- Update June 19,2023 please read the comment section, short summary of the R8FG v 2.1.
Update: June 6,2023 Radiolink release a new firmware update, they claim it will drastically improve the response time and speed of the radio, with the new r8fg version 2 receiver with combination with the lastest firmware, I hope to get one really soon, to test it.
Radiolink RC8X VS Sanwa MT44, Flysky NB4 Latency Test or response test
Radiolink RC8X retailed somewhere around $300 USD depending on where you are buying it from.
Flysky NB4 retails around $200 USD
Sanwa MT-5 retails $338 USD
Slow motion recorded at 240 frames per second, no actual measurement is done, my evaluation is based on how I feel (using the product) and video footages, please remember I am no expert, I am just sharing my opinion.
I am very frustrated because well know product influencer didn't bother to evaluate the product well enough to inform the item Pros and Cons, they just promote and buyers like me suffers if you get bad product. like this RC8X, I hope this video help future buyers and wait for an honest reviewer before you decide.
Big advantage of the RC8X, 8 channel, fast touch screen, information display bright and detailed, easy to navigate with the system configuration and more flexibility in mixing, I think this is great for crawlers.
The RC8X unit I received which I paid for, have an issue with the wheel, rotary knub and trigger calibration, most often you can see value spiking, even how many times I calibrated it. and to my disappointment is freaking slow (latency).

Update: March 8,2023, Radiolink have a complete explanation regarding FHSS protocol in my second uploaded video regarding RC8X issues, there are key take away from Radiolink, “FHSS V1 resolutions 2048 and FHSS V2 4096, V2 can achieve a more precise operation. Check your version is your R8FG (receiver). R8FG V1.0 (with production date February 6,2023) supports only FHSS V1 protocol, Not V2, if protocol of R8FG is selected incorrectly, some functions will not work properly.”
So that means anybody who purchased the RC8X radiolink earlier than February 6,2023, you have a 100 percent chance getting version 1 (R8FG) receiver, you can only set it at the lowest FHSS resolution, that the recommendation of Radiolink. Equal to slow resolution and latency.
Thanks for your time and effort testing these radios!
Your welcome 😊😊
Update 6/19/23: Firmware version 1.1.5 with the new receiver R8FG V 2.1, improvement in speed but still slower compare to Noble NB4 and Sanwa MT44, I will try to upload a slow motion comparison very soon.
Very helpful! Ordered a Noble NB4 Pro, and a std. NB4 pre-owned just before the RC8X was launched. I’m also running Mini-Z FHSS so the Futaba 4PM Plus was also on my list. Now it seems like the NB4’s are good contenders for general use, even for occasional race too.
Your welcome. 👍🏻
Thanks for the video very informative.
Thank you, very much appreciated.
nice demo , in fairness , the nb4 was slow as a snail when i got mine , the firmware updates solved it , its now lightening quick so hopefully the rc8 will improve soon . it can only be a firmware issue as the transmission protocol is capable of near instantaneous reaction. fingers crossed .
I have the new RC8X as well and seen a couple of "review" videos. I know one where it was a just an unboxing video and I did call the channel out on it and they changed their title. The other one I seen, the reviewer did mention that it is slow. If you did some research before you bought it, the RC8X uses the same receivers as the RC4GS & RC6GS... meaning they use the same protocol. Same old technology from their previous radios. Radiolink is known for really good range and very affordable receivers. This RC8X will serve my bashers and especially crawlers well. Sorry you found out the hard way and thanks for making this video.
Edit - I also have the trigger spiking sometimes between -1 to 0 to +1. Hopefully they fix it on a firmware update.
I did watch a lot of videos about the RC8x, my mistake I bought it too early ( not waiting for more feedbacks about it) I was blinded with the colorful display 😬. I going to use it for my crawler too and maybe plan to get a brasher soon. Thanks, for sharing your experiences and insight, I do hope they do fix the trigger/wheel and rotary knob issues as well.
@@oliverstoys8411 Yeah, hopefully they will address these issues with future firmware updates. I see that v1.1.1 is out now, newer than the one I downloaded and installed around the beginning of December.
