Going to be building a VP phoenix and I need some help with my transmitter. I'm currently using a Futaba 4 channel but the phoenix is going to take at least 5 channels. Steering, throttle, dig, OD, adjustable drag brake on my mamba X and whatever else I can think of.
I can't find any definitive info that the Futaba 7PX has 7 "real" channels. Let alone a compatible receiver with at least 7 channels.
I really don't want to use an aircraft radio just to get enough channels and I hate the idea of using something generic (not a fan of the spectrum stuff)
Is there any options out there with the same quality of Futaba?
Just wrote this in daves thread.
I'll copy and paste it here.
Have a GT5 with my AXE Great Radio. Works fine.
But I ran across the Radiolinks. RC6GS model. These are a very capable radio. I call it the best 400.00 radio in an 80.00 box I ever bought.
I ran JRs back in the FM days, and with 2.4s I started on JR, but also had a few Futabas, but landed on the Nomadio Reacts. (still have 2). They were 399 when new while their flagship radio the Sensor were 550.00-600. This Radiolink does everything my Nomadio did, with 2 more channels on it.
the one limiting factor is only 10 model memory slots on it.
Otherwise
6 channels with full mixing capability on all channels.
Telemetry so you get signal strength as well as Battery level on the RC as well as the Tx ofcourse (can also read just the Rx battery if you're on a gasser/nitro).
S.bus capable.
1800 ft control as verified by many users.
2s-4s Capable Transmitter battery. I run a 3s 2250 tx pack in mine.
2 handle thumb buttons.
2 3 way switches
all accessory switches can be changed to operate as needed so they can be 2 way/3way or momentary contacts etc.....
They have Gyro that can be turned off completely, not just turned down.
additional rxs are from 13-22.00 12 for an RC6 6chnl no telemetry/no gyro rx to 22 for the rc7g receivers which have gyro and telemetry capabilities.
Overall, its a great radio.
biggest downside beyond the 10 model memory limit is the old spectrum type transmitter case.
Bit Bulky, can't onehand without a thumbpaddle on the steering wheel.
Very good pentometers are used in it. Control to inputs is right on the money. very sensitive to a light finger for feel if that is your driving style but no lag (even at 1800 ft) fat finger wheel spinning response as well.
No I get nothing from them. Not a sales guy or even a fan boy beyond I bought one, and for 80.00 I'm happy to spend 15 minutes typing this out for others to read. Wish I did get a sellers cut lol I could use the extra green. lmao
