DumboRC DDF-350 Is The Best RC Bashing Transmitter Upgrade of 2023!

[@Blimpus]

I just got a Dumbo X6, it has a built in gyro in the receiver , it's been a solid radio

[@DoRC]

Yeah this also has a built-in receiver gyro. Nice to have. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelkrammRC]

I switched to a Flysky Noble NB4 in the last weeks for about 150 bucks at Bangood. Have now equipped all my cars with a Flysky receiver with included voltage monitor. Additionally I added the Flysky temp sonsor to all cars to monitor the motor temps.

[@DoRC]

The noble is a sweet controller. I've never owned one myself but I have messed with one of them and it definitely feels premium. Thanks for watching :-)

[@tomesdustin4382]

3-4 different guys at my local track all in the last month have bought the NB4 and that thing looks, feels and works excellent. Super jealous of them just cuz I’m broke at the moment but definitely the way to go for anybody who has $150-$200 and wants a transmitter and 2 receivers that quality wise could probably easily be sold for double the actual price in my opinion. Definitely very very nice.

[@genevakeith3876]

Nice. That looks like a worthwhile option.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's hard to beat for the price. Thanks for watching!

[@kloudkreeper]

Dumbo RC and Radiolink have the same parent company. All products are manufactured in the same facility. Both have a solid reputation for reliability, functionality, and value.

[@DoRC]

True. I will say though that I've actually had problems with my radio link receivers browning out under certain configurations which is really weird for modern setups.

[@josephfast5887]

Dumborc is the parent, and makes all radio link products.

[@DoRC]

@josephfast5887 oh I thought it was the other way around.

[@WowoodogPlays]

I use the dumborc x6

[@RCenPLS]

I just unboxed mine, and despite the low limit of 10 vehicules memory, I think it's going to be my new favourite transmitter (I usually use a Flysky GT-5)

[@DoRC]

It's definitely a step up from the GT5!

[@pmg1085]

What is better, compared to the GT5? I own the GT5 and have some issues with receivers, thinking about switching to dumbo? Thx

[@DoRC]

@pmg1085 I think they transmitter is superior to the GT5 in features and usability. I can't really speak too much about the receivers. I haven't really had any major issues with fly sky or Dumbo RC receivers.

[@RCenPLS]

@@pmg1085 Same as DoRC I had no issues with ft-5 or the dumbo. Probably changing radio won't fix your issue. Depending maybe of the kind of issue you got

[@pmg1085]

Thanks for the reply’s. Have a few cars for a while with GT5 receivers with zero issues. My sledge is the only one with a metal chassis and I’ve already had two receivers go bad (running max8G2 combo). Could be bad luck, TQI ran fine, so I think it is caused by the impacts when jumping? They run fine for a while, but start to glitch after some time when the car hits the ramp. Bars and tone also had some durability issues with GT5 receivers, so thought why not try Dumbo. Are controls and latency comparable (only have bashers)?

I think your my new favorite RC youtuber

[@DoRC]

Thanks Glad you enjoy!

i am ALL over this radio like bunnies on a binger. i like the fact that it's USB-C. i just like it, period. bells n whistles!

[@DoRC]

It's definitely sweet though I'm not entirely certain what the USBC connection is for at the moment. I would imagine it's for updating the firmware but I couldn't find any firmware available

[@rogueFactor]

@@DoRC oh! I came across a thing for it.

[@DoRC]

@rogueFactor what's that?

[@rogueFactor]

@@DoRC it's just like the old Dumbo RC. a power bank can be plugged in (5v=-) and there is also a separate USB-C buddy/trainer adapter available. plus like you said I can't imagine it not having firmware update support. so they can increase to 15 model support. 🤓🤣

[@DoRC]

Just discovered your channel. I like your vibe. Just subbed

[@DoRC]

Awesome glad you enjoyed and welcome :-)

[@bryanjames1376]

​ @DoRC recommendation for LiFe or LiPo batteries for this remote?

[@DoRC]

Not sure. The battery compartment is pretty small so your options are going to be limited. I only ever ran aa batteries in mine.

