Great job on the execution. Honestly this is one of the smoothest how to vids. I just got one of these Flysky radios i normally use Spectrum radios but i also have a squad of traxxas vehicles. This Flysky radio i got for a new HPI Savage 21 project. Nicely done on the vid 👍

Great modification, really great idea. The 8 batteries / weight bothered me at the time, so I decided to go with the flysky gt3c. A good cheap spark for amateur hobby use, maybe not for professionals but it is enough for me and completely satisfied with it. I use them for a total of 5 rc models

When I was getting into the hobby, I noticed that I can convert gt3b to lipo (bigger battery than gt3c), so went that route. It has been a great transmitter so far.

Hi. what happen to the white signal wire from the remote? I noticed you only use black and red.
@BigSungHobbies Жыл бұрын
The white wire is for the balance port. I do not modify the cables on balance port as it is still used while charging. I modify the black and red wire of the power to JST style plug. Hope that makes sense.

Great video. I just got this transmitter for my son. Does it have to be a 3S battery? Could I use a 850mah battery or would that not last long?
@BigSungHobbies2 жыл бұрын
I recommend using 3S as 8 x AA (1.5v) equals to 12v. You could use any size battery, but I find that 1500mAh works wonderfully. You could always try and if you don't like the runtime, then change up.

Would you use a 3s lipo for any remote that takes x8 battery's?
@BigSungHobbies Жыл бұрын
Basic rule of thumb is calculation per power need. For example: 1.5v x 8 = 12v needed which means that you need to use 3S (11.1v). 2S (7.4v) might not have enough power to power it. At least that's the way I understand it, but I have not tried 2S.

Cutoff is built into the transmitter. I think there is a setting that you can choose, but it's been so long. A quick search should be able to get you the information.
