Flysky G7P Review - better than the Flysky GT5?

[@ArtietheArchon]

truly packed with features, including two-way communication for monitoring of battery voltage. personally I'm getting one for its ability to quickly bias the throttle and brake separately for my nitro truck. although many transmitters can do this, the g7p can be set up to do it as quickly as my old 27mhz analog HI/LO volume knobs

[@user-tt9xt7gs2b]

The one surprise i got with this new radio is that the RX that comes with it is NOT SVC capable and there isn't currently an RX available for it that is. I felt more than a little let down when I got my G7P and realized this to be the case.

[@xKmotx]

I just bought one, and when testing it out I found the response for the steering was sluggish. I changed servo frequency, I changed servos, still was draggy and glitchy around the neutral point. Although this radio has a lot of programing ability, it also has some drawbacks. I did not like how the main screen would not show the sensor info for attached sensors. I did not like the cheap plastic construction. I understand it's only a $75 radio so I would have accepted that. But the steering issue was unacceptable. For a rock crawler it probably would not matter. But for a faster on road car, or a FE boat, it was not acceptable. So I returned the radio.

[@andrewmasaberg1116]

I just ordered one, can’t wait!

on my gt5 i put a lipo battery and instead of removing it every time i need to charge i notched a small notch in the battery tray with my dremel so my balance port sticks out and i use myt stock scx24 charger for my remote...i wish my htrc t400 duo would charge with balance plug only but i havent figured that out yet...great review

[@NANNIRC]

An other bull eyes from FlySky! I remember in the '80/'90 an ACOMS radio 2 channel, AM with long antenna, 8 AA batteries (NiCad with memory problems) in Italy was about 150 $ and it was the entry level. And I don't tell about Futaba, Sanwa and the queen Multiplex for those you had to go to the bank for a robbery...... Ciao!!

Hey Fran, Mario from Knights Ferry Crawlers here again. I just heard BARC is meeting, and greeting at Knights Ferry, for a crawl session April 2nd at 9:00am. I am not on Facebook, so you’ll have to check out the details, but we’ll hope to see you there.

[@fishycomics]

I had the Gt3, gt5 sold off and wanted to now see what is available again years later and looks like (for me) the GT5 I should repurchase. and will be a GT5. thanks for the review really appreciate it helping to make my decisions easier. FISH

[@CookieManCookies]

I wish they'd review the Sanwa M17, Fly Sky Noble N4, and N4 Pro... :P Maybe a comparison with the receivers.. seems you can get telemetry like battery voltage, motor heat, etc.. although it seems these tend to be proprietary features that require specific hardware in order to work properly.

[@waynef3297]

Sounds so good that I ordered one.

[@norsefalconer]

Timely. We're looking for a multi-vehicle Tx for my wife, who's new to the hobby. I like the 7 ch capability. She'll like the low $ receivers. Thanks for the review!

[@DeliberateNRandom]

I'm super jealous, still seeing that Mad Van in the back! I'm thinking about getting the Big Rock for $320 with the Arrmagetem code.

[@GrimJerr]

GT5 does mixing on channel 3 so that's not new. GT5 is what I use for my 4WS rigs. Got my 1st GT5 with my Gen8 Axe and Got a second one so I can bring a friend out with another RC from my team if they don't have a driver. The RX talk back is nice for telemetry information, heat and battery info is key, speed would be even better. for $19 RX I would be amazed if it had an accelerometer.

[@timpowers9429]

First thing I thought of. Hope it’s compatible with BS6.

I use a small 6v 500mW power supply. I realize sometimes the next move is in the hands of the enthusiast. Elvis is Alive.

[@mickd8188]

My complaint with the gt5 was you couldn't change switch positions and channel assign, this has been added to this radio so am keen to give it a go. Cheers mate 👍

[@grrfy]

yeah not being able to assign the giro to a channel with a dial is just annoying,no adjustment on the fly ,even a 30$ dumbo has that. Can this do that?

[@grrfy]

oh have just read no recievers with vsc are available.

[@dustintarpley7772]

Mine didn't come with the foam wheel or any of the accessories you got. Kind of sucks cause i partially bought it after seeing all the stuff you got but I haven't used it yet so it may still be worth the money. Thanks for another good review.

since i replaced the voltage regulator with a more efficient one tripling the battery life of my gt3b it works good enough, i just wished i could find the compatible receivers with the gyro, can never find any from US seller once in a while a few will show up from a china or hong kong with a 4 to 6 week shipping time which is too long......

[@joshthrasher9824]

Great looking product! Love this kinda content! I would like to see another servo test on a NHX Max6 servo... Stats claimed on it are insane!! Put it to the test!!

[@GrimJerr]

I see additional FS-R7P Reciever are $19 on Bangood

[@ignasanchezl]

Range test just reduces the transmitting power (dec=decreased) Common on all air radios. You would walk a determined distance from your receiver and see when you loose signal, without having to walk super far. That scales up to full range.

[@northernlightsrc8994]

Can you program 20 rigs in this one like the gt5

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

But... will the GT5 6ch reciever bind to it? Thats what i want to know... or do i have to buy a bunch of new recievers?

[@DutchRC]

you'll need new receivers

[@indybama80]

So the ia6 rx wont work with it? They support the i-BUS feature. Id love to b able to mix a few ch, but the idea of having to buy new rxs is aggrevating. Granted, the g7p rx is about the same price as the ia6 or the bs6

I purchased the RedCat Everest 10 and I also have a reverse steering kit. Will this transmitter let me control reverse steering as I need it? I don't want reverse steering engaged all the time. Also if you know how to set it up on the transmitter could you make a video please?

[@sharkey9]

I always loved Flysky radios but the one thing I really hated is the non-existant backwards compatibility. Almost every new radio means a new protocol. So I will stick with my GT3B and their lovely 5$ receivers.

I agree do refuse to get this

[@toletony]

Great video, well presented. I am looking at purchasing the G7P .. but am seeing a number of Receivers available.. FS-R7P, FS-R7D for example - which is best? or suited to Scale Crawling.. I can guess the differences-but not sure which to buy. Is the Flysky FS-G7P still a viable Tx, now 2 years later? ..doesn't seem readily available in Australia, unless there is a exclusive distributor I have not found yet.. Any update you could provide would be gratefully approcisted.. thanks Geoff

[@arsonist3013]

Question about the amperage capabilities of receivers in general. Do you or anyone else know how many amps a receiver can supply? Ive never liked the added wiring associated with becs so I've always purchased escs based on how many amps they're able to deliver through the internal Bec. The other day I noticed one of my flysky receivers had a 2 amp marking but I can't find anything in the specs about amps. It would be a shame for me ESC to be capable of 6 amps whilst me receiver was only capable of 2 amps.

[@Iamfirebird360]

Good question

[@tedshickell7315]

How about showing a range booster set up for the gt5

The thing with flysky now is its not cheap/reasonable any more, certainly not in the UK. For the difference in cost I would buy higher end brand.

[@haroldsbeaver206]

After watching your video I bought the fleshy G7p transmitter and receiver. I was trying to add some expo to the power curve. In other videos the curve would go positive and negative expo. With mine I could only go positive. I found going through the menus difficult. At some of the lower menus I couldn't return to the top no mater what button I was using. I hope other people have luck with it, but I'm going back to spectrum.

[@andyb4796]

While you change the percentage, move the accelerator lever

[@levethane]

Disappointing it comes with a cheapy plastic wheel as standard and it's not compatible with the older (and much cheaper) receivers. I think many people would be happy to pay a bit more for a higher quality feel.
