FlySky FS-GT5 Review + Demonstration

[@mattwalter9148]

Just bought the GT5 today and it made my Redcat Gen 8 feel like a whole new machine. So much smoother and easier to control. New to the hobby and this video was very informative. Now I know what all these settings actually do.

[@bannanapancake]

I’ve got many different hobbies, love I can come back to this video and get re-rehearsed on this remote! Thanks for the upload!!

[@joerutkowsky3261]

I have it and love it. Also the receiver that it comes with. Has a gyro that can be turned on and off. And has settings to fine tune it. This really is a good transmitter and receiver.

[@mikezitch5699]

Just wanted to say thank you for the video! I have a trx4 sport with a new hobby wing 2 in 1 2300, with just the programming card I could not get this thing to act right with the RTR controller, this gt5 did the trick! Put some reduction gears in the tranny and motor and she’s crawling now! Thanks again!

[@WestDesertShooter]

I’ve got the GT5 and it’s been awesome to use with my crawlers and dig units. Easy to set servo end points

[@s.s.r.c3422]

I just got mine in and this video helped me out a lot and I got a basic idea of how it works.

[@rcrockpiles9535]

Best explanation for the problem I’ve had with a crawler. Just got one and information is scarce. Thanks.

[@geoffjewkes6887]

Great unit. Thanks for the demo, better than the instructions !!!! Picked a new one up £52 with receiver!

[@FingerstoFight]

Great review! I felt like you treated my time as valuable and didn't ramble. Thank you!

[@dandyer8351]

Thanks for this im used to haveing a 50% 75% & 100% TH buttons on my basic remote. This kind of replicates this for me.

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

thank you , you did a fine job teaching this GT5, just added my 2nd truck to the gt5 and loving it , but need more info on this ,i need help!!!!

[@iainschofield7409]

Thanks for the video! I got a GT5 today and your vid definitely helped, big time! One thing I did notice is your transmitter doesn't beep with every click of th dial and buttons. Can you turn it off?

[@mraudioiscool]

Thanks for the honest review ! keep the good work up

[@fishycomics]

like the way the steering is closer in then the GT3C

[@robcanthandlestupidy9249]

Great helpful video I appreciate it

[@jc51373]

you sure this has telemetry? I don't see an ibus or sensor port on the RX....Great review and coverage btw, best I've seen on this radio.

[@raymondmccauley9451]

I got mine for $70 and i love it

[@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

[@grvtyboyRC]

Would you happen to know if you can control a servo winch from ch5 or ch6? Can you make the potentiameters respond like a 2 or 3 position switch?

[@ADHDNME777]

Ive heard you can use those channels for winches but i don't know for sure.

[@grvtyboyRC]

@@ADHDNME777 Thanks, I ended up buying the GT5 used it for a while and was able to easily program channel 5 and 6 for winches. It wasnt super easy to use while trying to drive and winch. I eventually sold it and moved to the Flysky NB4

[@johnmarcos1929]

Is this radio safe to use with a baja 1/5??? Does this radio gives a lot of trouble with time???

[@erichehir9672]

I can’t figure out how to make my steering turn slower? Other than that I love it, lots if functions 👍🏻

[@razvannicola5197]

Can the gyro be deactivated, and how? What is the approximate range of this radio with the BS-6 receiver? Second: is this receiver waterproof or splashproof? Thank you!

[@ADHDNME777]

Yes, you can turn it off. Not needed for crawlers.

[@STEVOD313]

I bought mine today! Can’t wait till it gets here👍👍👊👊📹📹 Love the Detroit hat,that’s my home!

[@rcuniversetv]

Did you get it for crawling or something else?

[@STEVOD313]

RCUNIVERSE.COM both crawling and also my solid axle monster trucks with the 4ws option dual servos,should be perfect,oh n also I was buying gyros for rc’s like 2wd slash,rustler n this eliminates having to buy gyros now👍

[@elliotbaltazar]

RCUNIVERSE.COM Have you had any issues with the transmitter?

[@rcuniversetv]

No issues so far

[@cwatson42785]

@@STEVOD313 Hey stevo how has it been for you? I just ordered one and about 12 receivers....Hope it's good lol. Was gonna go with the dx5 rugged but that extra cost for receivers was a deal breaker. And especially im just a basher and not a racer

[@nsvaluto48328]

Can I on mine set a servo stop point meaning I turn the wheel or push a channel button and it rotate to a certain point and stop. Then hit or turn something else and return back to where it was thanks

[@northernlightsrc8994]

Will it be ok with 11.1 3s lipo xerorun r2 3300kv system

[@muzicgr8]

Awesome Thanks and Goooooo Detroit Lions

[@RobbertdeRouw2022]

Really like the fact it's a 6ch, extra receivers around $20

[@ValFPV]

Extra recievers are as low as 6$ if you only need 4ch and no gyro

[@cwatson42785]

@@ValFPV What one are those? I saw some 4 channel ones but they were still like 15-18$ What model receiver and where are you finding them at that price? Thanks!

[@northernlightsrc8994]

Is the reciever waterproof

[@westernsharpie]

Do you know if it will work perfectly with the tamiya multi function unit?