[@a_u_575]

Reading for the specification table, I believe the best feature is that you can bind and run with all dumborc past receivers. I do not have one yet but I am planning to get one soon. Either this or LDARC CT-01 or HotRC Ct-6a. LDARC is relatively new and 5 models max. HotRC CT-6a has no model memory at all but you can run as many as you want plus it is cheapest

[@DoRC]

I think this would be the best choice. Yes it's a little bit more but the increased model memory and more feature-rich options are worth it I think

[@Breakaway_RC]

Pre ordered mine and had it for some time now. Switched over from the x6 so all my old recivers are compatible. I think its fantastic for the money. Just installed a lipo in it.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's a pretty sweet remote for the price! It's awesome that they made sure it was compatible with the previous generation receivers. Seems like something that fly sky and radio link didn't seem to understand would be important.

[@scho45]

Funny enough Dumbo is a subsidiary of RadioLink

[@DoRC]

@@scho45 Yeah I found that out after making this comment. I guess radio link intentionally doesn't make the receivers compatible across their sub brand.

[@scho45]

@@DoRC may have bought them not long ago who knows. Anyhow the 10 model memory does suck. While you are here...did you feel any input delay/slow response time from the transmitter?

[@DoRC]

@@scho45 I didn't notice any but I'm also not the most susceptible to those things so I might not be the best person to ask.

[@madsrcbuggy]

This seems really nice, thanks for showing it to us! I think I own 4 or more transmitters, plus all the ones from the RTR's, and I have to admit all of them are annoying to some degree. Doesn't matter if they are cheapos or midrange, I haven't found one that is right for me yet. I just recently started using Dumbo, one of the cheaper models, so I am quite impressed with the brand, and I think I will give this a go at some point... I need to find out if it can be powered with rechargible AA's, and if so, if it can be charged via the USB plug, or if it's for data only... Or maybe if I use a lithium ion 2s, might charge on the USB...

[@DoRC]

As far as I know it's data only but I'm not certain about that

[@JN-qr4yt]

Which dumborc receiver did you use? Have you used the voltage return function to see the vehicles battery voltage in realtime?

[@DoRC]

I used the one that came with it and yes I did test that to make sure it worked.

[@JN-qr4yt]

@@DoRC I've searched online for documentation but I can't find any. Did it come with a cable to go from B+ and B- to the lipo in the RC? Is it that simple or is there anything to be concerned about?

[@DoRC]

@JN-qr4yt I don't have that particular receiver anymore but yes I believe it just came with a cable. That's kind of how they all are. You just have to connect it to the positive and negative connections for the battery. After that it just works.

[@JN-qr4yt]

@@DoRC thanks so much, it's not explicitly said in the advertisement so I wasn't sure. Just off hand do you know if it'll be ok up to 6s or stacking 2 batteries?

[@DoRC]

@JN-qr4yt Yeah I'm pretty sure I was using it on 6S.

[@pandapoo5002]

can the receivers from dumbo go into any RTR RC?

[@DoRC]

Yep. Pretty much any receiver will work in pretty much any RC car as long as it has enough channels for whatever the car needs.

[@stevekinser-wj6hz]

Is there any way to map one of the external channel dials for steering trim? Seems I’m always fiddling with trim and don’t know about having to go in menu every time. Thanks

[@DoRC]

It may be possible but in my hunting around I wasn't able to find a way.

[@DoRC]

Hmm. I'm trying to remember but I don't recall having to fix anything on that truck recently so I don't think it actually broke. The MTX is an absolute tank.

[@Sideshowgaz5779]

Great video. Really considering getting one of these. Does ot show the voltage of the batteries in the reveiver, or the battery in the car?

[@DoRC]

As long as you correctly wire the receiver and it is one of the telemetry enabled receivers it will show the battery voltage of the truck.

[@Sideshowgaz5779]

That's ace, thank you for taking the time to reply

[@DoRC]

@Sideshowgaz5779 You're welcome!

[@samoutdoors863]

Hi, I am planning to buy one but not sure what reciever should i buy , most importantly is to be able to read the battery of the cars lipo, tips please

[@DoRC]

The receiver that comes with it has telemetry. That's the one I would recommend

[@samoutdoors863]

Thanks man Where I live we have 6 different options to choose from, which reciever is the one the comes with it in you country?

[@Josell1028]

Can you please tell me if this TX supports VRC via a port? Also does it support telemetry ? Can't find the manual anywhere for download! Thanks so much!

[@DoRC]

It does support telemetry. The only one I'm sure of is battery voltage or either receiver but I think it may support others as well. What is VRC?

