Great video thanks Bob

[@Aussiem8e]

Thanks bob! Ive got an excavator and a dump truck, so that second option is perfect.

[@Rimrock300]

I've heard lot's of good words about this radio from people who have tried it, and got years of experiences with different radios and brands. Very easy to set up, and with 3D sticks included at a reasonable price. As of August 2021 a small percentage of the first batch of radios have issues with the thouch screen not working properly. I early in summer heard rumors about it some mentioning it on a forum. Now my friend got one of those with default screen in the summer. He contacted the seller at aliexpress, and they sent a new screen right away. However it was not just to hook up the new screen like that, at first it didn't work. My friend got in direct thouch with Flysky and they intstructed in detail how to hook up and get the new screen running. They were well aware of this issue happened to some of these radios. Hopefully and likely they will /have sorted it out now. Will advice for anyone ordering in 2021 to ask the seller turn the radio on and test the screen before shipping, just in case. That said, it is not a big issue as I understand it, just a small percentage.

[@podiumrc]

keep up the great work!

[@AgentRafa]

This is brilliant. I'm not an RC'er yet, because I live in an apartment in a city and my backyard is small and I share it with 5 other people, but in a few years I will move outside the city and I'll start with this awesome hobby. And I've been thinking about this; if I'm playing around with a tipper truck and an excavator would I need two highly expensive controllers and switch between them? This answered my question. Thank you Mr. Wizard.

[@Rimrock300]

It's a great thing with the possibility to have a sperate receiver in both the truck and trailer, I know several friends in the hobby using this setup at some more advanced models. Personally I prefer going for the new Beier trailer module with outout for 4 servos/ESC in addition to all the lights by IR connection (or bluetooth). One can control servos and ESC with the seperate receiver in the trailer, but one also need to transfere the light signals, which can't be done with the receiver, so the Beier module will be a 2 in 1 I guess. I see a good use for 2 receivers in a advanced crane truck, to get enough channels; one for the standard motor control, steering, lights and such, and no 2 for operating the hydraulics/crane

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I hope to do a video soon on the Beier IR unit. It is very nice!

[@jjrc9655]

Buenas, muy bueno, Gracias

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Bob.... You're making my FlySky FS6X look like a POS!!!! 😳😁 This is an awesome Radio.... and I may pull the trigger at some point. I'm STILL trying to make my first Beier USM-RC-2 actually WORK. I'm starting to believe that I'm overlooking something OBVIOUS. 😵

[@carstensmollich3768]

Hi there, for the first thing, there are more radios, which can do dual receivers and multi modell switch by standard setup. For example look for the brixl, scaleart, servonaut or blauzahn radio. All these are able to do it with more then just 10 oder 12 channels. For what are U need more Channels? 1. Sterring, 2. Speed, 3 Gearshift, 4-7 differential looks (front, middle, 2 rear axels, 8. hydraulik pump, 9&10 hydraulik servos for tipper functions. 11. sound (maybe up to 3 for different horn, noises and so on) 12. Light (using kingbus. or up to 6 channels otherwise.) 13. trailer stands, 14 trailer hydraulik pump, 15 hydraulic valve etc... Even then thx for the review and the hints for do it with the flysky, which is much cheaper, the same as the receivers.

[@mitschka]

Brixl and all ths Controllers are more expensiv

[@javiersocas8837]

Hola una pregunta se podria vincular mas de 2 osea por ejemplo 2 retroexcavadora y 1 camion? Un saludo

[@blackdawgrc8425]

Wonderful video Mr Bob! 📹 😇😎💯🙏👍👍👍👍👍😱😱😱👊🏆🤜🤛🥳🎉🍻

[@georgeharris8460]

Can you tell me how to us the battery monitor wire that comes with the receiver to monitor the main pack voltage

The 20 model memory is very much. Can the import / export model be used to backup and change in and out models?

[@royboydanny1415]

Hi Bob, the transmitter is very expensive, over £400 in the uk. Great vids 👍

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It is expensive but for great models you need a great radio!

