Thank you Rolf.
I go to the link and download it`s successfully.
And when I try to up date the computer can`t see my Tx.
But when I open the control panel to see joystick function the fs it4 work fine.
I can use its as joy stick.

It`s make me wonder why.
Thank you again

So what is the verdict is it better than a hacked gt3b as far as the following:
A. Lifespan (the radio itself)
B. Features
C. Quality of the product

A hacked GT3C is the best of the 3. I run a hacked GT3B.... soon to add a hacked GT3C (have the radio, need to hack it).

Little better ergonomics, no need for the VR hack, better looking.

The iT4 can't be hacked at this time.... likely never. Thus, not really worth the effort.

Your money, your choice.

As far as I know the only reason we haven't hacked it is because there is no reason too. If you want to get to the only thing I could think of that I would buy for sure is a bigger rx.

Can you 4ws mix with a y connector or do they have be separate (servos)

If the Y is off the steering channel & then "Y's" out to 2 servos then yes, they need to be seperate. There would be no way for the RX to send a signal to one servo or the other, they would both get the same thing.

From what I have read the only reason its not hacked is because FlySky went out of their way to make hard if not impossible to reverse engineer new firmware for it.

I agree with you there. I have both GT3b and GT3c hacked and for the sake of argument they are both the same function wise. The GT3c is a more solid built and better looking unit. Its more compact and hey I like the green LOL. Doesn't need the vr hack or the lipo mod but I did throw a small toggle for power right off the get go.

The GT3C Programming Port & Adapter from overkillrc makes the job of hacking the gt3c sooo easy and clean looking, well worth the 5 bucks.





The it4 is cool with all the telemetry but from what I understand dual esc is a hard nut on it and hey I find it awfully difficult to watch my radio and drive at the same time. So unless there is built in alarms for temp, voltage and rpm sensors I really don't see the need for all the gizmos. Just adds wires, bulk and weight.

Besides you can buy 3 GT3c for the price of 1 it4 and with that I won't feel bad when my rig is going to take a huge fall and I decide rig over radio as to whats going to be in my hands LOL.

PS I love the sub 10 buck receivers as well.

What about through a bec?

4WS requires 2 servos & 2 radio channels, period. whether you can mix the steering or not depends on the radio, some have limited capabilities.
If you run a BEC direct to a servo, the servo still needs it's own channel to steer.

If you want steering to do the same exact thing (front & rear), then yes, you could just use a Y cable and share a single channel between 2 or more servos. There would be no mixing and they would both move at the same time.

Hi losikid...I was thinking of getting this iT4. I had a question on the latency if it was 5ms. It is not in the specs...or any latency speed for that matter.
Someone in RCTech replied 5ms as opposed to 20ms but do not know how accurate that is.
I ask because I want to use this for drifting and would need the fast response time. Do you know of how true that is as far as specs go?

I was thinking of ordering the 9ms frsky receiver from you to try out with my hacked GT3B first and see how that goes.

Any thoughts on this?
I would like to order from you since you have been a tremendous asset to this community.

I highly doubt it's 5ms.....

[richard2744]

I'm not sure about the response times as my iT4 did nothing but glitch straight out of the box. Tried everything but have had to send it back still waiting too see what happens next.
I did how ever get it set up for duel esc mixing at an adjustable rate and dig so keen to get it back and try it all out properly

[richard2744]

Well got another new radio sent out to replace the unit with glitching issues and it does the same thing only now it also does it mid throttle. Not happy. Took it back and swapped it for a MT4, much better everything just works and is so easy setup and use.

Ok, so I have one of these, and I see there is not an easy way to run a winch. Is there a work around? And I am having a problem with the update. If some one could PM me with some help, I would be thankful.

[timgreen82]

I have this system it is very cost effective and very technical. I like the fact I can visually see the changes that i am making. The steering and break mixes are very good. It is a little tweeky. You will be using it and it seems to lose signal but you never lose control of anything. I picked up mine for the cost of $120.00 and got a lot of the extras. Adding extra RX is only $11.00 where some are 30 to 40 if you are thinking about getting it I hope I was able to help.

[noir522]

So this radio can't be hacked due to constraints placed on the original programming?

That's a shame , if it could be hacked up to 6 channels they would have my money already.
Poor economics on their part. Of all the cheap 3 channels 2.4 GHz radios on the market why do they think the gt3b sold so well?
