 8 channels, full color touch screen, 200 models memory and many advanced functions, more details, go to our website: www.radiolink.com/rc8x
I have the V2 and it's good value especially the receiver battery and ship battery voltage telemetry which is great for crawlers that have hours of run time which can be monitored on the transmitter itself. Had a few problems with the V2 though that bugged me which I hope V3 has ironed out. First of all the V2 although it had an low voltage alarm, did not have low voltage protection for lipo or idle alarm. So if you forget to switch off the transmitter the transmitter will operate past the low TX voltage alarm till the batteries are dead and if your using lipo batteries this would quickly destroy them. Also found the steering center moves after a bit of use because the potentiometer itself moves inside it's enclosure. Can be fixed if you hot glue the potentiometer in place. The issues made me invest on a Futaba 4PM at triple the cost just works every time no real complaints after 5 months casual use except the stock battery holder is an odd 3 cell AA dry battery only! If you want to use NiMH rechargeable you will need to buy optional 4 cell AA holder and hack the battery bay because of the low voltage limit is set too high for NiMH 3 cell; or off course get the proprietary Life battery.😜
I've wanted the feature to be able to have 1 transmitter control more than one vehicle and be able to switch between them without powering off...that's great!
Hi, RC6GS V2 and RC6GS V3 both have this function on menu ID SEED, you could switch your car power, but only can sent 10 cars, here is the video link to check: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dp6DriYgUhw.html
One Antenna is for Outgoing signal to the rx, the other is for the Telemetry to read the info coming back on RX pack voltage, EXT Voltage (External Pack) so it has 2 voltage alarm settings for the RX battery/s, signal strength etc.
Hi, two of antennas can be output singal and telemery information, they are same, but if you use 2 of them, the signal must be stronger than only one antenna. Telemetry range and control range are same.
V2 has 7cnl as well as Telemetry on it with them. Thats what I currently run. The biggest diff in V2 and V3 is the 30 model memory (though it looks like you still have only 10 rxs capable with different memory banks on each to make up the 30 capable cars according to what I read). My V2 gets almost 1/4 mile. I have a 3s pack in it.
Ive been on sanwa for a while, mainly because I got an MT-s and MT4 for a good deal way back when. Now Im invested. I do really like the look of the Noble as well as that furitek radio system. Honestly though, I've been super disappointed in the tech and price of surface radios after diving down the rabbit hole of fpv drones. On that side of things for $150 you get a radio that has a range measured in miles, 16 channels, fully upgradable and programmable beyond belief, and a radio link thats faster than anything else, rechargeable lipo built in, and hall sensor inputs. Ive been dreaming of an open source ELRS based surface radio project for a minute now, along with an equally well equipped esc+rx control board on the vehicle side of things.
2 года назад
I have had the same dream for that surface radio for years. I am still waiting.. 9+ channel, open os that is updatable, good screen with clear menus, module for different protocols, reasonable priced receivers. I think the problem is other radio manufacturers don't see $$ to be made in an upscale surface radio market that's controlled by spektrum (not really upscale), Sanwa, and Futaba. Nearly every rc car is now a rtr with a controller, and unless those buyers buy multiple cars they don't care about another radio. And typically they get a radio from the brand car they are buying... Horizon vehicles = (spektrum) even though most horizon vehicles don't have real spektrum compatible receivers, Traxxas = Traxxas radio with plugin that allows multi models on a radio. The Chinese brand stuff is typically not compatible with anything or has combined esc receivers which means trash all the electrics, so just use what it comes with. Buyers that buy race cars (not bashers) will most likely only buy Sanwa or Futaba. For us that don't want to drop $80 to 100 on each receivers, want a radio that looks good, feels goods, has a nice menu system, and can do anything.... We have to give up something because it doesn't exist. The flysky Noble is probably the closest thing but the built in battery is a no go, and lack of modules mean at some point it will be left behind. I would keep using my ancient Futaba 3pks with a fasst module but the cheap clone receivers have become impossible to find, or they falsely claim they work for fasst C1 modules. I gave up and got a radiolink V3 just because of the radio price, receiver price, model memory, and more than 5 channels. The screen and menu system are beyond ancient (my 20yr old Futaba is better) but at least i will not have a fortune in it if the dream radio ever become reality.