Great review. The demonstration was very informative. Latency is no good. Even if it has tons of cool features. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Thanks 😊
Update February 9,2023, my radiolink RC8X connection problem happen when my transmitter is right beside the receiver (r8fg) 8 inch or less, you can still control steering but tx and receiver voltage displayed on my radio drop to null, and fluctuating signals. This will be a issue if you happen to be calibrating your car, at the beginning i assumed it would be the esc i am using, i test hobbywing 1080, tamiya esc, castle sidewinder and hobbywing xr10 all have same have the same signal dropout at very close proximity with the receivers, i am assuming either software issue or more likely hardware😬, i would suggest you guys with RC8X do your own testing, to avoid RC mishaps.
Good video! Yes, I definitely noticed a difference driving this compared to my MT-44 and NB-4 on a carpet racetrack with 2wd buggies. It's good to see the actual camera difference. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks i really appreciate it👍🏻, i did watch your videos and glad you voice out your concern and opinion about the radio, i read all the comment/reply on your video and it was really insightful, i wish i knew earlier that it was that slow (rc8x), i might have waited for a better one. So far the NB4 for me still a better all around radio (value wise) but not as quick compare to MT44, Thanks again and more power to your channel 👍🏻.
@@oliverstoys8411 thanks. I've seen that glitch on startup, I think if I turn on the car first and then the radio I don't have it.
No its not a good video. At 2:07 you can clearly see that the servo throw for the Radiolink is much greater vs the others, like 30% to 40% more. Also, its going beyond the endpoints and causing the servo saver to activate.. The delayed return time is cause by the servo saver notch having to travel 30% to 40% back the opposite way before finding center to begin moving the steering rack. Performing this test on a clapped out rack without setting endpoints is just silly and pointless.
Such a great looking radio, tons of features, touch screen, lots of adjustments. Unfortunately, limited potential in a racing environment where all those adjustments are the most useful. For now, I'll stick with my Futaba 4PM 👍 Thanks for the video!
Thanks, really appreciate your comment 👍🏻.
New update (06-06-2023)from radiolink, so far I don’t have the new r8Fg v2 receiver, so no way of testing it, according to them it will increase the performance of speed of the radio, and here the new details form Radiolink of the firmware update and new receiver requirement need to get benefit of the new changes.
Firmware V1.1.5 Upgrade Instructions
1. Optimizes the Throttle delay function.
2. Add Korean, the optional language menu includes Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish, German, Russian, and French except Korean.
3. Add "Servo Speed" in the Receiver setting menu, and the Servo Speed can select as 3ms, 4ms, or 14ms.
Servo Speed
1. Transmitter:
It is necessary to update the firmware of RC8X to V1.1.5 or above, and then select FHSS V2 protocol to display this option. Servo speed can be selected from 14ms, 4ms, and 3ms. The factory default servo speed is 14ms (analog servo speed), 4ms, and 3ms (digital servo speed).
2. Receiver:
If you are using a digital servo, you need to choose a servo speed of 4ms or 3ms. Please confirm whether the receiver you are using supports digital servo. Currently, RadioLink receivers that support digital servo include R8FG V2.1, R4FGM V2.1, R8FG, and R4FGM receivers with a factory date of 2023/4/26 and later. Other versions of RadioLink receivers do not support digital servo. Even if 4ms or 3ms is selected when using them, the default servo speed is 14ms. RadioLink will continue to add other models of receivers that support digital servos in the future. Please pay attention to RadioLink's official website.
Do you plan to do a latency follow-up video with the RC8X and the R8FGv2 receivers? I was about to buy the RC8X, but now I'm worried about the high latency, and might save up and get a Sanwa instead. The decision is hard since RadioLink tends to have longer range and really cheap receivers.
Hello, I currently don’t have the R8FG version 2 receiver, if you are not going to use it for competitive racing/drag and drift, the rc8X should be fine, (even having the new v2 receiver) the latest fhss-2 protocol for the rc8x still several years older compare to other current professional grade radio, radiolink have several advantages like, longer rang, 8 channels, multifunction and most important cheaper receivers, if you have several different type of rc cars, this will be a great radio for versatility, but for best latency, sadly radiolink will be way behind in this category.
Have you gotten a new radio? I have been a long time user of many different radios, Spektrum, Sanwa/Airtronics, and many RTR radios as well...
