Radiolink RC6GS 2.4G and Dual Antennas - Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) - Telemetry and Gyro

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Great video Dmitri!!! You just showed me my next controller and receiver combination that is awesome I can’t wait to put it on one of my gassers!!! Great watch brother!!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey ben! whats up my dude. My motto has always been to keep the radio setup simple and easy to use, and I never really went all out on features. This is the first time I'm actually running a modern tech radio and loving it. Honestly the 2S lipo powering it and the long range and voltage is what really got me. You cannot go wrong with this. 2 antennas man. 2!!!

[@edmundjohnson1198]

nice Radio,I love its RC car voltage telemetry and long 1900feet distance, and the receiver which have Gyro only over 20 usd,that's so cheaper than Futuba and Spektrum, and package price only $75. nice performance and nice price ,thanks share, your fans~

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, thanks for watching. Yup, I've never purchased a high end overpriced futaba or spectrum radio because their receivers are crazy prices. This brand has better functionality and receivers that cost less than 20 bucks. My main favorite feature on this is the Dual antennas and the RSSI feature which tells you how strong your signal is, I don't think any other brand has this.

[@RCRoads]

Nice job covering this remote. I have been using the RC4G2 for a while and love how it functions. I just ordered the RC6GS mainly for the price and 1/4" treaded mount on top. There is a mini phone jack next to the USB port and I still don't know what that's for. In the manual it's shown as a simulator port. They are old and outdated but I like that they "don't" have a touch screen. 👍

[@lilnash7]

i use this radio for all my cars for the past year paired to different receivers its really a good radio and the range on this thing is unbelievable super happy with it. receivers are cheap too what a bargain

[@nick-dm3if]

i just picked one up on amazon , im watching the video waiting for the mail to get here, the reason i bought it was because no other radio has these features and people spend hundreds of dollars for what this thing comes with at 75 bucks. i bought it to use with vrc pro because it has the trainer port.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!! Good point on the VRC pro software, I glossed over the trainer port, but you are right, that is a key feature, along with the easy USB update options from their website. My main thing is I wanted a feature packed radio that could run a lipo with no mods and had cheap and powerful receivers with gyros. This thing has it all.

[@Clickbaiters]

The best radio right now given it's features, build quality, support and range is the Flysky Noble NB4. I'm blown away by NB4, it does what my old 7PX did and MORE. Their gyro is coming soon so then the radio will truly have it all! Once you hold one, it makes every other radio you've owned feel like a giant brick.

[@hybrid32494]

sup bro! I just looked it up, the only thing it is missing is some 1080P resolution, hahaa. JK. Over 150 bucks though and half the signal range, but that display is dope I agree.

[@Clickbaiters]

@@hybrid32494 Well, the range is a matter of the RX. Flysky makes a 10 channel aircraft diversity RX that is compatible with the Noble (Noble can output 8 channels) and that should have more range. Just haven't seen anyone test it though. I'd rather have a feature packed radio than being able to drive 2k feet, my vision is only good to 1850ft anyway😂😂 $70 is hard to beat though!!

[@cyclicracer]

YESS!!! Finally a review on the RC6GS. It's a bit late for me as I got it for my Tmaxx a couple weeks ago. But I can tell you it was worth every penny. 23 adjustable settings, telemetry, and built in failsafe, and diversity antennas on the receiver. Only cons of this radio are the quality of the foam on the steering wheel, plastic on the radio, and the fact that the failsafe kicks in around one and a half seconds after the signal loss. Still, better than buying a 20$ failsafe for my FM buggy. By the way, to hook up to a nitro, use a 2s lipo connected to the BAT port using the included JST and another to the PPM port on the bottom using another JST. This receiver can go up to 3s, but it won't output 6v, it'll output whatever you hooked into it. (In my case, 2s lipo at 7.4v.) This burned out all my servos, since it was outputting around 8 volts. So either get yourself high voltage servos that can withstand the extra voltage(which is what I did but its expensive), or get a BEC from Turnigy. Cheers from California!

[@jacenbjork5190]

I just got one about a week ago and I love it. Its super sensitive and accurate. Way better than my gt3.

[@chairhappy3838]

This seems really good. A gyro by itself is around $25 so to have everything as a package for $75 is a great deal

[@hybrid32494]

I know right, Radio tech has come a long way and it's gotten much cheaper. My fav feature is the On board telemetry and Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), I think this is the only RX which comes with dual antennas. And the menu is quite easy to use, I was surprised. Plus any tiny 2S lipo can power the thing for a long time.

