Looking forward...and, I mean, I'm REALLY looking forward...you your (hopefully to be released soon) range test in a large open area without interference. Since you mentioned a signal booster, I think a LOT of people would be interested in a range test (again, in an area without signal interference) with a 2W and/or 4W signal booster installed on the Radiolink.

[@Raven_of_Doom]

thanks for all the work this video took!

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool test,great information and awesome remote,i have three different radiolink remotes and like them all

[@Mattes1607]

A great video! Finally real values and facts that you don't get in other videos. Well done. Keep it up!

[@EastTactics]

I appreciate that! More on this transmitter to come (warm season can’t get here any sooner. We had4inches of snow today for crying out loud. In march! Lol

[@danieltrilopez]

For me Radiolink is the best of the market when you are looking for range in RC Cars. Pretty Good Vídeo! Thank you

[@diggy2107]

Thanks for these as I am trying to figure out which one to get right now,I just got a arrma infraction and I am not feeling comfortable getting very far away and I am trying to figure out what to do!

[@EastTactics]

Glad I could help, the RC6GS is amazing in that regard

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

fyi google maps right click a window pops up the last menu is measure distance you can click and draw a line

[@Reecefpv]

You really need one of those drones that can follow the dongle and just strap it to the drone. Like the skydio and maybe even yours. That would be awesome. It can literally dodge trees and everything and keep line of sight on its own.

[@EastTactics]

I did a ton of research on the capabilities of a dongle like connection to a drone. Such as the skydio, Which I believe is the only drone on the market that has that tech. Even it, is not reliable for following accurately something is quick and nimble, and small, as an RC car. Quite frankly with the technology just isn’t there yet I was close to buying a Skydio. But after researching. I determined it would be more frustrating than useful.

[@Moggmodels23]

😮😮😅😊 great video good information 👍

[@EastTactics]

Thanks!!

[@NepDouble07]

When it was out of range and went haywire I totally lost it 😂😂

[@EastTactics]

Ya… I’m glad it didn’t do damage to a neighborhood home… or worse a neighbor!!

[@Reecefpv]

I can't believe they don't have a stock failsafe that goes into drag brake when you lose signal. That was close and lucky when it decided to take off away from that car. I've been freaked out about my nitro lately and not driving it cause it took off full throttle and just happened to not go towards a field of parents and kids plays soccer. Scared me for sure lol

[@EastTactics]

Yeah definitely one of the must have features that I appreciate in the radio link.

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

How to piss off multiple neighbors and drivers in two easy steps😂 Great video tho

[@EastTactics]

Yeah… Luckily, I was two blocks away and they never knew where are yell at! 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrGraeme54]

Thanks for the video. Have you tried FPV? it's great fun and adds another dimension to RC cars.

[@cacanjacowans540]

I was thinking that exact same thing on your previous video... *find a wide open space* RC EXPLAINED went well over 500M in his video

[@EastTactics]

He had an interesting test however I think leaving the vehicle stationary with the top off and the Antanas exposed, and only moving the steering…Requires A lot less pressure for performance on the connection. I’ll get out to an open space soon. And use my drone again to take the vehicle as far as possible away. If it doesn’t perform up to 600 m. It will either be because my antennas are not sticking up through the body combined with possible interference from my drone. But we’ll see it’ll be interesting.

[@danielcase2189]

Also what batteries are you using in the radio link radio. I have the rc4gs v2 same radio but 4 channel. I was told if I use a lipo with a little more power than the dbl a's it helps with range a bit. I've not tried it but just what I was told

[@EastTactics]

I agree, more power likely equates to longer range connectivity. I haven’t officially tested this yet but plan to kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPWimhmbsmZpNk I’m not sure if the v2 is capable of 4s. So double check that

[@cacanjacowans540]

Any 3S/4S shorty lipo works fine. I grabbed two Zee 1500mah *XT60* off Amazon for like $25

[@danielthornton1633]

If you would have mounted the long antennas with the RC6GS as high as you can, you’d get further. I used heat shrink tubing to make the antennas stiffer and ran them straight through the top of the cars body and bent them outward at a 90 degree spread (as recommended in the instructions) My maximum range in a hilly subdivision is 614 meters.

[@danielthornton1633]

My RC car has gps module, and I mounted a DJI camera and VTX to it, and it transmits video to my DJI Goggles. Lots of fun shredding the neighborhood lol

[@EastTactics]

Love it! I do definitely agree with you that if I were to run those antennas out the body getting them up in the air a bit more, I would definitely dramatically increase range. I chose to instead keep them Tucktaway under the body to protect them. As I’m worried with all of the gnarly Wrecks and rolls I would rip one out of the receiver or something bad. I may take your advice though, and change things up. If I decide I need even more range doing what I’m doing. Thanks for the heads up.

