Bonez Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 dont scrimp guys on Radio come on, you only buy uk for warranty thats it. I have had my 4PL for over a yearfrom HK not one problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmarr Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Same products, same warranty, i will buy from whoever is cheaper. Shops have to compete with online prices. As I'm in Ireland we don't have any decent rc shops around. so online is my only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 why not just only buy from uk for warranty? I think whats more important over anything is the uk ecconamy! buy from england, keep England on its feet. buy from HK all the time and you will have no model shops left in the uk hell I don't even live in the uk now and I still buy all my stuff from there! loyal to GB shops! I think more people should as well. sorry for going off topic. carry on lol wake up and smell the coffee! Its all imported from asia i was being kind Uk its going down in or out of the EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 no my friend you wake up. yes it's all imported but the money added onto it keeps who ever is selling it in the uk in business and giving that person a living who in turns spends that money on other stuff in the uk thus keeping the uk alive. if we all buy from over seas there will be no uk left you may save a few quid but think of the future and the bigger picture. if everyone did this for everything then the uk would be a better place and not so much in recession.

maiden939 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Whats with all the spekky haters, I've had them for going on ten years on everything from 1/18 to 1/5 electric, nitro and petrol never had a range or glitch issue. The only downside is there not backlit and I have snapped a few antennas even then no range or glitch issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmarr Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 My motto is buy from whoever is cheaper no matter where it's from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopeydog Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Flysky has good range and features but absolutely horrendous lag and feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmarr Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Never had issues with my flysky. I reckon people will stay away from them as there seen as a cheap radio. I find it better the spektrumdx3c i had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 flysky is on par with spektrum's DSM stuff yes... But not as good as the DSM2... For bashing, Flysky will do the job... its cheap and nasty feeling and very very slow to respond but it has really decent range and the receivers are dirt cheap. Both the Spektrum and Flysky will glitch a lot more than the sanwa, high end futaba ect... hence the reaseon you dont see a of 5th scale users using either... when your kit was 10kg+ you need to trust your radio...

stephenmarr Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 As said before my flysky is paired up with my FG BAJA it it's not slow in the slightest there's no glitching and the 3rd channel works fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is on pair with regards to response time. Going purely from a Flysky to DSM and no other changes, my lap times when racing improved by a second per lap. Though the Flysky I suspect will have better range than DSM. But with the Flysky you never feel connected to the car due to the latency and even for bashing it doesn't feel nice.

Tug Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 DX3S for me, had it for about 5 yrs, never had a problem. Range in excess of one hundred yards, which is fine for me. Could use backlit display, but otherwise it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmarr Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Suppose fan boys will always be fan boys!!!! Gone from hitec, hobao, traxxas and now flysky 2.4ghz radios. Not much difference between them all for bashing. Flysky has the best range by far may not look the best, but who looks at the radio when your driving.

noisyparker Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi all, have to say I am very old skool and still love stick(no pun intended) and back in the day when i didnt have to pay rent i was a futaba man through and through so was gutted when i searched ebay for a field force 3 with not a single one listed, eventually i gave up and bought a hitec eclipse pro car, and apart from my bad choice of cheap crystals it has been an amazing set with the failsafe working perfectly when switching the transmitter off to test and it never losing range so can you all tell me why wheel transmitters are the only option nowadays? also have i gone wrong with switching to hitec after having a number of futaba and ko sets(have always wanted to try sanwa but never had the chance) Cheers all and am looking forward to your comments!

Tug Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm not a fanboy of anything, I just haven't had any issues with speccy, so why change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Tho Joe knows I use flysky in my fifth scale bl vehicles w/o any issues at all, having had a horrid runaway incident with a spektrum system.....the range is farther than I would wish to drive them, and I don't feel they suffer from any lag whatsoever.