Hi Dimitri, that’s an amazing piece of kit man, I think I’ve just got to get me one of those radios 📻. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@rcjunkie260]

Dmirtiy that will be my next remote! Thank you! I was going to get a flysky not anymore!!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! what's up!! I've been using this and the flysky, it just so happened that I started with the flysky gt5, but this one is on a totally different level in terms of features. Both are easy to use and program. For electrics I would say the extra functionality of this Radio link is really nice (with the battery jumper), otherwise for gas and nitros it's pointless.

[@rcjunkie260]

These days all brushless. To know your battery level for that price!

Enjoyed the video good info on the controller excellent range like the car was out of site 👍

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, YUP! I never went that far in my life. I think I tested the visible controllable range of the radio quite well. No signal losses. This thing is used for FPV applications too, where you need alot of range because you have on-board video, you know.

[@nicholasliverance8559]

Looks fancy at first glance

[@nathanhunzeker6033]

Awesome radio! Think I'll add it to my wishlist. Hopefully, throttle trim isn't to hard to access....helps get those Nitro's warmed up. :-) Great video!

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy!! I didn't cover much of the trim setting, but I will tell you it's very convenient to use. There are real buttons for all trims on the side of the remote, and you could see it duplicated on the screen too.

Very nice will most likely get one if i ever need a new setup! Very good price for how much you get.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Yes, this is a good choice for insane features and range. Personally I love using any basic lipo to power this and the signal strength indicator.

[@eduardoramirez2232]

Really love the vids man keep it up, was wondering if you still use your Redcat shockwave because I just turned mine on after it just sitting there would love to see a video on that but keep up the good work

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! I sold my Nitro Shockwave a while back, I showed the sale results in a video too. Anyway, ye, it was a solid RC, always started and ran well. I just didn't see any more purpose in owning one since I've got so many other troublesome Nitros, lol. That shockwave never broke, so no content, ahahah. Imagine that!!

Hi there, man I need some help. I’m struggling with the stock carburettor of my LRP ZR 32 spec 4 pullstart nitro engine. Is it easy for you to do some research for me to find out a particular carburettor of another brand which I can fit in my LRP? Many thanks in advance. Keep up doing inspiring videos.

[@philthyco1]

These are nice!!!!!

[@philthyco1]

You're missing the plastic brace that keeps the batteries in place on the GT3B lol

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! I have the brace in one of my radios but not this one. For some reason it just is not very easy to close the lid with the brace in there. Plus my LCD screen is beginning to burn out on my GT3-B radio, figured I've get something else. at this point.

[@stock2exstreme851]

hello I have the r6fg receiver, where should I connect the batteries? thank you

[@allenhenry1113]

If you put this on a nitro truck or car. Can you put the battery warning on the battery pack that you use for steering and throttle control?

[@hybrid32494]

Hey man. Yes you can as long as you have the battery jumper correctly on just like i showed in the video. The alarm is just a manual setting that will beep at any voltage you set on the remote. I went as low as 3 volts and it still would work if you had anything that would be under 3v.

I remember back in the day when you had to buy an external failsafe for the old school am/fm radios, lol, That was not fun. This one is great, I will show how to set it when I run this on my nitro Savage XL.

[@rclife9725]

Hybrid my brother how you doing good to see you again I have a question and I wonder if it's from the antenna not being 30° or 90° if you add this problem let me know please or if you know something I can do to fix it or should I set the antennas on the office inside of the receiver box

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Based on what I've read they recommend you set the antennas as far away from each other as possible, preferably going down the chassis. The reason is both of those antennas are used for back and forth telemetry reading, kind of like radar, for sending ad receiving. SO you need a good amount of separation space between them both. Also make sure they are not damaged in any way. Just use some hot glue to secure them to the chassis anywhere.

[@joeyfesta2042]

When your ready to sell it,I have first dibs.

[@ArmrDg]

Does it have failsafe for nitros if they lose signal or battery gets disconnected?

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! I just looked at the remote and it's menu, and YEs it's got a fully programmable failsafe setting for any of the channels. I would have set it if I tested this on a nitro, but good looking out!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey my friend!! Yes, I will be sure to include a part in a video on how to set the failsafe on this thing. I'm planning on installing this into a nitro RC soon. I didn't show it here because I was only using the Electric RC for testing.

@@hybrid32494 Awesome can't wait as I am going to get my first Nitro when I get back from overseas I want to make sure I know how to setup FS correctly because I will be getting this radio Thanks 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@TK_Mo]

Good info! I wish you could have compared it to the Flysky FS-GT5, but others have. I own 2 of the FS-GT5's. I am pleased with them but, I have 4 cars bound to one and 3 bound to the other. I like to play with friends/family etc so multiple transmitters allow that but, multiple cars bound to the same transmitter limit choices. I've been thinking about getting a Dumbo RC for my SWorkz S104 EVO buggy as, I'd like that vehicle on a seperate transmitter. This might be a better option in the long run as I add more cars. Thanks for the Amazon link and discount code. As you know I hate shopping with Banggood. They have F&@#ed me more than once. Did I mention that I HATE Banggood?

