The screw on the top, supposedly, is for a phone mount. The problem with that is that it interferes with the antenna, or visa versa. I think the range of the 2 is even further than the 1 if you use the dual antenna 7 channel receiver. This will be my choice for long range FPV on my buggy. If even looooonger range is needed, the port on the left side allows you to plug in a Crossfire Lite module and its receiver (also dual antennas) that will let you drive to the moon and back. The lipo pack is great, but buy it directly from Hobby King as the Amazon price is DOUBLE!

I had a Futaba 4PV, Flysky FS GT5,Dumbo RC x6 and this. I have to say for the price that this is the biggest bargain.The range is the best of any radio I know of, the amount of features for the price, the gyro is the most powerful gyro I've ever used whether built into the receiver or even better than the external gyro. It's just a truly powerful you really can't use more than 50% gain and even this is far too powerful I think you need a really high speed servo to optimize the ability of the gyro.

I been using the same Spektrum DX3S for about 10 years now. I use it on all my boats and cars. Been wanting something a little more modern but the Spektrum works. That being said I am getting annoyed with Spektrum. They make all kinds of new RX but not compatible with the older TX lile the DX3S. Also for my boats I love the MR3000 RX but they no longer make them. It is similar to the micro RX shown in this video but it is nice because it is a 3 channel but has dual throttle and steering inputs which is nice for my boats because all my boats have two motors and two steering servos so it eliminates the need for Y connectors. Plus the MR3000 is water proof.

Great video. I just got the gt5, since everyone compare both, it is disappointing, I bought both the Radiolink and the Flysky with my own money and only good thing about the Gt5 is looks and ergonomics, for everything else: radiolink; better usability and navigation through the system, more intuitive, wide range of compatible lipos, far more functions IF you need them, they dont get in the way, insane range, customizable buttons, trigger tension adjustments, all their receivers are rated for up to 10V and send telemetry back to the radio (lipo voltage, rx voltage and rssi signal strength) without any hassle for the user… To put it simply (and Im a HUGE fan of flysky and own 4 of their radios) the Gt5 feels like it is from the 20th century compared to the Rc6gs v2…
