been using this radio for a little while now. I bought it used for around $65 on eBay. I was told they came down in price and get them for 70 new. currently have three receivers. Others coming from overseas. I'm using this radio on a 4ws Ford truggy, wraith with the dig and the scx10 with the two speed transmission. haven't had one problem. Receivers seem to be cheap if you get them from overseas. Don't really see the point Gyro function in a crawler. Just trying to save money on receivers. So far this radio's been perfect. When the other receivers get here ongoing to be using it on both my TRX4. For the price seems like a lot of radio. I would say worth every penny. Easy to navigate and set up.

the receivers seem to be out of stock everywhere

Not sure if you're trying to avoid certain vendors, but there are some on ebay?

 

[magic_yeti]

Or look at Hobbyking they have the same Radio branded as turnigy and matching waterproof receivers for it.

I did find some on eBay. Any waterproof ones without Gyro there may be a bit cheaper? I didn't see any. I got a few on eBay for 11 and free shipping

can somebody confirm that I can control a DIG switch with this radio for my Bully2 with single esc and electronic DIG switch, and if it's possible how to program this function

THx for helping out, I am new in crawling ;-)

Thinking about trying this radio on my TRX4

Did you ever try it? Looking at a radio upgrade for my TRX-4 - this was one of the budget radios that came up on my list.

Are all 6 channels available to be programmed? Like can the 6th be used as a winch controller? Looking St the manual, the power on/off switch takes up a channel, so I don't even know if all 6 channels are available.

Also, how does the quality of the controller and trigger compare with the Traxxas TQI?

Not really. Ch3 is two channel, if you use it for rear steer it doesnt do anything, that function is handled by the display controls.


I am using ch 5 and 6(the dials) as winch controllers using an ESC as the winch control, frankly it acts wonky. If you dial from forward to reverse without stopping at center for a moment, then it continues forward.


I like the controller for what it is, but for my other radios needing 6 channels I definitely prefer my hacked gt3c(I have 5 of them)

 

[woodsroamer]

I'm new to crawling, and thinking getting this for 4ws and the dig. Is there a better option beside this around $100 or less specially with a waterproof receiver?

 

[BIGW0RM]

Im about to install my FS-GT5 into my trx4 bronco. If anyone has done this and has some pointers, Id appreciate any advice given. I assume I will run into many issues setting up the lockers properly.


Thanks,

You know what i like about this radio, if you're not using it(for a second or so), it beeps, it beeps and vibrates when the battery gets low. Cool features well for me that's cool. Thumbs up so far.

 

[BashNSlash]

vibrates when the battery gets low.

Wow, I didn't know that. Does this work only when using a lipo or will it work when AA batteries (what I have now) are being used? I never let my betteries get so low to be considered too low, but this is a great feature.

That said, I'm now running this controller on two trucks and have several other extra receivers ready to be put into other trucks [emoji16]

Does anyone know if you can program two (or more) different controllers to a single truck? Since you have to specifically select the truck you want to control through the radio, I assume you simply have the truck you'd like to control selected on the radio you intend to use, right?

I wouldn't know about how it works with AAs, i do use a lipo.

Is there a confirmed list of receivers that work with this radio? Want to pick one up to setup with my yeti.

I'd like to know as well. I've only been using the FS-BS6, which offers all the features that support this radio (6 channel, stability management, etc.).

But if there are other, cheap receivers that can be used with this radio then I'd likely be interested in adding a few to some indoor crawlers I've got.