I have never tested our newest radios, DX5C and DX5 Pro for distance,ight have to do that here soon... but I CAN say that they definitely do work out to distances where it becomes hard to see what the car is doing or which way it's facing...
I am very close to ordering a Futaba 4PM , just to try out a Futaba... been seeing lots of people reporting issues with Sanwa , and seen a few in person with newer ones lately so I wonder about their quality maybe getting poorer than it used to be. I also don't really want a touch screen radio.
Let me knownwhat radio you ended up with and how it is working out for you. Cheers.
@@isaiahfurrow7414 I've actually been primarily a spektrum DSM2/R user myself. I avoid Sanwa because of the difficult UI. I did purchase a Radiolink RC8X, but after using it for a few weeks, I absolutely hated it. The radio is large, rattly and cheap feeling, and for me uncomfortable for extended lengths. I also felt the steering was missing resolution. The one upside it has is the tiny cheap receivers you can get. Perfect for micro cars. I was about to purchase a Futaba 7pxr, even had it in the cart, but on last second impulse, I got a Noble NB4. I have been looking at and avoiding the noble since it came out. Now I wish I had just got one in the first place. It is one of the better radios I've used. My biggest complaint is the steering wheel is a bit to close in to the controller handle. The 4PM was my third choice, with the 7pxr being my first.
Hello. Great video thank you, But, I am wondering how you took the measurements to get to the results you have posted as I didn't see any formal measurements being taken. Were these taken off-camera? or was it just done by eye? If it's by eye then the results I would say are inconclusive. As "by eye" measurements can't be relied upon.
In no way am I intentionally disrespecting your video, but I feel it needs some formal measurements being posted,
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hello, thanks for your feedback and concerns, no worries, I not here to give negative feedback to radiolink, I do suggested to read more about the rc8x before you decide. The reason there no measurements, because i never claim to be a expert in measuring milliseconds delay or latency, there few video tutorial how to measure latency using my recorded video that i uploaded(try to share as soon as i can), the recording speed for all test is 240 frame per second. I was very late to find out, I am not to happy with the response and latency of the RC8x, I was too motivated by the well known youtube influencer ( to soon to buy it immediately) that i am getting a advance radio for my application, i wish i have waited, I hoping there a way to over lap the many many features, functions and awesome display, i did buy 3 extra receivers and sold my stock RTR radio, just to motivate myself to keep it, but it really felt short for me, the display and touch screen is super sweet but every time is used it feel very slow and sluggish, to me feel very similar response to a Ready to run bundle radio, there no snappiness and quick return from the steering servo. If i don’t have flysky NB4 or Sanwa MT44, I probably would not notice and would be happy with my purchased.
You can watch Razor RC review of the RC8X, and please read the comment section, he does have some opinions and recommendations, it might be helpful, ruclips.net/video/rAoXzU_K4WI/видео.html
@@oliverstoys8411 Thanks for replying, I did look at Razor's video and the comments. I use mine for general bashing, on all my non-race cars. Plus I can bind more cars to this. The range is considerably better than the NB4 which I found to be a huge disappointment, For my race cars I use my Futaba 7PXR. But at the end of the day. Everyone will have their own favourites and opinions. As long as your having fun, that's the main thing.
@@SoneyManic agree and don’t forget radiolink much affordable receiver👍🏻. My dream radio futaba 7px series 🤩
Thanks 👍
IMO in your tests speed is obviously dependent on the tension of the spring bringing the turning wheel back to 0, and Flysky and Sanwa obviously, you can see it in your video, have harder springs and therefore are faster (and shiver more).
You should use a 3-position switch IMO, 100 - 0 - -100% to make those tests. At least this was how I did servo-speed-tests. And this should also be valid for latency.
Probably you could turn the wheel even faster with your hands than spring-tension does?