[@Murphys_Law9]

I wonder how this compares to the Rlaarlo CT-8A transmitter

[@DoRC]

I've reviewed that as well. I think they're pretty comparable. This one might have the advantage because it works with more easily accessible receivers but they're both pretty good.

[@Murphys_Law9]

[@DoRC]

@@Murphys_Law9 awesome thank you!

[@endosrc]

does the response feel good? could be a huge upgrade from the x6 that i race with. yeah i know, go ahead and crucify me

[@DoRC]

I personally can't really notice any delay. That being said I'm probably not the best person to ask because I'm kind of tolerant to those sorts of things. I've driven so many different cars with so many different radio setups that my mind just sort of automatically compensates for whatever deficiencies there are

@rizmanharris You're welcome thanks for watching

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool, Although i already run a Futaba 4pm and an Radiolink RC8X i've been leaning towards the Radiolink the past few months since the receivers are are more affordable, some are splashproof, have more channels but i've been a little disappointed with the range but it might be a possible interference between all the wi-fi signals and my radios in my neighborhood were i run my vehicles.

[@DoRC]

I would recommend maybe avoiding radio link. I had them for quite some time and I found that with certain combinations the receivers tended to brown out when the ESC was under heavy load such as when steering would bind. A glitch buster capacitor fixes the problem but it's still a pain to have to deal with. I never had a problem with rain so yeah it might be a problem with Wi-Fi interference

[@cjchannel12RC]

@@DoRC IDK mine's been doing fine the only issue i have is the range being shortened but my 4pm also has the same issue. But i have had issues with Traxxas radios glitching and making whatever vehicle stutter even since i got my original Sledge back in late 2022.

[@DoRC]

@cjchannel12 Yeah if you're having issues with a bunch of different radios it very well might be your location. You might want to consider driving out somewhere else and just trying it out to see if you still have the same problems.

[@gsrc6876]

Best range out there for sure

[@DoRC]

Yeah it goes as far as I could want to go. I couldn't see the car anymore to control it by the time I stopped.

[@DoRC]

@@gsrc6876 Yeah unless you're doing something really weird and I don't think range will be an issue for anybody.

[@FlailinMonkey]

Great review and this seems like an awesome budget radio, I also agree though that the model memory should at least hold 20 models minimum. I would be curious what the response time/resolution was on it compared to the Flysky Noble or GT5, I have read quite a few comments about the radiolink RC8X not being as responsive as the Noble or GT5. The one thing I really wish Flysky would do is make all of their transmitter/receiver protocls work across the board.

[@DoRC]

Yeah for some reason fly sky really likes to create new protocols. I'm really loving the G7 transmitter. I don't know what it's latency is but haven't really had any issues with it.

[@FlailinMonkey]

@@DoRC I probably didn't word that correctly but I meant the latency on the new dumbo radio compared to the Flysky. I think all the Flysky radios have really good latency from what I have read and reviews I have seen. I'm not a fan of the look of the G7 or the menu system compared to the Noble or even the GT5. Thanks for the responses btw and keep up the great work.

[@DoRC]

@@FlailinMonkey gotcha. Yeah I also haven't really had any latency issues with the Dumbo radio but I'm really not the best person to evaluate that. I drive so many different vehicles with so many different transmitters that I think my mind is sort of become accustomed to just dealing with whatever idiosyncrasies they happen to have. Sometimes I realize I haven't even trimmed my steering and I've been driving for 15 minutes.

I’m a dumbo fan boy. We’ve got 4 of the x6f’s .. this has the features the x6 is missing but seems to lack the range as the x6 claims 500 meters. I’ll definitely pick one of these up in the future

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's only rated at 350 m but who is driving There RC car 500 m? I was probably a hundred meters away from mine when I stopped in the video and I couldn't see it anymore.

Might be a great upgrade. The Dumbo is okay but it's extremely limited in what it can do. Not even being able to set individual endpoints is kind of annoying. This will let you use your current receivers and give you a lot of extra options for tuning

[@macmccartney5760]

Is thus transmitter better that the 7channel flysky you showed ? I was about to buy the fly shy until i saw this dumbo on amazon but with foam wheel i stead of metal

[@DoRC]

Overall I think it is. The F7P is pretty good but the menu system is very frustrating. I've been using it nearly every day for probably close to 6 months now and I still am not used to the menu system.

