Flysky G7P Unboxing, Latency Test & First Impressions - Perfect for 1/28!

[@BeaversHobby]

So far I've got 2 problems. - The sticky button I mentioned at 03:50, I took the transmitter apart and the problem is from the bad switch unit. Not that I'll use it anyway but you should know the QC is not that good. - It resets itself with just a light tap. The battery compartment doesn't seem to be holding it well. Such a shame, it's got great features with good selection of receivers.

[@stalyun8211]

great video review. Have you had any other QC issues with it? Did you ever find an avenue to buy the foam wheel as an accessory?

[@BeaversHobby]

@@stalyun8211 Just those 2 where the button is a bit harder to fix. The battery tray has problem in the slot so if you trim some of the plastic down it'll work fine. As for the wheel upgrade, you can get the foam wheel version on Aliexpress. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004371293939.html

I didn't know they had such small drift cars! Very cool

[@skree_fpv436]

Great overview on this radio Beaver! Lots of features for the price. I think this will be a good radio for someone just starting the hobby. The fact that Flysky officially makes a nano sized rx for 1/28 scale is fantastic. The lack of foam or even rubber on the wheel is a big letdown. Flysky makes a better wheel for this radio but you have to buy it separately.

Latency for flysky gt5 pls also

[@hichamelkhoury7087]

I liked the table at the end comparing the remotes it4s seems very fast with the old receivers have you tested the older it4 with any of the first generation receivers?

[@BeaversHobby]

Unfortunately I don't have the it4. Presumably it's the same as it4s.

[@hichamelkhoury7087]

@@BeaversHobby thank you for the quick reply its not it used the AFHDS2 which was used only by it and a few other transmitters before they released the AFHDS2 A so different protocols but it can bind to the older receivers

[@BeaversHobby]

@@hichamelkhoury7087 Oh I meant it would be the same when using with the 1st generation AFHDS. Take a look at the FS-GR3E on the table.

[@Immortal_Her0]

how long does it last in single battery pack?

[@BeaversHobby]

To be honest I never let the battery run out and I usually charge it after a driving session (about 4-5 hours). Anyway, I use the Ikea Ladda 2450mAh and it still has a lot left after each session.

[@oliverstoys8411]

Another awesome video, very informative and unfiltered review👍🏻. Latency definitely important information about the radios, I hope you do a latency review Radiolink RC8x.

[@BeaversHobby]

I've been trying to get that as review unit. But if I have to buy one myself, honestly at that price I would buy Futaba 4PM Plus instead.

[@oliverstoys8411]

@@BeaversHobby you are right Beaver, the RC8X i just received latency not great, it's slower than my old sanwa Mx3FG FHSS. I am hoping to be at least the same speed to my NB4 and MT44, the RC8X unfortunately very slow in servo response.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@oliverstoys8411 Thanks for the update. That is to be expect, They are using the same protocol as the one before so even if the processor is faster, it can only do so much before it hits the limit.

[@jakobwieberneit6616]

Is it better than the GT5? I’m still deciding between these.

[@BeaversHobby]

G7P is better. It has better performance, better receivers and better battery compatibility. If you will also use it with a car with 4 wheel steering, G7P also has a dedicated mixing mode for it.

[@Funkymojo75]

Thanks for the review. It's good. So is there anyway to change the steering wheel?

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, there's upgrade wheel on sale. Better still, there're shops on aliexpress that sell the G7P with foam wheel fitted as standard. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004371293939.html

[@Funkymojo75]

@@BeaversHobby thanks for the prompt reply. I'll check it out. I've seen the G7P online with the sponge on the wheel but I still find the standard wheel too plasticky looking. Hahahahaha...

[@markfitzurka9995]

I am in the market for another transmitter. right now I am using a raidolink and so far it seems to do what I need it to. I watch lots of your videos and notice that you don't have any brand loyalty and you go from high end to cheaper ones. I am not looking to break the Bank. what would you recommend right now. Lots of the sub 100 ones out there. Probably going to get it from AliExpress but if you have any other recommendations I am always open to your suggestions. Thanks for always sterling me in the right direction Mark

[@BeaversHobby]

If you have many Radiolink receivers that you still use, another Radiolink is always a good choice. RC6GS V3 is a really robust transmitter. Flysky G7P is good if you need the micro receiver with JST-ZH plug (if you do 1/28, 1/24 for example). And if you need the servo frequency setting. Otherwise, it's not as rugged nor well-built as Radiolink and the latency is the same so I don't see much point using G7P apart from the need of 2 things I mentioned above. Another good choice is Futaba 3PV if you can get it for less than $100. It's usually $130-150. And even the 3rd party receivers are like $20+ a piece. So, not much of a budget but it has good build quality. I wouldn't recommend stretching your budget to get it. Right now Radiolink is still the best for under $100. G7P is good if you have specific needs and Futaba is excellent if you can get it for cheap.

[@goingcrazy00]

Is that the d1802mg servo in there? Looks pretty good if it is.

[@BeaversHobby]

No, but it's the same size. I also have the D1802MG but it's in another car.

[@goingcrazy00]

@@BeaversHobby what servo are you using in this video. There is minimal wheel shake.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@goingcrazy00 It's the standard servo from XRX DPA so, basic metal gear 5g servo. Probably stamped out of the same factory as D1802MG.

[@christianyvesiroy3787]

Such a small receiver, is it compatible with FSGT5?

[@BeaversHobby]

Unfortunately no. It's the new protocol and doesn't have backward compatibility.

What micro receiver is it?

[@BeaversHobby]

FS-R4M

[@disneychan-h9x]

Is it support gyro?

[@BeaversHobby]

@@disneychan-h9x Yes. You can use ant gyro then assign a knob or a rocker to channel 3 to adjust gyro gain.

[@808DC2R]

Does this come with Gyro internal? Is it good for a drift car 1/28?

[@BeaversHobby]

Unfortunately there's no internal gyro. But it's great for 1/28 whether drifting or touring. For RWD drift we always use external gyro so there's not going to be a problem either way.

[@808DC2R]

@@BeaversHobby Awesome I’m looking into getting a transmitter/radio for my 1/28 micro cars. Have a mini Z and k989 cars also. Do u know what part number to use for a micro 1/28 transmitter receiver? What gyro also do u recommend. Thanks…

[@BeaversHobby]

@@808DC2R For 1/28 the receiver is FlySky FS-R4M. IT will come with JST-ZH plug ready for 1/28 electronics from major brands like Atomic, GL, Furitek, etc. As for the gyro, the best one for the size is AGF GY04M V3 or AFRC GYS-2 V3. There are others with the same case and board, basically they are the same gyro but with different branding.

[@BeaversHobby]

It depends on what you want to do for touring or racing then get a RWD that has 98mm wheelbase like McLaren P1 or Audi R8. For drifting get the AWD with 90 or 94mm wheelbase like the new Supra, Skyline, AE86 or Subaru Impreza with bodykit.

Check out razor RC's review where he shows quite some major issues, especially in the end of the video where he shows how the battery connectors fail and the remote resets just like that... I'm happy with my gt5

[@BeaversHobby]

I saw yours just when I updated this on the pinned comment. Yes, I also got the self-reset problem with just a light tap on the transmitter.

[@mikewilson6019]

That was the amazon batteries he was using. For 5 dollars more you can include the 2s lipo battery or any other cells work well. It's a better feeling radio than the 5 - also they all seem to come with foam wheels now.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@mikewilson6019 If it comes with foam wheel now it's fantastic! When used with lipo or anything that plugs into the JST under, there's no random restart anymore so the problem is clearly in the battery compartment.