[@ZippoModz]

What do I have to hear for reverse gear to work. It is a scrawler from the 3D printer with an electric motor. I have the same remote control but it just doesn't work in reverse🙈

[@s.s.r.c3422]

I'm using it in my redcat piranha xtr10

[@LeifSobremonte]

will this control multiple receivers bound to it at the same time regardless of the model selected?

[@ADHDNME777]

Up to 20

[@jondevolld3914]

I just got mine and how do i fix the steering. when i go and turn right it turns to the left vice verse?

[@Somatik]

REV channel one setting

[@kmet2000]

Hi! Will it bind to the old recievers of GT3B and GT3C era?

[@TRFH1]

no

[@cooperearhart2607]

So if i wanna use this one transmitter on 2 different cars with the same receiver, I can?

[@iainschofield7409]

Yeh, no problem but rather than swap the receiver between tthe cars, if you buy another receiver, and they are cheap, you can bind them both to the transmitter and it will store the setting for each car. The receivers are selected by changing the model on the transmiter display.

[@cooperearhart2607]

@@iainschofield7409 thank you that is very helpful

[@paolosangil5535]

How to set a break ? Cause mine theres no break ? It is my first time that i use this transmitter

[@ValFPV]

You mean brakes??

Thanks man i just got this transmitter and need help im a noob lmao

Hey what are your settings for channel 3 I can't get my channel 3 to work please help thanxs

How do you dial down sensitivity again step-by-step please

[@rccvs4355]

Hi there, quick question what can you use channel 5 & 6 for? Can the be use to power bumper light or light bar? Than is the only thing stopping me to by that control. I was looking into the GT3C and update the firmeware myself. Thanks you !!

[@ADHDNME777]

Yes yes and yes

[@rccvs4355]

@@ADHDNME777 OMG 4 years later you reply hihihi I already bought it and also got the NB4 radio, thanks anyway !!

[@biscuitcookie1727]

What it lag is mixing function , it is good for single motor control but when come to dual motor Dig, this controller cannot manage dig function on Moa crawler.

[@leeroyexcavator9149]

What transmitter has this function?

[@raulfernandez9111]

Will the receiver handle 7.4v from a 2s lipo. Interested for my baja 5b.

[@paulhope3401]

Yes, the FS-BS6 gyro receiver is HV rated and a 2S lipo is exactly what I use, it makes a big difference to the servo speed and torque having a higher voltage and a far higher amperage available compared to the escs anemic bec. The receivers input voltage range is 4v-8.4v so you could go even higher if you bought a Castle 10A bec and programmed it for up to 8.4v. This would also save weight over a 2S Lipo. Just make sure to go for a GT5 Tx + the FS-BS6 gyro receiver combo as there are GT5 + non gyro receiver combos out there. I really dig this radio, amazing value for money. The Latency is actually very good for this price point and the functionality is superb.. especially good is the SVC and if you have a crawler with 4WS you are in for a real treat with all the different steering modes. I dont use the abs but it is adjustable for strength, delay, duty cycle, pulse length etc. Idealy I'd love the plastics to be of a higher quality with a soft touch rubberised finish and also a little more tx steering wheel rotation... maybe another 5 deg on both sides and that would make it perfect for me. Its only a £50 radio though so I'm actually being really harsh suggesting that. Go for it, you wont be dissapointed..

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Is there a way to bind 2 servos to the same channel? I have a few cars that have 2 steering servos that I want to use this on.

[@ADHDNME777]

Not sure yet

[@TheWheels1965]

So is the range any better! or the same!

[@InvisiMan2006]

Manual says 200m direct line of sight.

[@eacalways]

Can this be use with my x maxx?or should I stay with my stock system.

[@ADHDNME777]

It can be used in anything with fly sky reciever in it. Not sure about compatability

[@Trevit86]

Is there anywhere to attach a lanyard to the transmitter?

[@tilendynaguy4895]

I just bought this controller and my throttle forward and reverse best backwards and so is my steering. Is that because of something I did when I originally hooked it up. I'm still pretty new at this if anyone can help out

[@tilendynaguy4895]

@@johnm5332 Thanks... I think I had the plug in backwards🙄 if I remember right 😂. I just need to get my steering dialed in now, my stop points for the servo I guess. I'm getting it little by little, This video helped a good bit Having watched it 30 times😅

sorry but the music is irritating. person is talking and music starts blasting over him.

[@jstagzsr]

99$ for that?? for 6 channels and a shitty looking screen?? i would much MUCH rather buy a 35$ gt3b, and put the firmware on it that makes it an 8 channel receiver.. when you were reviewing that one i was thinking "thats a cool receiver if its like 40-50 bucks.. then you said 99$.. holy crap dude. i have a gt3b and a noble nb4. kinda both ends of the flysky spectrum. i love flysky as a company, they make great products that i love, but i honestly feel thats about double what they should be charging for that.. as far as your video though, it was great. very detailed. all the important parts you covered perfectly. not too long, not too short. good stuff man. im subbing.

[@lepiaf128]

I have no idea about to calibrate anything reverse left right up down I have no idea would you be able to run a Full speck on this transmitter for a Crawler. Basically a full set up. I’m sure there’s more than one like me would like to hear that because not everyone knows how to use a translator a gnu to the Hobby so please can you do that so you may get more subscriber to and perhaps me
