Flysky gt3b range

[Richy_p2009]

How far does the range go Im new to rc and not sure how far it reached before it loses signal, cheers

[Noj]

Many metres....

Length of a football pitch and beyond, though rc karma dictates at that distance you will roll over/become beached, with no one else around to help. Cue the long, walk of shame to right your upturned vehicle.

hahaha..so true

[Saabmania2]

I've got the GT3C which uses the same receivers and I've yet to have mine out of range and sometimes I can barely see the car

[flatout!]

Now iv got this hv servo in it, a footy pitch length and then cuts out, my kill switch comes in and cuts the engine out,

if your going to push it till it go's out of range make sure you have a kill switch on it or it'll stick on full throttle and you'll find out how far it'll go on a full tank, you'll be getting in your car to fetch it, kill switch before you go to far kidda

[Richy_p2009]

Haha thanks for replys it's a on road nitro so length of football pitch will be far enough lol

Iv also ordered a kill switch for safety anyway

[Noj]

On road...even better, no chance of contact with any of the following, often hidden in the grass:

Branches

Bigger branches

Cans

Bottles

Dog eggs

All of which can quickly turn a smile upside down

[Richy_p2009]

Haha no but I've got to watch kerbs which I've shattered 2 wheels hitting already

[Noj]

Rather that than dog egg....faster you hit it, the further it gets sprayed and you HAVE to pick it up at some point, then put it in the boot of the car....lol

Kerbs FTW!!

"It`s an on road nitro" What kill switch have you ordered as I don`t know of a kill switch that works with nitro ??

Flysky RX has a built in failsafe....works perfectly

[Richy_p2009]

I meant fail safe sorry iv only just got flysky so not to familiar with it yet

As Noj says Fly Sky got a brilliant built in failsafe

[Richy_p2009]

I'll have to read up on flysky and fail safe was only 8 off ebay so not much loss if it's already built in

Thats a little bit too keen on the statement.

 

they work, but all of my rx's at some point or other reset the failsafe.  Worry not, flick tx off for a quick test and simples.

I run about 10 cars on flysky and I have never had that happen

[Noj]

Seven on mine currently and never had that issue either...

[Deafty]

8 on mine and they all have at 1 point.      

 

Never been of any concern though.

Easy to check and reset. Not the best response times, but for the money, no complaints from me

[Deafty]

yeah no complaints here.

 

don't know if I would have gotten back into this hobby if it weren't for HW and FS

[Richy_p2009]

Can you change the way the control wheel steers and its the opposite to the control I replaced it with, if you know what I mean

[Noj]

Yes, in the menu, there's the option to reverse direction on each channel

[Richy_p2009]

That's great cheers. What's the cd got on as iv not got anything to load it on atm

[Noj]