[@Rimrock300]

For what it is, it is the lowst cost around. Compare it to Servonaut and FrSky Horus with 3D sticks which will be about x2. 400 is reasonable for the ones who are into high end crane trucks, expencive excavators ++. If one just got a standard Tamiya truck, it's overkill with this one naturally)

[@jebster33]

Can I use this technique to get up to the 18 separate channels or do I need to use the match cable setup from your other video?

[@diegocazzuli1351]

Hello, do you know if it is possible to do it with the frsky xe? Thanks

[@nikosyoutsos]

can I connect the side levers, for throttle and steering wheel to channels 13 & 14? changes can be made in general, which switch will be on each channel? Thank you my friend...

[@liftmys10]

Bob, what version firmware is your radio on?

[@dondesormeauxrcadventures7551]

Amazing radio. Now if I could setup my Tamiya king hauler with mfc, my hydraulic ramp trailer with lights and my hydraulic Huina excavator all with the same radio without having to turn off the truck and trailer to use the excavator....

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can do that with this radio. Allows for model combinations. You can push one switch to go between 2 different models.

[@TheNZSlayer]

Hi Can u switch between more than 2 models? This amazing I had the scaleart commander SA5000 with the switch between models . But that was 3500 euros, now this feature is on a low cost radio it’s fantastic,

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can only switch between 2.

[@nicolazanetti]

Hey Bob, the double receiver is a duplication of channels? Like “ two channel 1s”,” two channels 2s” etc.. or can it be used to add channels, like with a 8 channels receiver and a 12 channels receiver can I have 20 separated channels?

[@loicclanget3120]

How many mixes do the Radio have ?

[@elliot330]

Great video... taught me how to do it thank you. Just one more question, is it possible to edit the function text?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

If you want to edit the function text just go to the function name and go to the very bottom of the name list. The name will be Custom (AUX4) for example on channel 4. When you highlight that a keyboard will pop up and you can backspace to erase the name then type in what you want.

[@elliot330]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC that worked - thank you Bob.

[@mrtyko]

Hello, thanks for the videos. I wonder if this radio can handle this: I want a thought to run according to the position of the stick. To the front it goes forward. To the front left it turn to the left and so on. So if you put the stick bottom left, the tank will revers to the left and vice versa. Hope you can help me. Thanks for a great channel.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yep, the radio will do it.

[@flyboyzkzn]

Hi I have the PaladIn PL 18 AND WANT TO USE TWO FTR10 RECEIVERS NOT FOR MORE CHANNELS BUT ONE AS MASTER AND ONE AS SATELITE FOR A BETTER SIGNAL IS THAT POSSIBLE AT ALL

[@ForDJWiz]

Bob, Is it possible to bind 3 receivers to use if to have 2 different trailers (flatbed and tanker)? Of coarse you would only be using 2 receivers at a time.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I think you can use more than 2 receivers but have not tested myself.

[@awesomusmaximus3766]

Oh cool it can be done but how many vehicles can you do the Scale art commander has model switching too

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can switch between 2 at a time. Difference between this and the Scale Art Commander is a LOT of $$$

[@awesomusmaximus3766]

Hello I have now a Taranis-E X9E and if this problem I have now. Will be solved with the PL18 EV I will order that radio. Can you please make a video on the mixer on PL18 EV for track vehicle. So they turn in the direction you have the stick. I my radio the tank turns and drive right in all directions except when I go back and want to turn left. (Stick down to the Left.) The tank is turning backwards to the right. And the opposite when I try to go back and turn right. (Stick down to the Right.) The tank is turning backwards to the right. Please inform me, and show me with a video. So I can do it my self when I buy the radio. Have a nice day and stay safe (covid) Love from Sweden. Robert

[@davidedds6935]

Can it do dual receivers AND dual models at the same time? Like say a truck and wireless trailer with seperate paired 6 channel receivers, then flip a switch and change to a different model like a dozer or excavator on the lowboy?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I am sure you can. Certainly you can flip a switch to change models.
