Awesome FS-GT3B Digital 3ch 2.4ghz LCD Transmitter & Receiver

[Myglowplug]

mine is on its way ! how can I change the color of the casing , nothing wrong with black , I just like the color blue ?

[BashMonkeyRC]

@Myglowplug if you're ok with voiding any warranty you may have on this radio, carefully take it apart until there's only the outer casing and follow this video:

/watch?v=dMk9O1fZ3Vg

sure its for an xbox controller but its along the same lines.

[streetfighter398]

So if you already have a electric car. Do you need a external battery to power the receiver.

Please help.

[warrantfan96]

@streetfighter398 for the initial binding process you do, but when your running your veihcial it runs off the battery pack in the car.

[xZoMbIeSx27]

help i put a stick up my ass and i cant get it out ? help!

[littlejoes69]

There isnt any trouble shoot there. the systme was able to bind. In my vxl cars everything is fine and the trims are at o for both. When I pair with my dynamite fuze 6800 kv systme it is binded but does not work right. The throttle trim has to get put to b 30 and does not opperate correct. How do I fix this problem. I bought this system for my tc4 with the fuze 6800 kv and with that car it isnt working.

[littlejoes69]

hey help please I ordered this part there is no dvd in the box I tried to put this system in my tc4 with a fuze 6800kv system, I am not able to get it to function correctly. I put it in my vxl cars and all is good but with the fuze systm it keeps reading that b30 is at 0 and it will not let me use the trottle

[nitrorcx]

@littlejoes69 The manual for the item is listed in the link under the description, check it out and see if it helps.

[ashc8907]

I highly recommend this system i use it in my revo 3.3 and i have not problem taking it 150 yards away with no glitching no delays no problemms what so ever. i also own a futaba 3pm 2.4ghz i had on my revo but removed it for 1 reason ths low battery indicator doesent beep till 8volts which is to late mine hite 8volts and my revo never came back 40 mph into a block wall luckly only broke front diff case 15 dollar fix.

[ashc8907]

@ashc8907 The Flysky Gt3B low battery indicator beeps at 9volts which is plenty of time to finish the tank and bring your model in.

[THCmuzicalmasta]

@ashc8907

well im sure such a serious RCer like yourself would of had as standard on all models a fail safe , loss of signal means instant brakes on full ..........and there is no fail safe built into these flysky recievers ? pretty shit if there is and it didnt work.......mtronics mini water proof fail safe at £8 GBP have never failed me yet and i use one regardless to the built in one my spectrum dx3.0

[Kitegent]

Will the receiver work with Futaba servos?

[Nitroheadfool]

Thnx this vid helped a ton...

[erevofreak96]

my freinds gonna get one for hishb d8t when he gets it... hes gonna get a servo from u guys 2

[SoleForSOULS]

my receiver is blown, so can i use another receiver for it? i have a xy3000 fhss 2.4 GHz 3ch receiver

[nitrorcx]

@SoleForSOULS it should be able to work with another flysky receiver

[ramtrix]

Can someone help me?

I just got my new FS-GT3B Digital 3ch 2.4ghz LCD Transmitter.

Why is the throttle working as a steering wheel?

Any ideas? thanks.

[nitrorcx]

@ramtrix most likely you plugged the Throttle in the wrong port, try another port

[ramtrix]

@nitrorcx yes,, thank you I figured that today and I was going nuts with the remote.

Thanks for your help. have a happy Thanksgiving.

[BashMonkeyRC]

@ramtrix if your throttle is working as steering then you most likely plugged your servo into channel 2. Channel 1 is for steering and channel 2 is for throttle. Be sure you plug your steering servo into the channel 1 port (Ch1) and the ESC into the channel 2 port (Ch2).

[landshark501]

how adjustable is the 3rd channel? 2position or 3?

[BashMonkeyRC]

@landshark501 just 2 position. its a toggle switch.....

[Epicstory1994]

Hi does the fail safe work on electric ?

[marcuskeeler]

I still feel it's too early in the game to be paying such a small amount of money for a radio. You have to remember that feature sets cost nothing these days, you need to be thinking as hard about build quality. These, like the hobbyKing offerings, look good on paper but they are seriously NASTY things in the hand and will not put up with any level of abuse.

