Richy_p2009 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 How far does the range go Im new to rc and not sure how far it reached before it loses signal, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabmania2 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy_p2009 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy_p2009 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Haha no but I've got to watch kerbs which I've shattered 2 wheels hitting already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 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!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richy_p2009 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 As Noj says Fly Sky got a brilliant built in failsafe 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
