Flysky FS-i6 Throttle Centering Kit Install - Updated - Tamiya Trucks & Tanks

[@PiratesInTeepees]

Hey Bob! This is Joshua that just ordered the throttle centering kit here in California! Hope this day finds you as well as it does me!!! The install of the kit went flawlessly. I followed your advice to get some tinker tweezers (a tool I now use constantly) and use a small parts tray, best advice in the whole video. I have my DIY drone working much closer to my DJI thanks to this mod. The shipping was crazy fast and the kit arrived two days early. While I had the radio open I did the mod to install openTX. Super happy with this radio, thanks for your help!

[@UKGtrotter2k]

Good video Bob, now I know what I need to convert my flysky for my truck. Are you going to release a video on how to reprogram the remotes.

[@AddamsPlayground]

You make putting that spring in look too easy LOL! It was a fight but I got it after a couple tries and thankfully did not launch it across the room. Thanks again for being a resource to get these kits and the great instructions!!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I have launched a few myself!

[@scottsrcshop]

Thanks for making this video Bob! Every rc car channel I watch always references Bob at hobby concepts and how killer of a job you do.

[@ronhenney4546]

Thanks Bob watching someone else do it is a big help always look at your videos for some guidance

[@AndrewMcVinnie]

Thanks! Kit came fast and went in nice and easy, as shown..

[@lucverburgh9285]

Thank you, I followed the video from A to B and the installation went well. Great !!!!!!!!!

[@appleby2087]

Just have done mine while watching your excellent video. Thanks Bob, very kind of you sharing all your experience 👏👏

[@AddamsPlayground]

I just ordered my kit to do the mod... well I ordered two just in case I send one of those parts into the void which I may very well do. Would rather have the insurance of having the backup! Thanks for the instructions and the kit to do this!!

[@joeyclark789]

God bless you Bob. Yet again you've saved me time in checking and fiddling to see how things go together. I now have a radio ready for my king hauler project. Thank you

[@franciscodelrio3950]

Thanks for the centering kit, Bob, fast shipping.

[@dennybobsrcconstructionagc2796]

Only one question. Now that the radio throttle stick is no longer in the down/idle position. How do you stop the alarm in the radio from going off other than tapping the LH joystick down?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

The ST-FS8 has a setting to turn it off! Finally!!

[@RCBirds]

Thanks Bob, that helps I have this problem for my next Clod Buster project. I need a desk transmitter with max 6 channels, a pistol transmitter will not fit to my ideas. No programming needed. But all these radios (I found) were for airplanes. You get several modes, but all throttels aren't centered. Alternative are teh car radios with 11 or more channels, but this a little bit overkill for a fun monster truck. Where are the good old times, when desk radios were used for cars, boats and planes. The conversion sets came along with the radio set and the changes were easy.

[@BartBrunink]

I’m using it for a 6x6 clod. It will also do crab like steering. I only centered the left stick, and use right stick for mixing channels.

[@Laurence235]

Hello Bob, Thanks for the video. May come in handy at a later date. If I may though, I'd like to add a comment from "way down South in Oz"... re; "putting all those self tapping screws back in...." When they are 1st factory installed, they cut their own thread into the plastic, be they pillars or just a flat surface. Now....when you replace the screws, if you just go to screw them in, you risk spreading/splitting the hole or breaking the pillar off completely. My suggestion, after many, many years (over 50) of maintaining all types of equipment, is as follows... Put the screw in the hole BUT turn it back wards until you feel it click into the original screw threads. Then just gently screw it home but do not over tighten. You don't need to be a gorilla when doing this. Just gently screw them home & then back them off a tad, say, a 1/4 turn. This re-leaves the pressure/tension on all the plastic parts, that may/will be caused by expansion & contraction in varying temperatures. Hope I did not offend. Stay safe.

[@hoonigan11]

Just did the conversion awesome video thanks

[@rascalracing4428]

Just did it, went great with your awesome video! Thanks a lot Bob!

[@oldskoolstudios25]

Great video Bob, thank you so much. It was really helpful. I did only one little thing differently. Because of my fat fingers, I found it easier to hook up the spring to the clip when I put the bar in before the knob is put back into place. Worked really well as it all stayed in place nicely before I screwed the brackets in. Maybe you could give this method a try the next time you do another one up. Very informative, thank you very much 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Thanks Bob! Very few how-tos on FlySky Radios. Most say they're not great - and they're usually Sponsored by Futaba or Spektrum!! I use only FlySky Radios, with zero issues. My FAT Fingers may be the only obstacle! 😜 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@willdoe3984]

I have a couple of questions about this item. 1)- what dose the 2 Circle nubs are used for? 2)- can I turn on/off a set of lights with one of swatches at the top of the Transmitter? When it comes to fixing the forward/ reverse leaving the remote the way it came because if I'm carrying a heavy load and going down hill I'll slightly pull back in to the reverse Position so that way it acts as a j-break and I don't constantly have tap on it just slow it down ! But thank you for all the videos you have shared and worked hard on! Stay safe and healthy my friend!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can use an electronic switch to turn lights on and off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIm2ZGCumrt7nbc

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Bob.... I finally got around to doing this. I bought the Kit from you almost 5 weeks ago!! SECOND SET OF EXPERIENCED EYES.... After this Diabetic OLD Fart fought with that tiny Spring... I found it tremendously easier to hook the Spring to BOTH pieces first, GENTLY place them in their slots. THEN drop the Gimbal in!! You should really try it that way. 😁

[@MammothPaige]

Thank You for the quick shipping and great video

[@frikkiebester8895]

Watching this video made the job very easy! Thank you, just converted 2 radios in less than 10 minutes!

