Losi kid,

Is it a first come first serve for the next batch?
Could you pm me?

losikid, when do you think you will have the gt3b firmware flashing kit in stock?

 

[losikid]

How does this radio compare speed wise to a Futaba. Could I use it in a onroad car.

A Futaba FASST system is going to be significantly faster than a Flysky AFHDS system


The new firmware (0.4.2 and above, most recent is 0.6.1) has been optimized so the firmware adds very little delay. The main bottleneck is the 20ms latency caused by the Flysky 2.4GHz tech...but the slow tech also gives you cheap rx's. It's a trade off....

I have no experience with on-road cars so I can't recommend if it can be used or not at the slower speed tech. The difference isn't really noticeable though in a crawler...

Losi kid,

Is it a first come first serve for the next batch?
Could you pm me?

YES, first come, first serve. I'll have 24 of them...I'll send out an email to the waiting list through my website when I post them up. They won't have a lead time on shipping either. No more lead times on radios either, I'm tired of people getting mad at me:sad: . So no pre-ordering, back-ordering, etc. There won't be stock on my site unless they're ready to ship

losikid, when do you think you will have the gt3b firmware flashing kit in stock?

Right now...

 

[losikid]

I also have (10) wall/usb chargers coming for the GT3C battery. It's alot nicer than always having to plug in your radio

I'll start stocking batteries when I figure out the proper way to ship them...but you can get them off ebay or elsewhere on the web.

How do I get on the waiting list?

yes

 

[Strub1975]

awesome thanks !!

 

[JC-8]

I know stupid question but the $100 includes the updated radio and a programmer to do another radio, or that has to be purchased separately?

Taken from Austin's site........


This includes a programmer so the radio can be upgraded to a new firmware at a later point in time. It is the same programmer included in our firmware kit.

 

[losikid]

No, 100 dollars is just the radio.

It's cost more to include the programmer (like $15-20) but that doesn't include the header. So you'd still have to buy that separate to do another radio.

However, I've currently disabled that option on the GT3C because hardly no one ever wanted one when I was selling the gt3b's pre modded....and I'm running low on programmers...and because I want these to be ready to ship when ordered, so I've stripped away alot of the optional upgrades I offered.

Not sure if i missed something but are you no longer going to sell the gt3c firmware kit? also the 6ch receiver?

 

[losikid]

Why would you think that?

And I haven't sold individual rx's for a long time...

Just curious because your website says backordered on the fireware kit i can get the individual rx's just not the firmware kit

 

[losikid]

Exactly, back-ordered....as in you can still order them as I'm waiting on parts to come in.

And they're technically in stock now and I haven't updated my site yet.

Hey.... Aewsome product. I'm using a hacked GT3c for 3 position dig on my scx10 and electronic DID and 4ws on a Clodbuster....so far I'm impressed.

But, what I'm trying to work out.... Can I use the steering wheel to controll DIG/esc mixing????
Or can I only assign it to the trim and dr buttons?

I'm building a 1/10 tracked vehicle and like the idea of using a pistol style controller

 

[Phmaximus]

this is as far as I got...

Assign DIG mix to Channel 1
Scroll to E.point, LONG enter
Scroll to d, enter
scroll to 1, LONG enter
Prec back/end afew times

Assign DIG to the CH1 steering wheel???
Scroll to REV, LONG enter
Scroll to ???? I don't know?

 

[losikid]

Yes, just the first step you listed.

That will cause the steering wheel to adjust the proportion between the two tracks. Plug 1 esc into channel 1 and the other esc into channel 2

You don't need to "map or assign" the steering wheel to the dig mix. It happens automagically.

The trigger still determines the speed