@ well put. Ultimately I feel like my dream radio and control system would totally have to be a community based project like am32, elrs, openvtx, or opentx. I feel like Im just going to have to wade in and diy something. Hack up a betafpv lite radio, then build an adafruit feather based controller that piggybacks an am32 esc and elrs rx. Its all doable I just need to find the brain space to figure it all out :/
ok i have a quick Q if u can answer it? I have the RC6GS v3 radio and i bought the radiolink alloy steering wheel and only thing i'm having issues with it come with 2 screw's one is slightly bigger then the other and i'm not sure why 2 screw's came with this updated wheel when only 1 screw was holding on the stock wheel, no instruction's or anything came with it, can't find on site i bought from or on radiolink's main site about this second screw and i don't want to put the wrong one into the radio and possibly strip out the socket the screw go's into to hold the wheel on. any idea why the updated alloy wheel that works with rc6gs or the new model rc8x.
I'd maybe consider buying one if the included telemetry cable was XT90 but for whatever reason they seemingly only sell it supplied with XT60 connectors.
Is there any information on the speed of the transmitter? I have an older Spektrum DX 2.0 which notes - : The DX2.0 operates in 16.5ms frame rate. I assume the Radio Link would be faster however was hoping to get some precise numbers. Thanks
Don't feel outdated you'll be glad to have it believe me you'll probably need version 3 Anyway. I have both and I use the v1 for my cheaper trucks and v3 for my Nice rigs. 🙏😎☮️✝️
Thanks for sharing the information. I have an old Spectrum with the same kind of antenna. I have never broken it. In fact the Radiolink looks like an older Spektrum radios. It has some great features for the price. I have never had a receiver with two antenna wires. What do you do with the two antenna wires when you install the receiver in the car?
Glad it helped. The two antenna wires can be extended in different directions if one wants the full 600m range. Otherwise, not a big deal where they're placed.
@@Radiolink_official what is the latency rating on this radio? Curios because I would be using this in a racing environment with high speed high voltage digital servos.
Nice presentation! I have a question please, does anybody knows how to connect to a simulator? Which usb dongle we need? Any rc car game? Thank you in advance.
I sure would like to know how to set the end points for steering with the flip of a switch. I was on a forum where a Radiolink tech was helping people and he said it couldn't be done. The tech guy might even have been the owner or designer of Radiolink. In one part of your vid. you state it can be done. Thankyou
Hi, RC6GS V3 support switch to flip end points, you could go to menu EPA to set a switch for flip. We also have dual rate funtion, you could set 1 channel as 2 different value and set a switch to change them.
@@RCReviewChannel yea they need to change some setup features programming wise but once you figure it out its so capable and the 8ch rx has even more range but the id seed is the bomb, can drive all your rc on the tx without toching the model. And i also run crossfire with it. But i like pulling my sonic wake with my gen 8 to the creek back in the water drive the boat come back load on trailer and drive away not once touching either rc just turn them on. Soon i will have internet and post some vids. Tanks escavators etc this radio does it all.and yes i wish they just made it the 8 ch. The quality is in function and range.and its by far the most capable tx
Haha, we have new high-end RC8X now, you no need waiting for V4 version. 8 channels, full color touch screen, 200 models memory and many advanced functions, more details, go to our website: www.radiolink.com/rc8x
@@levethane Hello, sir. The price is based on the quality and function. You may check the function of RC8X, which is very powerful. But it depends on your needs. If you want more functions in your transmitter, you may have a try.
2 things i dont like about my gt5 is 7.4 volt limit on the receivers wish they would least do 10v and the peracetic power draw on the transmitter when turned off
@@RCReviewChannel yup I put a full 2s lipo in and if I leave it plugged in for 2 days it will drop to 7.8v so when I'm not using i unplug the lipo I've tried multiple lipos thinking it was those nope and it even does it with double A batteries....bet yours does it cause mine isn't the only one theres multiple people experiencing the issue
The perfomance and feature set is great , but the formfactor/ergonomics are horrible . If they could do a redesign of the ergonomics and maybe upgrade to a better screen and still stay close to the $100 price point then they would have a truly game changing radio . That being said , even with they poor formfactor/ergonomics , its still probably the best value for a newbie or somebody wanting to upgrade from an rtr . jmo , just sayin
Absolute BS IMO. loads of software features they can easily add to V2 they just keep for V3; genuinely all this has from what I can gather they couldn't add through an update is the capacity to store more vehicles. Honestly this release genuinely has me on the lookout for either some FlySky, or inexpensive Spektrum stuff if I can find it. I have Radiolink receivers in all six of my RC's, so; great job you fools.