[@FrankvdBerg]

​@@DoRCSo basicaly your pretty happy using the G7P? I need a new transmitter. Used the Rlaarlo CT8-A for a while but last week all the sudden it went full trottle and completely destroyed my Arrma Granite. Never gonna use that thing again

[@DoRC]

@FrankvdBerg ehh. It's okay. The main reason I use the G7P is because I need a reliable camera mount and it's one of the few options that has a good first party set up. It's menu system can be very frustrating and it's selection of buttons and whatnot is a little puzzling sometimes

Hi guys, My receivers don't seem to match a certain gyro I want to use on my drift RC car. Maybe you'd know of a different receiver I could use to match the PWM frequency of my high end gyro (333hz). I'm using a x6fg receiver and even after trying multiple ones it still doesn't steer even if the gyro itself can move the servo just fine. I haven't yet tried a x6dc, x6yc or x10fg.

Yea the 7 is new compared to gt5 , I think most just don’t like the shape and not being color screen , why go bigger screen if it’s not color and it’s not touch screen , this thing being touch screen under a 100 bucks is really good 👍. I’d like see a test , I forget the terminology but the response time and smooth input as gradually on off throttle . Idk how you even test , something we kind of feel driving . I’m sure racing on carpet or whatever you notice a difference between radios idk but I’m loving the touch screen and style

[@DoRC]

@RcPlayer-tt2vw In my hands the response felt good but I'm also not the best judge of that. It's not a touch screen though. I actually think the G7P really is a great radio. One of the main things I love about is the internal antenna receivers. I'm always swapping receivers around and it's really nice not to have to jam antennas down into the box. I also really like the first party cell phone holder that they have for it. It's very high quality and is honestly the main reason why I use it now. I would consider switching to this one because it's smaller and actually feels better in the hand but as of yet there's no cell phone holder for it so I can't use it for my channel.

I haven't done a battery life test on it. I do have a couple hours of use on it and the batteries are still around 75%, so I think they'll last a good amount of time.

Couldn't I connect a total of 8 LEDs with 3 Y-cables (4x at the front (white) and 4x at the back (red) and then switch them on and off? That would be enough for me. Or is one slot on the receiver overloaded? Unfortunately I don't know anything about electricity, that's why I'm asking...

You can use any free channel on the receiver to connect lights and you can use y adapters to connect multiple lights to one channel on the receiver.

Nice. Looks like a competitor to the 8 channel Radiolink. As far as the 10 model limit....for that kind of price, it wouldn't be one bit of a problem for me. I have 4 RC's and have exceeded my financial limit to have them. So anyone with shelves upon shelves of hoarded RC models could afford another transmitter. Besides, not every basher is gonna need 10 channel capability, so most of their existing transmitters should suffice. This one would be excellent for crawlers with a lot of servos and lights.

[@DoRC]

I understand your point of view on that and a lot of people won't need more than 10 models I just think it's annoying when artificial limitations are imposed. Back in the day it actually cost the company money to have enough memory on board so only supporting a certain number of models made sense. These days that's just not the case. I guarantee you the memory of available on that transmitter could probably support a thousand models so the 10 model limit is literally just a variable that they chose. Will it be a problem for most people? Probably not is it a problem that simply doesn't need to be there? Yes.

A lot of car detailing spray bottles are locked so you can't just unscrew them to pour in the remaining contents from previous bottles anymore. Everything is limited, everything is throw away.

Setting the steering end points is easy and so much better than the stock transmitter. There's way more on this transmiter than I'll ever need, I think 10 channels! but I only need steering and throttle really. BUT (and can anyone help here?) I have programmed two models on my transmitter; 1) RADIX and 2) MURACO. I set the end points and set up the RADIX as the receiver/transmitter that comes are already bound. I bound the other I've put in the Muraco. Then tested by switching the transmitter model memory to the RADIX… and it still controlled the MURACO. Shouldn't the model memory only operate the model that is bound? Or am I binding incorrectly? The instructions for the transmitter are very basic. I don’t want end points getting mixed up depending which car I use. And how do you get the gyro to perform? How can’t be tested without driving? I’ve found the gyro on the transmitter but turning it on doesn’t seem to do anything. Do the corally cars esc’s recognise the receiver/transmitter has a gyro? Any help or a manual download would be awesome 🙌🏼