[neversurdender]

@marcuskeeler Watch ultimatercnetworks review on this he said he liked it more then trasmitter that was 3times the price i think

[warrantfan96]

@marcuskeeler yeah but its only 40 usd so if it does brake your only out 40 dollars so u can buy another one. And receivers are only 8 usd so yeah i mean for for the price u can't go wrong

[party5225]

Can this radio system work for the Traxxas Bandit XL-5.

[legoliker7517]

@party5225 definitely

[McConstruction1]

@party5225 duhh!!! yes

[erinpath]

@McConstruction1 h

[c4pt1n54n0]

i sure as hell cant believe the price!!! i was about to buy a 2 channel with no screen and running AM for like $80! i can buy almost 3 of these with that money!!!! DAMN

[ScooteringRC]

Can you put it on a traxxas car?

[legoliker7517]

@ScooteringRC yes, definitely

[MrJustinTechno]

Does that work with sky lipo batterys ? the green ones

[blanco325]

How do you use the third channel to control leds?

[losiboy454]

Does it have a channel 3?

[losiboy454]

Robertangkah, no unless it still works afterwords then it doesnt matter

[robertangkah]

is it ok when the receiver gets wet?

[GRT22KID]

wood this work with the e revo brushless edition?? it has 2 steering servos, and the esc. would it work

[kizl3t]

great video, just ordered it. thanks

[350zvj]

FAILSAFE?

[Jgx3]

does it have failsafe?

[350zvj]

@Jgx3 ... page 24 of the manual.

[nerdyrcdriver]

but from hobby king there is more expensive shipping. Hobbypartz and nitrorcx have free shipping for anything over $5. They also have great customer service if something does happen to go wrong. Something I noticed was he was saying gt3b even though he was talking about the origional gt3 to compare it to the gt3b

[karzygijose]

@nerdyrcdriver not no more i sent 200 + 399 and i had to pay 89.99 for shipiing

[kill4kill2kil]

the gt3b is 30 dollar at hobbyking(dot)com

[edgeduderocks]

This was well worth buying. I just got one and its great. Thanks for the video.

[Andy4rc]

will this work for 4 wheel steering? please answer back

[lilmorris656]

will this tell u like ur speed and ur motor temp

[c4pt1n54n0]

@lilmorris656 well first off you need something to measure those things in your car, (a tach, maybe a thermo probe?) if you do, then still no, a TRANSMITTER TRANSMITS data, it doesn't RECEIVE data

[lilmorris656]

will this work for the beginner madfire rc nitro will everything work perfect like the reciever wont burn cause its the wrong one will it please answer back

[elbergron]

how many positions to ch 3?

[mrjdgates]

Have it, works great.. note when buying ....buy extra receivers ...cuz it will hold up to 10 models..

[darrenshan300]

what do u think is better this or the fs gt3?

[brushless55]

thank you!

I just bought one a couple days agao with a lot of extra receivers!!

[1521joe]

Why Not talk about the important this about this radio?

what frequency technology is it using?

DSM1? DSM2?

all 2.4ghz radios have a host of features, but the most important feature is the radios frequency transmiting technology, DSM1-DSM2-DSMJ....ETC..ETC

this review is for newbs who know nothing, the transmiting technology is what diferentiates a cheap ass set from a high dollar set., all the features in the world mean nothing

[rc18trocks]

is it the same as the hobby king version? be honest

[masterhacker1989]

HEY NITRORCX LEARN HOW TO KEEP ITEMS IN STOCK, 1/2 OF YOUR STUFF IS OUT OF STOCK

[1521joe]

@masterhacker1989

uhauhau:)

correct

ps, this radio is cheap ass, you dont want this man.

[fulybuilt]

my fsgt3b works great have 3 cars i run with it the only problem is i have lights on my sc10 but can seem to get the 3rd channel to turn them on and off i tried plugging the leds into the other 3rd channel ports on my other fs recievers and it it powers the lights but no ability to turn them on and off am i doing somnthing wrong im new to led wiring any help would be greatly apprecieated!

[MultiJosh1986]

hello, i am very interested in buying one of these systems. i have been searching around for a while now trying to get some info on the third channel since finding it. is it just a 2 position switch or can this be used as a 3 position switch? theres not much info about the third channel. it seems like the perfect radio system though. thank you kindly. greatly appreciated

[MrKrillen]

hey Boby i need you to tell me when are you not going to be out of stock on this prodruct plzzz responce???/

[1521joe]

looks cheap ass.

this is a $2 radio

[rc18trocks]

@1521joe if jr or spectrum came out with this you wouldn't be saying that since the price tag would be 300+

[1521joe]

@rc18trocks

hi

if jr or spektrum came out with this, i would laugh my head off and go and buy a Sanwa instead.

