Flysky FS-GT5 full review!

[@jimhimesjr]

$70 on Amazon. A much better value at $70 vs $90. I own one of these radios, no it’s not a high end radio but have no complaints. It’s solid. Almost bought a Noble because of how happy I was with the GT5 but got sick of waiting for Banggood to get them in stock. Good review.

[@MrKingNica]

Jim Himes are you using it with a 4wd or 2wd? Reason I’m asking is because I want a good remote with the good Gyro but that will generally perform well with 4 WD and sometimes there’s issues.

[@krowe33]

I see someone already corrected you about the low voltage alarm. You might want to throw up an edit to state in the vid it does have this feature. Great review regardless. Thanks!

[@RcOffroad9513]

I've been watching your channel alot as of late? Awesome channel bro!

[@RazorRC]

Thanks for the support!

[@mcclendon1981]

Thanks , I was looking at this transmitter as well . Still deserves a 1 on available info tho . I was really annoyed by finding zero info on the flysky page.

[@justins6465]

It's so your hand doesn't sweat

[@DashzRight]

Great video. I just got the gt5, since everyone compares both, it is disappointing, I bought both the Radiolink and the Flysky with my own money and only good thing about the Gt5 is looks and ergonomics, for everything else: radiolink; better usability and navigation through the system, more intuitive, wide range of compatible lipos, far more functions IF you need them, 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…

[@Guy2NV]

yes it does have low battery alarm. saw it for the first time last night.

[@yonicozac]

It does have low voltage alarm (4.4v for AA and 7.2v for lipo), it not only sound an alarm, but also vibrate! which scared me the first time as i wasnt expecting it.

[@RazorRC]

Yoni Cozac you’re right, thanks for the correction

[@yonicozac]

Another point you mentioned is the price of the receivers, it worth noting that the FS-A3 receiver is a non-gyro 3ch receiver that cost less than 8$ shipped, and work with this transmitter.

[@Weemanfaescotland]

Thanks for putting that up, That helped me, for I'm getting a redcat gen8 scout2 Axe edition 👍

[@skaargan]

Hey man, great review. But I like it more when u rate it 1 to 10, where 5 is average, 6 and 7 for above average and 8 to 10 is good to best. Anyway, I'm hoping u could make a review on the latest flysky fs-nb4 noble. It is said that they design it to match the performance of sanwa m12s. So they creat a new protocol for it.

[@RazorRC]

Thanks for the feedback, pretty doubtful I will get the FS-NB4 unfortunately.

[@keithrozeski8463]

Im glad u have the same problem with steering wheel and no manual.Thought mine was broke

[@tonyallen9131]

They have a low voltage alarm for both AAs and 2 cell lipo but you can't set when the alarm goes off if your using a lipo it starts beeping at 7v I can't remember what voltage it starts beeping when the AAs get low but it does let you know their getting low as well.

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Upgraded my udr with this radio and receiver. What an upgrade. Gonna get receivers for my other cars. But kinda want to hold out for Noble NB4 SVC receivers

[@Barnz1980]

Just getting back into RC drifting & going to grab one of these 👌 watched a few of your vids now so cheers 👍 P.s I'm upgrading from an ancient HPI TF-1 😀

[@joerutkowsky3261]

There is a low voltage alarm. When it gets low the lights on the front flash and it beeps

[@Zerzuze]

I use the fs-gt5 with a 10 channel drone receiver afhds 2a in my speed run car and trail truck. I also use it's standard reciever for a slash 4x4 with simulated hydraulics. All on one remote Easily half mile range on drone receiver A little less for standard reviever but clearly as far as I can see the rc effectively. Drone receiver Probably better but that's the limit of visibility from me to the car.

[@sixtring73]

Hi, can the stability control/gyro be programmed to counter steer for drifting? Thanks

[@aldhy5806]

What do you think about this remote vs sanwa mx6? I want to using on scx10ii. Thanks

[@amitshnaider5894]

very good remote tnx

[@lepiaf128]

Hi the I purchased this Gt5 , I am new to the hobby, the thing is I have no idea to calibrate this GT5 to my rc crawler, it would be great I you had a video to show a basic calibration for a crowler, thanks

[@rccvs4355]

Hi Sir, quick question for you. What can you use channel 5 & 6 for? Can the be used to power bumper lights or/and light bar? That is what is stopping to buy this radio. Thank You !!

[@RazorRC]

Yes, that's what the other channels are for -- lights, a winch, another steering servo, etc.

[@rccvs4355]

@@RazorRC Oh ok good, will you make a video how to set it up? Not to sure how. Thank you !!

