I'm very temped to sell my orange 3C for the black/titanium version. Not that I hate the orange, I just don't own anything else orange.

Nope, that's an old foam tire from a pan car. I bolted it on and ran it like that for a long time but finally cut about 5/16" off the outside of the assembly.

the 4 colors I've seen - and the lanyard hole is truly a lifesaver:

You can also easily peel off some of the side trim to tone down the look:

I'd tossed around the idea or ordering a green one and swapping my guts into it. If it came in pink I'd have already done it.

So there actually is a black-grip version, I thought they were all the titanium/grey with some bad lighting. I actually want the titanium body with the black grips.

Review & tips on RADIOLINK RC4G

Here's my review after 3 years of using the RC4G, include some tips and compatible receiver tested and used. Mostly i used a lot for long range FPV ground car/trucks/crawlers.

Hope the info helps for new users. Cheers.

I've been using the RC3G for a couple years myself, and picked up the Hobby King version back when it was on sale for under $30 as well. Last night my GT3C just came in.

My plan is to convert all of my RCs to work with the RC3G, all of my son's RCs to work with the HK version, and all of my daughter's RCs to work with the hacked GT3C. Not only will this significantly cut down on the number of controllers banging around, but it'll give me some good experience comparing the Radiolink radios to the Flysky. Should be fun.

Last night my quick impressions of the GT3C were that it's a comfortable radio, and feels better built than the radiolinks. My biggest complaint with the Radiolinks was that they always felt like the plastic was paper thin and not really well molded. I also like the rechargeable battery in the Flysky. What I don't like about the Flysky is that the 3rd channel button and trim button are in a position that accidental activation seems like it could be a problem, especially when my 5 year old is using it. Time will tell.

Pick up some Lizard Skins and wrap it around the grip of the Radiolink. My cousin's husband is a professional baseball player that was sponsored by Lizard Skins. He gave me some and I tried them on my Turnigy RC4G. It made it feel so much better. And you can get tons of different patterns and styles.

I don't find it uncomfortable, just cheap feeling, but that doesn't bother me.

I felt the same way. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it felt cheap and slippery. Adding Lizard Skins made a big difference for grip, comfort, and it added a premium feeling to an inexpensive radio.

It certainly doesn't hurt to try it! Maybe I'll take a cue from the firearms community and stipple the grip.

So that could go well or it could look like a useless disaster then.

I rarely see DIY-stipple jobs that make me think I should try it on my Glock.

Some look amazing. But I know I don't have the patience to do that - ever. No way would I ever try it. And I'd also be hesitant to pay some company to possibly ruin one of my guns.

While the hardware is cheap....OverkillRC has answered thousands of questions on RCC about the GT3B/GT3C hack and many thousands of questions via email.


OverkillRC has also been putting together (Slowly) indepth documentation on the Flysky radios. http://overkillrc.com/php?target=support#!/


After taking into account the books and tools OverkillRC has purchased, I have not made a single dime out of selling hack kits. That $10 of markup per kit goes towards hosting all the reference material, business related expenses, and expanding my knowledge.
