Disclaimer: the LEDs are NOT part of the gimbal and are a separate accessory. Correction: the accessory springs are WEAKER than the stock ones, not STRONGER -- I got that wrong. Get the LED rings for your gimbals at: bit.ly/2Z2n5KG

Holy shite, 79.99 each, or 129.99 a set. They seem really nice and if they fit the QX-7 or the Jumper T-6 I would probably get them. I think I paid 29.99 each for hall gimbals for the QX7, but not that quality.

Pro tip; if you still have your Radiomaster TX16s foam case it comes in, you can flip your radio upside down in it and work on the back without your nice new gimbals rubbing and pushing into the table.

Oh my GOD!!! The gimbals on a $1200 radio are better than the gimbals on a $180 radio?? :D They dang well better be! I had noticed the flex on the gimbals of my TX-16s. To compensate, I am VERY careful when I do a calibration and have even gone into Companion and tweaked the calibration data to guarantee a +100 & -100 resting position with no contact with the stick. Other than this, the original gimbals are very good. I can't say that I have noticed any effect from this flex (or other minor flaws of the gimbals) in flight. Still... I am now very tempted by these new gimbals. I really wondered about these gimbals when I firs saw them a few days ago and am glad/unhappy to have seen this video demonstrating their differences. Yes, I am somewhat of a gimbal snob even if I may not have the skill level to truly take advantage of the better hardware.

Have the TX16s "new color edition", haptic motor mount was broken out of the box. Added the CNC kit and several screw holes were stripped or posts cracked from factory, had to use lots of bigger screws to reassemble. But also anyplace the "grease" had got on the plastic it was was crumbling, like locktite does to PC. Got it working, but because it does not fit my hands have gone back to my X9D+.

Nice video! I love the look and probably the feel, if I could afford them. Mine actually didn't have that flex problem you showed at the beginning of the video, and the bending of the plastic faceplate is made moot, when they are screwed to an aluminum CNC faceplate , which is what my Max, and yours also has. My gimbals actually feel better than my old Jumper T16, so I won't be replacing them ,unless they break. Yours might be the by-product of inconsistencies of production:-)Then, I will be faced by the decision to buy these. If the radio is still in good operable condition, than I would probably pull the trigger. But so far, all is good with my Radiomaster T16S Max, and I love it. Love the fact your doing setup and programming videos on the T16S. Keep up the great work!

Joshua, you need longer throttle fingers and skinner screwdrivers, especially the screwdrivers, thay was painful to watch the wrong sized tool being used. I must be a little weird with the sticks, I reverse the heads so the knurled section is facing the gimbal, and the cone shaped collar is all the way up, to make the sticks as long as possible for a greater length arc for the degrees of movement, for as fine a granularity of control as possible.

One day someone will make a full size radio with beautiful gimbals right out of the box and they will absolutely clean up. Needs to be crossfire module compatible and with independent, easily replaced switches and feel great all over. The market is primed for a must have, do it all radio but so far I haven't seen it. These gimbals look great but they probably cost more than the radio itself which looks and feels pretty cheaply made in the hands. Maybe a Mambo 2?

I'm sure it's like the difference in a Craftsman screwdriver and a Snap-on screwdriver. A, Epiphone SG and a Gibson SG. If you rarely use it, it's not worth it. If you make a living with it or constantly use it, it is worth the extra money. A 420 stainless steel blade with aluminum handle scales and steel liner lock with bronze bushings on the pivot compared to a titanium frame lock, s35vn blade steel and ceramic ball bearings. Knife people will understand the difference there.

Bummer, I was there a while back. Got a stimulus check, and bought the Jumper T16, to replace my bricked QX7 Taranis.(this is before I watched videos on how to revive bricked radios:-( Doesn't matter, because there is a noticeable control difference between the two. Now that I Bought a Radiomaster T16S, I could sense a small difference in the gimbals between those two. Stuff just keeps getting better. T16S is the best radio I've used. It was worth the jump to Hall effect gimbals for the control improvement.Hope you'll be able to try it sometime. Happy flying, it's good with Taranis also.

Did you ever grease your gimbals? I have jumper tx12, and from the factory one of the gimbals even squeaked a little bit, I used lithium grease and it bece very smooth. Can't do anything with flex, just don't push it too far, but they are buttery smooth now

this is EXACTLLY what I've been waiting for, I fly mode 1 and do quick full stick rolls all the time while my rates are also kinda steep at the end, so when I suddenly lower the throttle to minimum while doing full stick roll(which both happen on the right stick) gimbal flex will effect my roll input so sometimes can't get full 100% of rolling speed, this will fix my problem.

Instead of using a 5000mah LiPo, just buy 2 Sony VTC6 18650s. They are rated for 3000mAh each, are lighter and easier to charge
@JoshuaBardwell
@JoshuaBardwell 3 жыл бұрын
Not sure how they are easier to charge, since the radio has internal charging. Just plug in USB. Done. The 18650 do deliver 3000 mAh. Mine delivers 5000 mAh. And it fits perfectly in the battery bay so it doesn't rattle. That's why I switched.

@@JoshuaBardwell I totally agress with you. What I meant was if you like to charge LiPos or 18650s externally, it's easier with 18650 since you don't need to babysit them and chargers are cheaper and simpler to use. My 18650 tray (that was included with the TX16S) doesn't rattle, there is a thick piece of foam on the lid. And a 20% increase in battery was a big deal to me

Hi Joshua! I have a problem with my quad, I can't use it with a pwm frequency lower than 32Khz. For example, if I use 24Khz, the quad starts to do yaw twitches. I'm not sure what could be causing this problem. All started when I had a Hglrc F722 Fc with a Hglrc Forward 60A 4 in 1 esc on the quad, but the twitches were in the yaw and pitch axis. Later, I decided to change the flight controller, because I thought it could be a bad gyro problem, I installed a Hobbywing xrotor f7 Fc, but the problem didn't go away. I'm not sure if I have bad luck with bad gyros or if the esc could be causing it. The flight controller is soft mounted and the esc has a 1000uF capacitor, the build is clean, the frame doesn't have any cracks, it's a new build. I saw a video from FlightOne where they talk about yaw twitches and they said that the esc could be causing the problem. The quad is flyable with 32Khz and above, but the motors get hot. If I change the esc will the problem solve?

I think pretty much every gimbal has 4 bearings hell my $60 devo from like 10 years ago had 4 bearing gimbals. As does my $70 T-lite maybe the "higher end" brands don't have them haha. I wonder if these have ceramic bearings they would make a really nice ELRS handset build though.