[@artswanson5301]

Just so you know. Your pointy screw driver is a #1 Phillips and the blunt one is a #2 Phillips.

[@timvanasen6711]

Thank's Bob very informative & helpful 👍

[@DEMENTEGLOCK]

Thank you Bob ! Great doing business with you and looking forward to get more stuff for my grand hauler!! 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@js7916]

Awesome video Bob! Thank you!

[@nigeltrafford-jones5569]

just done mine - many thanks

[@smartass23t]

I use the spectrum radio for my big rig and anything that needs a 3 position toggle switch for shifting gears, etc. Glad I went with spectrum because my particular model has a switch on the back of the radio that can switch from mode 1 or 2, and spring loaded or not. So convenient but it definitely costs a bit more than this radio. Have you ever owned the taigen tanks? I have one but the radio they include feels cheap/toy like. I would love to install a hobby grade radio but not sure how to do it. Need a pcm radio but unsure where to start. If you have any taigen tanks I'd love to see a video tutorial on how to do this. You make great, easy to follow directions!

[@rudyackerman5747]

With "Most" of the newer Taigen tanks, the radio AND receiver can be replaced with most standard RC Hobby radio's.

[@cgdoublezerorc]

I was thinkin' the same thing as he's doing this install. I'm so glad all I have to do is flip the radio over & mover the switch & then recalibrate.

[@michaelchristianson3179]

I love this radio.

[@lasersbee]

1:26... FYI Bob... They are called Philips Screw drivers.. A Large and a small...

[@davidede6721]

Good morning. Thank you for that. Very helpful. But May I ask if it then necessary to alter the electronics so that the centre Position will be neutral . I ask because the throttle mode has the neutral at the bottom setting of the Joystick. I should say that my set is the less fancy fs14. Thank you. Regards David Ede

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

No, the electronics do not need to be altered.

[@craiglunn4237]

Hi there Are theses rc plane transmitters your using for your rc trucks?

[@topbanana4013]

very good done thank you very much got my controller today all done. subbed . will say it works both sides i was worried i had to do other stick and was thinking they was sided parts, there not

[@joolstacho8114]

Helpful vid. BUT... couldn't you just swap the complete stick assemblies over side to side? You've ended up with both sticks centreing I just want the left (throttle) stick centreing instead of the right. I'll try... Cheers. The link to the kit tells us they're on holiday... Hahaha! Lucky duckys! That's no help.

[@CarlosGutierrez-ou2bb]

just a quick question. in a ship model can the stick stay in the position you place it in so you do not have to hold the stick in the direction of travel continiously.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

That would be the way the standard radio is set up. The stick stays where you put it. In reality I find it hard to run boats that way and like the self-centering.

[@foxhoundra6444]

Hello, I would like to purchase an FS-i6 with both returning sticks for my RC car. The link provided is broken for the DIY centering kit

[@patrickessel3597]

Thanks 🙏 Buh please no programming needed?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, you do need to program it. See my video on the Flysky-MFC

[@traviswong3686]

Hi bob very helpful video does the conversion kit work for fly sky i6x ? Thank you

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes.

[@TheBaconKing32]

Do you think it is possible to remove the spring from the other axis on that stick to make both not recenter?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

If you remove the spring the channel won't re-center. Can't imagine why you would want to do that though...

[@adewahyuramdhani98]

thankyou so much

[@rayfredette8179]

great videos well done

[@CarlosGutierrez-ou2bb]

hi again. what is the throttle on feature?

[@Funkymojo75]

Great video. Will the centering kit work on the steering stick as well? Thanks.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Steering stick is already self centering.

[@Funkymojo75]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC thanks for the reply. Much appreciated...

[@kirkabbott2288]

Question and thank you for this video okay is it also possible to use the right side of the controller one being I’m right handed and it’s all right centered I already ordered the part but is it possible

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, easy. Just plug throttle into channel 2.

[@chrislajeunesse1966]

So how do I program it so that the center is the neutral zone now and the radio doesn't freak out and say that everything's not centered and asking me to put the throttle all the way down

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Can't. The radio will always yell at you when you turn it on with the stick centering option.

[@RonaldVassallo]

Hi there Bob I just wanted to know if you ship your product to Canada

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I only ship in the U.S.

[@mattiasrc]

Is a self centering stick a must or is it just for making it easier to drive it? Have a upcoming King Hauler build that im collection electronics for.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It is a must!

[@mattiasrc]

Thanks for the answer, then i will get the self centrering kit .

[@zibobman]

I have a prob with this radio, I can’t enter the menu anymore to calibrate the sticks, even if I put the sticks to the left and turn on the radio, it will stay on the main screen.., Any ideas???

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Try setting the throttle trim down then moving the throttle stick down.

[@zibobman]
