FS GT3B RADIO BEARING MOD RC TIPS "long version"

[@mazpr2025]

Harbor Freight batteries are gold. Part of the deal is the quality of the charger, and never ever let them overcharge/heatup. Great video, will attempt this mod. Edit: Just did, added some epoxy E600, and now that I had opened it glued 2 heavy steel nuts to balance the weight on the transmitter. Feels snug, and no more play in the steering wheel, smooth as butter.

[@bruceang82]

did just as you said but since we are going SAE 15/32 to 12mm , you will need to take off approx 0.150 more off with a round file ,or use a 12mm drill bit. worked good though & really made it feel more precise. thank for the tip Mike

[@rcyalater...2305]

Awesome my man. I did it right along with you, used a body reamer for the drill. But brilliant!

[@georgepacey2503]

i just put a tiny dab of grease on the steering wheel shaft and that stopped my squeaking. great tutorial anyway i love watching all the mods you can do to the fs gt3b

[@constantine2731]

Thanks for your vid made my gt3b that bit better ...Gona put my noble down for ABIT and rock this when bashing

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Great tip! That's really a fantastic radio for the price. It seems to do more than my Futaba 3PRKA, and costs a little more than HALF! Granted, my Futaba has almost twice the range, but they're both in the same range of middle line remotes. I got a FS GT2B for my Lunchbox basher, but the GT3B seems like much better value, since I could run 10 cars on one, right? I just subbed you, I feel like this old fart(53), could use some refresher courses on R/C advancements I've missed during my 21 year hiatus from the Hobby!

[@kyngadrian4692]

@Nolan Nova Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kyngadrian4692]

@Nolan Nova WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! Just hacked my instagram password within ~ 30 mins by using the site. Just had to pay 15 $ but for sure worth the price =) Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@nolannova9008]

@Kyng Adrian Glad I could help :)

[@leonardofiorini3496]

Thank you! I broke the steering wheel spring and I have to open the control. Really useful video!

[@allwayzactive4599]

Yes 😂🤣 made my day

[@Yacht5.56]

Same damn thing happened to me

[@vapelounge6110]

great video sir and killer collection of rigs! im just getting into the hobby and have a fully upgraded all rpm and traxxas and integy aluminum everything 2wd slash, as well as a super hopped up 4wd slash same as the 2wd, a scx10.2 chweokee super modded with a lot of beef tube products and vanquish, and a 2wd rustler all red rpm parts and all red atomic rc aluminum n bell crank etc... just ordered one of these and a 5 pack of recievers that should be here tomorrow, already got the recievers but the seller of the radio on ebay is super slowwww! I will probably do this off rip, my buddy recommended this radio to me because money is tight and he said its a good budget friendly radio, I may end uo getthin the new version in time that has 2 batteries and a touch screen, one battery is the whole bottom base and the other battery is in the pistol grip

[@marcogarofalo6343]

great help thank you. I just purchased one of these, and I was wondering about the voltage difference between alkaline and rechargeable AA's thanks. Great mod also.

[@rcmikeklein5512]

you will see a difference in voltage but they both work fine.

[@rcmikeklein5512]

8x12mm i mentioned it with part number in video

[@tomb816]

It would seem that the only reason it might "squeak" is from the plastic shaft rubbing on the plastic cover. Once the shaft hole is opened, regardless of whether a bearing is inserted or not, the offending interface would've been removed. I see no point in the bearing.

[@kazainyt8438]

i like your car hobby

[@facebiter]

johnny Vegas is doing reviews!!!

[@kosh142]

its a sideline to Ideal lol

[@rubenmartin7759]

For me the problem is very small turn of the wheel, the only mod I see over there is a pully system that actually make two wheels one for drive and one for multiply the movement right on the sensor. I can't make an electric mod for having same results? This transmisor only turns quarter an hour, there is some one can turn half? 🙈 🙈 🙈 Thank you the tip is great the video is super easy!

[@rcmikeklein5512]

thanks, I do this mod to all the gt3b radios, just makes it a little smoother

[@rubenmartin7759]

@@rcmikeklein5512 it it posible to change sensor or something and make turn more? I will definitely put the bearing but I want more turn. Expensives set does? Thanks!

[@rcmikeklein5512]

@@rubenmartin7759 yes, set the end point to up to 125% on the radio.

[@1dirtovalracer]

Does the gt3c require this mod or has it already been done in the radio from factory?

[@ahmaddaniel5290]

What's for to install that bearing?? Because it's just look like same, before n after. Sorry to say

[@rcmikeklein5512]

Over time the stock steering wheel starts to squeak and with the bearing, the wheel feels better and is much smoother

[@Susipaddy]

Hi there! I have made the bearing mod and after a while the squeek came back. I can not really find where it´s coming from. The bearing turns as it should.

[@rcmikeklein5512]

the shaft that the wheel is attached has a spring loaded plastic return mechanism inside and it rubs on a low spot witch in time can also squeak, a little lithium grease helps quiet the issue.

[@tonyallen8626]

what are if any some of the problems you have come across using this radio to race with

[@rcmikeklein5512]

this radio really doesn't have problems however it lacks some features that higher quality race radios have such as throttle curve profiles, steering mixing, punch control, high precision exponential but if you don't need these features this radio is a much better option than the stock rtr radio and the receivers are under 10 dollars each. So to recap you could race with this radio however as your skills improve you will want a radio with all the race options and settings, I love his radio and have many but I don't do much racing with it.

[@Pimpli011]

Hi! What are the dimensions of the bearing? Thanks

[@jonienglish3231]

my gt3b does not Power up ?? after sttting for 1 year what gives ?

[@rcmikeklein5512]

check list first, batteries, clean battery connections, make sure batteries are touching the terminals then check again and if all fails, well it's another 35 bucks and all new again.
