I just bought this for my son to use. He loves it.

[@ExocagedRC]

awesome

[@Toodles77]

Loved this I just started using one of these and this helped out tremendously. I’d like to see more on the RC8X

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Nice little guide! If you think this radio is good for crawling, wait until you see it in a no prep car 👍 Definitely going to be my next radio, can't wait. Curious to know if you are able to turn off all the beeping when adjusting parameters or turn off the voice?

[@hvcool]

Curious i have seen small solar power LED lights are there some for RC's that we can control turn off an on?

[@bbeckers24]

Great display. Most reviews don't show as much in action. They just talk about the features. Do you have any crawlers left on the gt5 that you could do a similar video on?

[@ExocagedRC]

I do, but the gt5 is so simple, think thats a needed video?

I want to figure out how to use one of the switches by the wheel as a 3 position for dig, and another button as a momentary for dig.

Also everyone with an RC8X, do not update it! There was a bad update that caused signal loss and signal cutout that stuck throttle and steering both in whatever position they was at when the signal cut out. It's been an ongoing issue in the radiolink facebook group for a couple months now

[@jesseharless24]

They have been removing members for months for trying to tell people about the antenna chip designed to fail that is causing the issue

[@TheAmericanUhate]

@jesseharless24 I've seen a few people replace the internal antenna in them, and it seems to have helped with those. I haven't done it myself, but I only use the RC8X for my crawlers, nothing that goes fast, so I'm not too worried about it

[@jesseharless24]

@TheAmericanUhate I was one of the ones that did and it didn't work it only worked for one person allegedly. I owned 2 both was junk. Look into the mt12 by radiomaster far better radio for less

[@TheAmericanUhate]

@jesseharless24 Eh, not a fan of the mt12. Too much crap trying to program it. If I was going to switch, I'd go to the flysky noble nb4 pro plus. I've already got a ton of radiolink recievers and they're the cheapest to buy, so I'll stick with the RC8X for my crawlers. If it does die, I can use an old rc6gs. It's old and ugly, but the rc6gs works, is very simple, I love the 2 old school toggle switches, and it just feels nostalgic to me lol.

Wow, do you really need a huge expensive thing with a screen for a crawler ? My SCX24s run with a 20-30 $ 4 channel and i miss nothing.

[@Toodles77]

I love this transmitter! And 90% of my rigs are crawlers. Fantastic for 4WS. It’s great it not abbreviations and numbers one has to figure out what they mean. Makes programming much easier. Gave RC4GS away to my buddy for Xmas once I looked at screen. The control is sooooo much better too. I mean it does everything and holds 200 models with names. Only transmitter you need

[@jesseharless24]

Radiolink rc8x is a garbage failure of a remote from a failure of a Chinese company. Do not buy this junk