Thanks for your feedback, Some how you have a point with the tension spring vs the mt44 and nb4, but at the start of the turn it’s already obvious the rc8x very sluggish, you can also look at the my vintage sanwa radio test video the the tension weaker compare to the radiolink, and also they are similar in protocol FHSS version 2, but obviously the older sanwa still out performs the Rc8X, i have the radiolink for 2 months already, it still feel and sense the steering very sluggish and mediocre (like a ready to run bundle radio), i would like to test it on a 3 switch position but it going to be a waist of my time, it’s not up par to some popular $250usd and up to speed and quick response, but i do like the features, affordable receivers and awesome touch display, i am still using it for my re release tamiya sand scorchers and 3 of my crawlers, that is my personal experience with the product, every person have his favorite radio, for me i do really regret buying this, if I don’t have the mt44 or the nb4 i properly love this radio, I hope you can also check out razor rc product review, and read the comments.
@@oliverstoys8411 I do only have a Noble ;-) - and no favourite radio; however, ordered an RC8X recently, did not yet arrive, my first Radiolink radio. I am not a fanboy of any brand at all, but love my Flysky Noble NB4.
But this is what I first thought when watching your video.
Another point: The foam on the steering wheels. You press your finger, hold the wheel, and remove it. Different foams, softer, harder, stickier, less sticky... those probably are only few ms, but will affect the result, too.
IMO the only way to do this is using a 2 or 3 pos switch. I know, testing and analyzing is super time consuming, did servo speed tests this way once.
@@donaldsneffe i do believe you have a point regarding foam and others, but i still prefer using the steering as a gauge, because that what i am concern about steering feel, responses and accuracy, adding the marker to gauge the position of the servo, normally I don’t drive full steer to 100 percent opposite direction, just wait for your radiolink to arrive and do your assessment, you never know i might be wrong, the reason why i purchased the rc8x the features and vibrant display and recommendation of youtube influencer, what can go wrong, but i should have waited, i have my old MX3FG sanwa radio, the steering would be very outdated (noisy, squeaky, you feel steering resistance) btw with foam pads too, comparing to todays standard, i can say it’s very old and feels old(mx3fg) , but for me it’s obviously quicker and more accurate compare to my rc8x, i really hoping the rc8x with be at least same as the nb4, my mt44 with FHSS-version 4 is faster than the nb4, the new sanwa have a new model MT-5 using FHSS-Version 5, for me radiolink Rc8X (FHSS-version 2)would maybe be up to par if they just used the new protocol, in the end of the day, if you are happy with your radio that great 👍🏻.
Please read some of the other comments across social media, i am not the only one complaining.
@@oliverstoys8411 I do not doubt your feelings and experience in any way and I appreciate your effort and your videos.
My comment was only related to this test in this video.
I was "in the same situation", wanting to perform a similar test (servo speed measurements) about a year ago.
I am not a professional in RC radios at all; however, I am a super interested hobbyist, love to test new stuff and super interested in any news.
But I am scientist, professional, and therefore I know how to setup and analyze experiments and measurements, and know about about critical factors.
When I made my servo tests, I initially also wanted to use the steering wheel to let the servos "snap back". But after thinking a bit about the setup I realized, there is the factor "speed of the steering wheel", which I could easily eliminate by using a push-button which only knows 0/100.
The factor "different foam" (sticks to your finger) is a minor one, but a factor, too.
So the first thing I thought when watching your video was "those steering wheels do not go back with same speed" and therefore those results cannot be correct, even not "near to correct".
But this does not doubt or critisize your "feelings and experience" in any way. However, "feelings" are subjective.
@@donaldsneffe agreed👍🏻 feeling is subjective, I can’t duplicate how fast i turn the steering wheel i am only human, you always note that I don’t use any foam , what about the MF3XG, that why there are 4 different radio, but the marker should be very similar to the direction of the steering wheel and the servo, or at least servo should trailing by close enough like the sanwa mt4, you should also note that i am using a bootleg sanwa receiver too, it could be also a factor, and also i using a larger steering wheel too, for me seeing the markers is important, and dont just look at the return, look at beginning turn it so delay already (rc8x), I am not the only person who done this test for other radio, using a 3 position switch will also depend of the speed of you hand and sensitivity of the switch), the best way it should be “automated” if you want accuracy and consistency, use a program to automate the switch process sequence.
We are agree to disagree.
Update: I did order 2 more R8FG receivers, bind it again fhss v2 protocol, test it with my bench setup, same issues throttle glitch at the start up, steering response still very slow and sluggish 😬😬, the large display of transmitter does consumed the battery faster, I realy wish i didn’t get Radiolink RC8X, i can only use it for my slow cars.
