fatboyneil Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Right straight to the point yes they have fixed the expo on the new handsets I couldn't tell on analogue servos but on the digital I could feel it never mind see it so with all the other fixes and the included lipo and the size and weight difference it's going to give some of the big boys something to worry about if you have a gt3b sell it now and get this you won't regret it Fatboy Edited May 3, 2012 by fatboyneil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyneil Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Just send them a message asking can they mark the price down for customs and there's enough pictures on eBay the only gripe I have is the foam on the wheel keeps moving but it's still better than the plastic one on th 3b Fatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaZilla Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Perhaps something Sticky between the Wheel and the foam would help.... First mod for the GT3C X-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaZilla Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sounds good :-) Take it you mean this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flysky-FS-B800-3-7v-800mAh-Lipo-Battery-For-FS-GT3C-FS-GT2B-GT2B-RC-Controller-/170839203128?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c6cf5d38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yep that's the ones well worth it Fatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The LiPo battery pack thing that charges in the radio via a USB cable really is a massive improvement over the Old Flysky GT3B, and Most Other radios that use 8xAA. Almost no power is wasted on regulating the voltage, because its almost low enough already from the battery. And no messing around with AA's and chargers. And AA's that Self discharge most of their capacity in a week unless they are low discharge types like Sanyo Eneloop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 And buy a car 12v to usb convertor and you can charge from the cigarette lighter Around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Right first problem the power button just been fitting a new servo and realised whenever I touched the wheel it would bleep as though it's just switched on and a very slight loss of power Fatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Is the battery completely full? Check what voltage its pumping out with a voltmeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 It's saying 4v it's something wrong might just be me Fatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Even though the battery is 3.7v, its supposed to be higher when its full so 4v is fine... it doesnt happen with the throttle as well does it? just the steering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yep just stearing and used it just now it totally shut down I pressed the power button nothing then when I turned the wheel it came back to life might only be a problem with mine I'll try and find warranty info when I get home Fatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Could be that the wires are dodgy, as button turns with the wheel. and the wires must flex as you steer left and right. Not sure if on the wheel was a good place to put a power button really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