[@danielthornton1633]

@@EastTactics hell yeah man, I understand what you mean. My 1/8 Traxxas sledge is my basher that I tear it up with, especially at the gravel yard. But the car I use for FPV neighborhood roaming is a cheaper HyperGo 1/16 BM. Little thing moves at a good clip with a 3s battery, but that’s mainly for quick getaways when I’m trolling someone on the streets. 😂I’m overly careful when I’m rolling around the neighborhood, definitely don’t need a roll over a quarter mile from home! I learned that after chasing the neighbors cat lol My daughter named it the Neighborhood Watch Ground Rover lol

[@brandongirardi4027]

Your neighbors must love you 😂 kinda sold on this radio though. Tired of all these RTR radios kicking around.

[@EastTactics]

Yes they do 😜

[@luiml73]

I just ordered this radio. does it have the failsafe feature like the G7P?

[@EastTactics]

Meaning if it goes out of range, will it automatically stop. Yes! One of my favorite things about it

[@luiml73]

@@EastTactics Yes that thanks,. does it do it automatically? Or is there a setting? thanks for the reply. subscribed

[@EastTactics]

@luiml73 Automatically, but I think there might also be settings that might tweek it. I left em alone.

[@wylinout2257]

Nice! How's the gyro?? Does it actually work?

[@EastTactics]

It does work quite well. You can’t have it up to 100% though at least with my big tires on. For whatever reason it gets jittery. But that’s OK just push the dial down to like 25% and it’s good. I’ll be doing a video specifically on using it in the field. Stay tuned.

[@wylinout2257]

@@EastTactics Very cool thx for the info 👍 I'll always look forward to the uploads thx!

[@robbryan3044]

@@EastTactics Built-in gyro could be a huge 'plus' for speedrun cars.

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

In all seriousness though, imagine this house kraton smashed into, being your 3yo kid... extremely stupid way of testing range on a runaway RC car. Why it didnt have runaway safety ON? My way of testing range: 2 people, 2 phones on a call with loudspeaker on(bluetooth headset preferably), you ask noobie to sway steering gently from left to right and to give the car slow acceleration to half throttle and back to zero and to do one after the other. YOU take the RC in your hands and walk away with it. You being experienced will notice glitching better, and once noticed, you can report, ask for repeat, ask for full throttle, ask to stop the test on a call. Full safety and more consistency.

[@EastTactics]

No, you’re right. I could’ve done a lot of things better/safer. Unfortunately there is no runaway safety functionality built into the stock set up. Which is actually one of my favorite features of this new transmitter/receiver. It has that automatically built-in. Did I know that the stock receiver/transmitter did not have runway safety? Honestly, I wasn’t sure, sort of didn’t think it did. So I kind of figured at some point my car was going to go a little bit AWOL. Which is why I admit I wasn’t exactly being as safe as I should’ve been and I’ll take the blame for that, fortunately, I know all the neighbors down that street really really well. And I knew none of them would have any major problems with my RC. but yeah, i hear ya.

[@paulrakis]

ET great video. Alos those RC lipos batteries 6S are all defective from what iv been seeing. They get puffy after 2 or 3 runs. Not good packs do not recommend them to anyone anymore please.

[@EastTactics]

Damn… that’s a bummer. One of mine got puffy, but it’s still fine. I’m watching it close. Yeah I might have to pull them off the sponsor docket

[@paulrakis]

@@EastTactics yeah brother pull then off for sure. Never seen that happen so fast just from some speed runs. Also bad customer service never got a response back. They are probably closing up shop very soon.

[@EastTactics]

@@paulrakis thanks for letting me know my friend. The best way for me to get in the know about this type of thing is for people to report it to me. So I really do appreciate you letting me know. You’re the second person that let me know this. So yeah I’m gonna need to find me a new Lipo battery sponsor.

[@paulrakis]

@@EastTactics wow yeah of course man Especially if it's batteries that you recommend. Also bars and tone same issues they got puffy after one or 2 runs. You can still use them but there definitely something wrong with them as in not normal for any lipos to do that. Good ET yeah I love using Hoovo pack and Zee. Both have been great over the past 2 years of use. Hoovo actually might be better since the cells stay very healthy over my Zee packs. 👍👊

[@ahmadfaris8044]

Failsafe is important, get a third party cheap failsafe maybe? Or just tie a rope to it?

[@EastTactics]

Lol