[rc18trocks]

@1521joe that is also true :p

[1521joe]

@rc18trocks

its only when people learn about the important things, then realize what a good set from a cheap set is.

dsm1 is ok but dsm2 is better, or better still is dsmj, this so called new radio is not realy new, only the external shell is new, but inside are old school, cheap ass old time tech. trust me on this.

dont ever think for a minute you will be happy with this set.

do some research, then you will see

[rc18trocks]

@1521joe oh im not doubting your knowledge, you've been into this hobby longer than i have

[1521joe]

@rc18trocks

well, i may or may not have been in the hobby longer than you, but the point im making is, folks need to look through the bullshit and see an item for what it realy is, thats all im saying

[rc18trocks]

@1521joe i've only been in it for five years :s and yea ur right, i like ur vids too, subbed :)

[1521joe]

@rc18trocks

much appreciated

sincere thanks

[TheABSoLooT1]

I got this radio in the mail today. and i couldnt be more happy. i own an older futaba, and the steering and throttle feels the EXACT same, but...this radio feels more sturdy! my futaba feels more lose, granted its old too but its never been droppd or anything. for someone who isnt in the RC world, u could tell em this is the most expensive radio and they would believe u by the looks of it. One of my fav looking, and... i got it more cuz the price is unbeliavble good.

[Electroz89]

NitroRCX, Can you adjust the EPA through this radio? does it have an EPA knob or option through the menus?

[eXBTLegends]

Mine didnt come with the DISK WTF!!!!!!!!!! I dont know where it is i watched this video b4 i opened it so i was careful for what to watch for and it wasnt in there!

[Mr3deezy]

@eXBTLegends I bought this transmitter 2 weeks ago an mine didnt have the disk either !!

[nicholas2090]

wen will you be geting some in iv been wating for ever but cane to tell me so ican get one

[merrell89]

were could i get the charge cord for this

[biped19]

Granted this transmitter was made in a Chinese sweatshop, but still. Can a company like futaba justify a price tag of $400-500 U.S. for a transmitter!? futaba for over a decade now has been nickle and dimming the R/C end user. Their top of the line transmitters do not even have color OLEDs and touch interface. Total ripoff, and I don't want to hear any of the fan boys justify it.

[MrDavidfuchser]

@biped19 my sentiments exactly. Considering how big of a business hobby grade toys are, it's about time someone to make it affordable for the working class.

[biped19]

@MrDavidfuchser

Your right. This isn't R/C of the 1980s when people were just getting into it. Today it is huge a business. Companies like futaba are diversified into industrial applications. Even though R/C is a smaller segment of their business they still have he capability to offer top quality at a reasonable and competitive price. Every new transmitter they release is just a new body and some new bells and whistles thrown in, wow. futaba took forever adopt 2.4ghz, so much for innovation.

[venquessa]

@biped19 Not just Futaba. Spektrum are at it too. The DX3E for example is more expensive than the Flysky (also sold as an Annsman W6), but has far, far less features and... to be honest, it's not exactly better quality either!

[biped19]

@venquessa

Absolutely. I may be picking on futaba a little more, because they are the one of the big dogs, but your right.

What I'm saying may be misconstrued as "whining", but it's not. Just accepting less and less is a loser's game. I own a 3PJS and love it. I used to look at it from time to time and considered upgrading. But, I always wind up saying to myself: "I have a great transmitter that takes FM, PCM and Spektrum. Why would I get rid of the versatility? I even like the feel better.

[TheABSoLooT1]

@biped19 U are dead on in your comment, I think futaba is chinease as well, and there is no way such a good product could be offered so inexpensive without 3rd world wages. You absolutly right, futaba is slackn off, and totally nickle and diming for sure.

[MrCohibaboy]

@biped19 yeah true and spot on i was gonna get a $350 spektrum but after seeing this i dont think ill spend that , this radio does all the same shit , electronics are electronics at the end of the day its got a brand name on it and thats what your paying for , look how many years it took spektrum to make a 3ch with a backlight while they're peddling the same crap for years milking money , not to mention the SHIT dx3s they made that has countless problems .

