When it's up and running, it's really slick! The fourth channel on the wireless remote is free, so I've got an emergency strobe light on the way for that Sent from my SM-N950W using Tapatalk | |

Can someone explain how the crawl steering works? I saw in the review you pick which type of steering mix you want (rear steer, crab, follow)? So you only get one style of steering instead of cycling through them? I would be coming from Spektrum dx5c which I'm not impressed with the radio or the outlandish priced receivers, but at least i can toggle steering modes. The dx4s was a much better radio but irrelevant now. Ideally i was hoping to control diff locks with the 3pos grip switch, the Mamba x drag brake with one of the top knobs, and a winch with the other, which means what button do you even control 4ws with? You have to go through the menu to turn it on and off? Definitely no it going to work for me in a competition setting. Any clarification about the actual capabilities of this radio beyond what the YouTube reviews have me believing would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

Example: Change the settings/mode to Steering Crawl in what ever mode you want Keep it on that setting it will blink As you drive if you want to change steering modes you turn the wheel to another mode Rinse and repeat Personally I wish I could have it on the Ch3 button to switch through the modes easily one handed like how I had it setup on my Modded GT3B, 1st world problems I know.

Other than those things I do love this TX, I'm not having any gittering issues others have reported when turning the Gyro off (maybe I'm just a lucky one) in my crawling rig and having 6ch is AWESOME, I have 2 channels dedicated to a pan and tilt FPV camera using Ch5/Ch6 nobs to control it, my 3wy switch turns on/off my lights, crawling in 1st person is pretty fun, being able to look around the terrain makes me smile every time I do it. | |

I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight only took a little bit of dremeling and xacto work, mainly it's the battery I'm using super compact 15mm thick link here though discontinued now I think the new Graphene Panther is the same size I think. |

Hi! Just wondering if anyone has compared this to the Radiolink RC6GS. Both radios seem to have similar features around similar price points but this radio seems to be more popular around here. |

I use the RC4GS, it's similar with 4ch Never had any issue, it's a bit bulky but for the price i can't complain Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Yeah, the reason I was asking was because I had a Radiolink RC4G (no "S") and I liked it well enough but ended up trading it off with a vehicle since I wanted a 5 or 6 channel radio to run lights or other accessories remotely. I still have a couple of the Radiolink r4eh-g receivers but I read multiple places they are not compatible with newer Radiolink radios. |

| Re: New FlySky controller? FlySky FS-GT5 6 Channel Transmitter & FS-Gi6 Receiver Set I have an RC4GS and I loved it, but the external antenna, alone, is enough to make me suggest you look elsewhere. I didn't break the antenna on mine, but in a fall the trigger somehow got damaged and never centered properly again. I've taken a similar spill with my Spektrum DX3S and it came out unscathed. So I'd say the RC4GS is a more fragile radio. The RC6GS looks even worse with the two toggle switches tacked onto the outside as an afterthought. If you don't need the 5 channels I'd recommend the FlySky GT-5 instead.