[@opuarc]

Hi, I have a flysky gt5 but I didn't understand how to set the trim. There are two parameters trim subtrim and trim, first of all I don't figure out the difference between them. I noticed that when I set for example subtrim the display shows st and L ( left) but I can't find the right channel... If I rotate the navigation button it goes to the aux parameter and in aux you can set L (left) then R (I think right) and U (I don't know what it is) same problem in the trim parameter.. I thought of finding the L and R settings and setting them in the classic way. .. Could someone give me some explanation? If I have to mount a new servo before fitted the horn, how I have to set trim and sub trim? Thank you!

[@XtrmTJ97]

What is Sterring D/R exactly?

[@fabiofboful]

Hi, my FS GT% is loosing connection all time and showing a message asking if i want to reset the configs. Do you have any idea of what could have been causing this problem? Thank you for your review.

[@levimatheus9917]

Good night, what range does this radio reach?

[@53rdcards]

Do you recommend this one over the Radiolink RC6GS, or more to the point how do they compare as they are the same price off amazon these days

[@nextpower128]

What better. Fly sky gt5 o radiolink rc6gs. Regards

[@DudaZachary]

Maybe put a few shims behind the steering wheel?

[@nathanstoughton5641]

Does the stability control have an up and down feature like a airplane would?

[@charliewolf7500]

Greetings. Good review, however, can you change the side of the wheel? I prefer a Left Mounted Wheel. Thank you for sharing.

[@diemturner5755]

No.

[@ferbmayne]

Hey razor please give your feedback , I have the rival mt10. What would you upgrade first the receiver or tires? I'm thinking of running the belted hp 2.8 trenchers and this for a receiver . What would show the bigger difference ya think ?

[@RazorRC]

I would change the radio/receiver

[@GoFindAsafeSpace]

This flysky, the 3pv or the dx5c? Razor, wich one do you recomend I buy. Would love to hear your opinion. Thanx bro! 👊😬

[@brianmoreno3]

You missed an important point -- what is the range on this thing? Any idea?

[@mprovedtuning]

[@clarencelim212]

Please do a review of the Noble Nb4.

[@MrKingNica]

How does the stability control hold up when using a 4 WD RC car?

[@notbuyingit8047]

I have this radio. My channel 3 is not working and channel 4 is binding.

[@codywelfelt4125]

Is there front dig button?

[@KTMcaptain]

What does the steering dual rate button do? Can you program it with a different rate? I’d rather have two dual rate throttle profiles for crawling.

[@RazorRC]

it's different than the flying "dual-rate", all it does is reduce the left and right end points evenly

[@rclover828]

You should ask them to send you the new FLYSKY FS-NB4 4CH Noble

[@adamrzld]

I just bought it yesterday but when i try throttle trigger it didnt work properly. It goes backwards when i pull and it goes forward when it should be brake/backwards. Maybe u can help. How do i fix it?

[@bannanapancake]

I’m having that issue with a Tamiya grand hauler/w a MFU in it…is that what you were using at the time?

[@hectorcontreras7216]

I just got this transmitter from Amazon for $70 and really like how I can use it for all the rc cars I have . I specifically bought it to use on a Gmade R1 built and can’t figure out why I have NO brakes , will roll on any hill unlike all my other RC’s. Would it be my build or a setting on the transmitter/ receiver ?? Hope you or anyone can help

[@Zerzuze]

Are you talking about drag break or standard breaking?

[@brutallyaverage8293]

Old vid but question. Can you bind 2 of these to the same receivers at the same time? Reason is I want to replace all my rtr remotes with one but have a second so my wife can drive whichever vehicle I'm not running

[@RazorRC]

No, unfortunately that won’t work. Each receiver will only “listen” to one radio.

[@brutallyaverage8293]

@@RazorRC thanks for the quick response to an old vid. I'm still gonna go ahead with my plan and just rebind on the rare occasion she or someone else drives one of the other cars

[@RTmadnesstoo]

Any that are compatible with AFHDS 2A protocol.

[@ValFPV]

@@RTmadnesstoo does that mean I can just use the receiver that came with my RTR Flysky GT2?

[@RTmadnesstoo]

@@ValFPV There are a ton of receivers that will work. Just make sure you don't get the AFHDS model. It has to be the AFHDS 2A. I just bought a couple from Banggood for $10 each. If you want gyro stability control it will require the more expensive receivers.

[@ValFPV]

It's so that air can get to the palms of your fucking hand. They're not so that you can wear your remote control as a ring.