[ants00]

when will they be back in stock!!!!

[supersanchez1991]

what is so special about 2.4ghz rc products, what does it mean? sorry if it is a dumb question i am new at this thank you. can i played the car on 2.4ghz with other cars with different frequency and with the same frequency

[Mikeinator12]

@supersanchez1991 hey man thats a good question for a beginner. i myself had to ask someone about this. all it is, is that it doesn't interfere with any other car frequencies. sooo this means that you can have many people running 2.4ghz without any interference. you can also pair the controller to any other 2.4ghz rc product.

[supersanchez1991]

@Mikeinator12 thank you for your time answering my question

[mxracer3651]

The expo on mine doesnt work right.. Can anyone test theirs to see the same? when i set + or - it works right for one direction but when you steer the other direction it has the opposite effect so its not built right i guess. Example: if i give it 50% expo to turn it should make it turn less responsive at the first 50% of the throw each way.. it works when you turn one way, but when you turn the opposite it will be wrong. it is MORE responsive barely turning and slow at full turn that way!

[TheBritinchina]

These things cost about 220 yuan here in china, which is about 20 pounds. Cheap and good

[blurblur77]

@TheBritinchina

Hi,where can I purchase this in China ? I travel often to Shanghai and Beijing.

Many thanks

Plse contact me at benzit77@yahoo.com.sg

[TheBritinchina]

I use this radio, its pretty cool and has long battery life.

[GJCrawler]

will this radio show the car's speed?

[traxxasmaxx33]

@GJCrawler No, it does NOT have telemetry.

[thatkidsmokin]

Has anyone got one of these? I was gonna buy a spectrum dx3e but i can buy 2 or 3 of these instead, im curious to know if they are any good i like it from the review anyway.

[TURBOVP1]

@thatkidsmokin yea man i got 1 in my 1/5 scale petrol car and its a great unit the controler feels good and i never loose signal! i would sugest 1

[SHYLUV87]

@TURBOVP1 is a electric drift RC brushed a good starter RC

[TURBOVP1]

@SHYLUV87 if your after 1 that will drift yes defently, but if your into dirt, fast and a bit of drifting i would go with a petrol

[beeball375]

what if your hillbilly and you dont have a computer  lol

[loco15912]

only $35.00 + shipping and handling

[yankphan100]

Why is the FS-GT3 twice the price of this new version ?? What size lipo will fit in the battery compartment ??

[esurfer26]

It will be great if they can make stick radio also.

[PROJ3KTJ30]

i could have just bought 2 of these for what i paid for my traxxas 2.4, that thing is a POS compared to this 

[poohtray]

@PROJ3KTJ30 Anything Traxxas is a POS.

[traxxasmaxx33]

@poohtray your an idiot

[poohtray]

@traxxasmaxx33 Idiots don't know the difference between "your" and YOU'RE. You ARE an idiot...You're an idiot.

Now that my spelling, grammar, and punctuation lesson is over; go learn to build an RC, and then I may actually respect YOUR RTR POS TRAXXAS BS.

[traxxasmaxx33]

@poohtray You stupid retard! I'll tell you right now, I'm a lot smarter than you are! And FYI I have built my own Rc's. I don't see any video's on YOUR channel about you building or reviewing ANY RC anything. So shut up and don't say anything untill you know what the heck YOU ARE talking about!!!!!!

[traxxasmaxx33]

@poohtrayYou stupid retard! I'll tell you right now, I'm a lot smarter than you are! And FYI I have built my own Rc's. I don't see any video's on YOUR channel about you building or reviewing ANY RC anything. So shut up and don't say anything until you know what the heck YOU ARE talking about!!!!!!

[poohtray]

@traxxasmaxx33 Yes, I built & reviewed RC's before YouTube was ever conceived. While you freelance in cyberspace, I operate models & full-scale vehicles for a living. Besides: I'm not saying anything...I'm typing on a computer. And, I know exactly what I'm typing about. Traxxas is "Ready to Run" - Traxxas credits themselves with starting the RTR craze in RC modeling and I will ridicule you and any Traxxas fan for this outsourced blunder...Anything Traxxas is a POS.

