This has been covered many times but here ya go..... And I will pm you also ...... Just this once.

Global Setup To access the global setup menu, from the Home screen press ENTER-LONG. Menu items MODEL and NAME will blink. The option is selected when the number display is flashing by rotating SELECT. To change the value, press ENTER and rotate SELECT to select the value for that option. Press ENTER to return to the option selection

The option you are looking for is F. That's your version of firmware.

You can find manual by google "gt3b manual" and should be second option down which will be a PDF to download by psx.

Haha funny how things work! I asked to be notified for a GT3C complete build on your website. My RX crapped out so I'm patiently waiting.

Happy New Year!

I plan discontiouning GT3B's and swapping to pre hacked gt3c's only early in the year...so you'll be in luck soon.

I can't decided If i want todo a order of 10, 50, or 100 GT3C's from china.

[JokersWild]

Well of ya base it off of me getting asked to hack them when you are out of stock, I've had about 20 so offers in last month and a half.........

[losikid]

20 it is then

I'll probably have them ready to rock n roll February time.

I'm also working on other mods. I keep tweaking and modding the handle trim switches. I'm really close (Just ordered the 6th revision). Then I'll get a hi profile ch3 button made up. I've also started working on a new steering wheel assembly that has the ch1 and ch2 trim switches built into it (the installer will have to jumper wires off the switches already on the board.)

I'll be honest, the past couple years, I quit trying...but I'm ready to get all my old projects back up on the stove and cookin. I'm aiming to keep everything in stock (including GT3C's, no lead time but I'll only offer one version...no more options. If someone want's it cheaper, I'll still offer everything for them todo it themselves.)

My goal is a x5 sales increase from this past year. Which shouldn't be too hard since most my stuff was out of stock last year

Just got done answering atleast 50 emails...alot of repeat people...most everyone got a canned copy and paste answer, because well they were basically all the same question. I'll go ahead and post the canned messages below. If I didn't answer your email, send it again as it's probably lost in a plethora of holiday emails

I no longer plan to offer the GT3B pre modded for the 2015 year. At the time of this message. there is a single GREEN GT3C instock, modded. I plan to bring more in the next month or so. Probably silver to start with.

The GT3C is a better radio IMO and easier for me to stock.

I shut down over the christmas/new years period. Mod kits can now be ordered on my site again. I sold out before the break so there will be a 2-4 week wait on kits as I need to order parts, get kits assembled, and work on shipping out what i'm sure will be a hefty back log.

Do I need a GT3C hacked or stock radio for a scale crawler. I want to control a winch and lights. I am ok changing the setting on a Tekin RS is that the same as changing the setting on a hacked radio or is hacked more radio then I need. Thanks

[Meatwad]

Depends on how you wanna do it. You will want a 3pos momentary for winching though, which requires a hacked model... from experience the logistics are just easier.

Heyok makes winch controllers for 2pos if you choose the non hacked version also.

If you want to control steering, throttle, winch, and lights. Then you need 4 channels, So yea, the GT3C needs to be hacked...

[JokersWild]

I always say hacked....... Anything else is uncivilized

[losikid]

I get lots of questions asking about rx compatibility, and with the new "i" radios, it's more confusing.

Flysky has released a compatibility chart, it appears to be correct

Odd, I tried to use a GR3F in my Yeti XL and I could simply not get it to bind to my GT3C. I tried for about 10 mins in every way I could before I just said screw it. I have 5 models on the TX and they're all the GR3E model RX I believe.

Is there any issue running 7.4v on the GR3E RX though?

[Cowboy6080]

I really want one of these radios! When will they be available again?

I am now. I just have the GR3F sitting on the side since I have nothing else to use it with.

Was your binding plug in the correct port. It looks like they moved it from channel 3 on the "E" version to VCC on the "F" ..... just a thought.

Edit: Found this....