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Glad you saw this video, I also have the GT5 radio, and it's a great radio, it came with the Primal MT. I avoided doing a comparison of this one to the GT5 because the main RSSI signal strength and telemetry and long range features really blow away the GT5 based on those alone. Yes, get the 4ch dumbo radio, it s good choice for the price, its the same one that came on my ZD racing Pirates 2 buggy. No issues with it, other than the damn servo trim settings on the remote are tough to understand and you need to be a damn code breaker.

[@Royalyorkies]

Just installed mine on the limitless. Was wondering how best to set my antennas?

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! That's a sick RC, the limitless, very nice. Anyway, the instructions recommend you route both of the antennas along the chassis at a 45 degree angle away from each other (as close to 45 degrees as possible). Basically, you don't want the dual antennas touching and you want them to be as far away from other sensitive radio and ESC gear, to reduce interference. I usually hot glue the antenna leads, it works perfect, and is flexible for any future removals.

[@nitrogas5719]

You gotta open up the revo 18tz motor man it’s been too long lol

Should get the flysky noble 4.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! too complicated for me, I've been using this one and the Flysky GT5. Very happy with the simplicity. I run lots of different RCs, most important thing is simplicity and reliability to me. Also cost of receivers, you know. But ye, the Noble 4 is top notch.

[@YOVlogs]

600 meters is very very long range ideal for maximum speed runs which u always like price is good

[@dailyriddenhorses7665]

You get that flysky with a lipo battery which is much better radio link will trouble after some time

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! I've been using those 8 AA battery Flysky radios for a long time, and my AA battery budget is pretty low, lol. I figured I wanted something to run a basic Lipo that I already own and has good range. The 2 antenna receiver really sold me on this one.

[@dailyriddenhorses7665]

The flysky has a lipo included and charges with a USB port

[@atkracing]

This remote or the new fly sky gt5?

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Recently I've been using the GT5 because im highly familiar with it. Unless you need the extremely long range of this Radiolink remote and the extra telemetry features I would highly consider the GT5.

[@kodak_jack]

If you had the FlySky GT3C, at least the AA's go away because it has a rechargeable lipo built in. THIS transmitter is for the range - double the GT3C.

[@BASSstarlet]

The dual antennas it would be a hard part to install without damage them :/

[@jkpisces]

hows this compared to the flysky gt5?

[@hybrid32494]

hey man!! good question!! I run both this remote and the GT5.. They are both terrific. This one has some extra functionality in terms of the Tellemetry but they ar both 100% top notch reliable radios. If you watch my newer videos you will see I always use the GT5 because it was already paired to and RC I purchased previously.

[@jkpisces]

@@hybrid32494 thank you so much for your feedback. Cause I'm quite on the fence on which one to purchase as I would like to choose one and just buy all the receivers to one radio. If you could only pick one, which one would that be since you have used both

[@hybrid32494]

@@jkpisces I'm always glad to help out a fellow RC guy, no worries my dude!! Choose the GT5. The telemetry features are really just for show, you're never going to use them. The GT5 has an incredible hand feel and easy to set failsafe settings for nitro/gas and extremely easy to bind.

@@hybrid32494 thanks ! Subscribing to your channel☺️. What about the gyro sensitivity and adjustment of these two radios?

[@hybrid32494]

@@jkpisces thanks man! Really appreciate that! The Gyro on both work exactly the same as any traxxas TSM system, you can turn them on and off easily. The GT5 wins in this case though, it's on/off setting is directly in the remote menu, while the Radiolink you need to press a button on the Receiver to active it. I don't really use the gyro function because I mostly run nitros these days, but I can confirm it works well and you'll see a whole bunch of setting for it in the remote menu.

Before I forget to comment I love how you said I don’t care if I have to put it in my Prius to hit 50 that’s funny I have telemetry on my cars for volts and temp I don’t really use it for volts only for temps but there’s one car that has an old ESC that doesn’t have LIPO cut off so I do use the voltage telemetry to stop running it when it gets to 7 V Literally driving yeah we can see that lol

[@hybrid32494]

hahaha, Just making sure you saw that!! JK. Don't want to risk you not seeing that, haha. Anyway, Ye, the whole alarm thing is a novel idea but pretty much not necessary, I really liked the RSSI signal strength indicator, that's what they really mean by telemetry, the whole voltage thing is just an added bonus, you know. Apparently this remote is used for FPV applications too, because the Receiver has some type on onboard FPV system going on, I didn't get into it because I don't have any FPV stuff. But for that you clearly need a very long range radio with long antennas, just like this.