[traxxasmaxx33]

@poohtray Ok dude what is you're problem with Traxxas? I bet when you were a beginner, that you thought it would be nice to have something "ready to run"! And yes, Traxxas DID start the RTR craze. Without them i highly doubt the hobby would be as popular as it is today. And without Traxxas you probably would not have half of the brands that are out there now. With competition comes innovation, and with that comes a better hobby. And that's something you obviously never thought about!

[poohtray]

@traxxasmaxx33 Yes, I agree. And, thank you for offering a rational comment...instead of over-controlling. I simply won't buy Traxxas products, anymore, because the last thing I need is another RTR radio (the original topic in this discussion). The popularity of this hobby also means I must wait for amateur-hour to end, so that I can compete in races and fly aircraft. Traxxas has no racing team; therefore, I have no use for Traxxas.

[traxxasmaxx33]

@poohtray END OF DISCUSSION!!

[poohtray]

@traxxasmaxx33 Happy contrails!

[TheABSoLooT1]

@poohtray alot of actual traxxas owner would highly disagree with you including myself. and with proper gear they can be made to compete against any other manufacter. esp the new pede 4x4. Ooh.. Not to mention traxxas has been 1 Rc company for last years on all RC lists by rc mags and such. No real facts to that comment.

[pinedo76]

AWESOME!!! Can't wait to pick one up.

[sebasitsme]

Its 35 Dollars. Very good price

[gruzergrub5000]

i have the FS-GT2 2.4 radio that im using on my emaxx brushless i built, my castle system is working correctly and it set to have reverse and all that, yet it does not want to go into reverse when i use this flysky radio, what gives? should i rebind perhaps or what? i havent tried swapping radios/receivers with my airtronics i have so i dont know yet if the problem is the radio but i figured i might as well ask while im at it lol. the esc does show the lights indicating forward/stop/rev.

[smokesilver]

@gruzergrub5000 looks like you need to reprogram the throttle range on the esc. This lets the esc know where the range of throttle is and programs reverse into it. Castle should have instructions on how to do this.

[gruzergrub5000]

@smokesilver ive tried that a few times, yet it doesnt seem to want to kick into reverse. the lights on the ESC show it working properly, like green if i go forward, yellow when braking red in reverse, but i just stop, no reverse? not sure if its the radio, all the trims are set correctly.

[PcandTech]

for $35 is realy awsome

[traxxasslash26]

woah, thats one really awesome rx/TX!!!

[OrangePHX]

Hey. Would you say this is better than the Traxxas transmitter 2.4ghz?

[gruzergrub5000]

@OrangePHX everythings better than the traxxas transmitters, theyre so dated.

[OrangePHX]

@gruzergrub5000

Even the 2.4ghz one? In what ways is this better?

I'm mainly concerned with how responsive and quick the transmitter is.

[gruzergrub5000]

@OrangePHX dude lol. yea the 2.4 one, the traxass radio is fairly basic compared to this one. doesnt mean its bad, it works and it gets the job done. but for half the price you get much more out of this than the traxxas factory radios.

[gruzergrub5000]

@gruzergrub5000 traxxas**

[OrangePHX]

@gruzergrub5000

Yeah it's basic compared to this one.

but all functions aside, does this one perform better while driving?

[gruzergrub5000]

@OrangePHX yeah it most definitely should since you can adjust just about everything on your vehicle, dual rates throttle/brake, etc, all that plays directly into how well your vehicle handles.

[jauchiu]

Just bought the FS-GT3 to utilize the 4 wheel steering capability on my Maxstone 8 crawler. Its not going to work. No way to adjust steering modes or mix. The 3rd channel is only a on off button. What radio do I need to enjoy the 4 wheel steering on the Maxstone 8?

[mac83194]

@jauchiu You will need some thing like a futaba 3PK or 4PK or spektrum DX3S or R.

[poohtray]

@jauchiu Futaba, Airtronics, or Spektrum. I use the 3PJ Super for 3 channel / 4 wheel steering on my monster trucks. The programing allows for separate trim & dual rates on the auxiliary channel, & the aux channel is switched.

If you operate crawlers it's possible to use a stick transmitter designed for tanks. Or you can even use an aircraft transmitter, if you center the throttle stick with return springs.

The 3rd channel on the FS-GT3 is designed for a shift/reverse servo or night lights.

[jauchiu]

@poohtray Thanks

[aenglot]

Just guys wait and u will see this company will be one of the best out there. Just like trx how it use to be

[OrangePHX]

nice
