Flysky FS-GT3C

Actally the deadspot was with my spectrum. I wasn't using my hk that day.

OK one of each then, no issues yesterday...

Flysky users at our pond with internal antennas occasionally find dead spots on the course, not so with Futaba or Spektrum. Even Futaba FM radios had no problems.

I cannot understand the fascination with cheap radios. Gas racers I know have sold their FASST and Airtronics radios - which always worked perfectly - to buy cheap Flyskys. Now some of them have control issues. Makes no sense to me.

I have a friend using spectrum and he finds dead spots.

The main reason for going with "cheap" radios is its 8$ per receiver compared to 80$ per with some "name brand" radios.
Just works out better on the wallet. I have both spectrum and a gt3-b I use the gt3 more because I have 10 receivers for it and it works fine with any type of vehicle. I have my firmware updated and use 8ch receivers. They seem to offer slightly better range.

I always wondered what they put in the $80 receivers that makes them cost so much more. It's not like the $8 ones don't work, they work just as well if not better.

The expensive ones are different on the outside not the inside.. its that small sticker or emblem that makes the price so high.. I'm gonna start slappin futaba logos on all my radio gear and see if it makes a difference :p

I'm gonna put NASA stickers on mine

Flysky works ok, im not a fan. Go race a touring car, or a 2wd buggy and see if you don't through that flysky in the garbage. Just saying guys, you're not just paying for a brand name.

Too funny...

They may not be quite as good as the higher end radios but for the most part mine is pretty darn good and has a lot of features for the price.

[Rumdog]

Really.. Tell me why they don't work good in a buggy

[SloHD]

I guess I should of put "race" in quotation marks.

[NorCalZ71]

I "raced" shortcourse for 2 years competitively and I refuse to use a spectrum receiver in a race vehicle. When you get 30 name brand radios running in close proximity you have more problems with interference then the budget radios ever thought of having.
When it all comes down to it if you prefer name brand and can afford it then go for it. If ya can't then these radios work great. There's no need to argue who's radio is better it doesn't matter.. if it works it works..

I don't think you need too much more than steering and throttle to "race" a boat. I have Futaba FAAST and Nomadio's on the shelf and use the Fly-Skys more and more. Why? inexpensive compact receivers that have great range. Electronics get copied and also get a lot cheaper every year. The laptop you paid $400 for was thousands just a few years back. Our name brand radios haven't gone down much ever? Your money your choice.

I will gladly take one or two mr200's off your hands of those so in love with Flysky radios
