ok thanks. I have many rechargeable AA Panasonic Evolta (2200-2550 mAh) but I don´t want to use them because of lower voltage. Rechargeable AA have only 1,2 V, real around 1,33 V I think, so for me they don´t last too long and they are heavy.. Standard AA have 1,5 V real around 1,45 I think, not sure. Low voltage alarm in GT5 is set to 4,4 V I think, so I´m afraid to use AA rech for longer expedition. But maybe my rech AA are older so They don´t last enought. In Xbox controller They last almost 2 weeks but in GT5 maybe 2 hours?

Longest I've been crawling is probably about 3 hours and the eneloops lasted the entire time

Ive been using these in my GT3. I just got the GT5 and plan on using them again. Seems to work well.

One of the little people plastic tabs on my wheel broke Does anyone know if you can buy a replacement wheel or if there's anything that fits?

 

[sgtwuebbles]

I've got one of these radios and have tried 2 receivers. Plug my gt3c in and no problem. Curious can the receiver not handle 3s. only thing I can think of. It was the reciever that came with radio.

Has anyone had any luck with any other recievers yet?

Even though I just bought like five BS6 receivers, I'd still like to know if anything else works. So far, I haven't found any indication that other receivers have been proven successful.

I’ve been using these, as well as the usual flysky bs6

I believe that just a re-branded BS6, right? Do you know of any three-channel receivers that work? I've been looking for something smaller than the BS6 to fit some micro crawlers.

You’ll want the FS-A3.

Compatible receivers below, from the manual.

Haven't heard of anyone actually having success with these other ones (going off this thread and FB). A3 is only $10 cheaper than the BS6 where I live but really, I just want something smaller in size

Not sure in anyone is looking for the bs6 receivers, but I needed a few and the only options I could find were either direct from China or way over priced. But I did find a seller on Walmart.com that had them $18. I bought 2, no tax, free shipping, and it says I will have them in 5 days.

Got a link? I cant find them.

Hi all new to the forum, I joined because of this thread. I ordered a GT5 a week or so ago and was trying to find out whether FS-IA6B receiver would work with it. I ended up even more confused as there seems to be mixed opinions with very little evidence backing it up, so I decided to just bite the bullet and give it a try. I can confirm it DOES work with both the FS-IA6B and the TGY-IA6B, at least it did for me. Here's a video showing the bind procedure, and a follow up video showing the receiver in action.

I can confirm, the gt5 does work with the ia6b. I run them in all my trucks. Theyre a lil big for a rx box, but theyre cheaper than the bs6 that comes with the radio

Hoping that someone can now confirm if the FS-A3 works on the GT5? :ror:

I've had the FS-A3 sitting around for awhile now. I know I tried it before on the gr5 but I figured I'd give it another shot. What I found is when binding the remote doesn't confirm it's bound, but when you switch the remote off and pull the bind plug everything seems to work....just saved me $25 as I was about to buy another receiver.