Would a Futuba 4pm be better ???
@@BigDreamsSmallWalletRC if you compare in speed and steering responses, yes. The Futaba 4PM is faster (good for competitive racing). But the Radiolink have several advantages like 8 channels, many features and functions, i think it will be a good all around radio for most RC vehicles, rc8x just fell short if you are going to used it for high precision racing, which demands quick accurate steering responses.
Update as of February 8,2023, another issues i found out, jumping to different fhss v1 and v2 protocols (receiver) are not a good idea, for example bind connected to r8fg receiver with fhss v2 protocol saved, then you pre select different car with to R6fg fhss v1 protocol, it will not bind, you need to confirm again the fhss v1 (checked) protocol to v1 enter confirm before you can start using the assigned car, when going back to another with fhss vs 2 protocol you need to go again to receiver setting and select v2 enter confirmed. 😬😬😬😬Freaking complicated!! As long as you stayed fhss v2 saved receivers you will be fine. Another problem i found out, both receivers r8fg and r6fg losing binding connection (receiver voltage 7.4volts) with my kyosho USA1 esc( oem Hobbywing ), I used the sanwa and flysky receivers with no drop out on signals. Either this radiolink need a pretty stable firmware update or I don’t know.
I really enjoyed this…. However I would love to see if the latency of the rc8x is improved when using the latest receivers. What are the chances?
I hope the r8fg version 2 will be more responsive compare to v1, we just have to wait and see.
@@oliverstoys8411 well even after seeing your great review i went ahead and got the rc8x anyway and with the fpv and v2 receiver, great remote but ive no way of testing the latency... but im no pro and just race at a private club
@@benjistern5874 they have a new firmware according to radiolink will give you the speed improvement with the new v2 receiver and updated firmware, i dont have the v2 receiver yet, maybe you can check the new firmware and hope it does give a big improvement.
@@oliverstoys8411 good to know!!! But to be honest using the old firmware is perfectly fine. I think only a serious pro racer would notice the difference
The fly sky and Sanwa murdered
Does it make a difference you are using an air receiver? Ground receivers have only one antenna I thought! I might be wrong
Radiolink RC8X include R8FG receiver dual antennas only, now they are offering additional option R4FGM single antenna but for 1/28 or 1/27 micro RC.
The sanwa is faster than the futaba 4pm, how I know because I use both of them
thanks for the info 👍
I've read that the 7PXR from Futaba has had bad latency problems too. Can this be confirmed?
I don’t have Futaba 7pxr, (can’t confirmed) that’s one of my wishlist radio, so far i did see many pro level racing guys use either 7px or m17 in high level racing, it should be the best of the best radio out there, and it will be sad if slower that other cheaper radios in the market.
@@oliverstoys8411 I read about that over on the arrma rc forums.
I happened to be researching about my RC4GS radio because a bunch of drift rc guys says it has bad latency and Radiolink's gyro enabled receivers they claimed are bad.
Not sure if that group just has some extreme brand loyalty thing going on though, but I've seen someone on youtube match up the RC4GS with a Sanwa MT4 and they were almost similar in latency, simply matching my experience thus far on the RC4GS being a responsive radio overall
@@h.cedric8157 for my experience build in gyro even flysky or radiolink does not perform very well, comparing to some external gyro. great gyro does not shake to much even at 60-80 percent gain and also have better smoother turning transition, there a few affordable gyro for $20-40 usd (afrc, hackslider yeah racing). Regarding the radiolink latency, they published on there website standard radiolink FHHS vesrion 1 protocol does have only 14ms speed, and only work analog servo communications, that why in my video the radiolink does not perform well compare to any of my radio presented in this video, i am waiting for the r8FG vesion 2.1 claims to have the FHHS v2 protocol, that is compatible with digital servo and they claim to be faster 4 to 3ms latency and will test it out once i have it. Unfortunately the RC4GS is only FHHS version 1 protocol so resolutions will be very low, the new RC8X will be the best option once the new receiver version 2.1 are available.
From Radiolink RC8X hardware and firmware update details: Servo Speed
1. Transmitter:
It is necessary to update the firmware of RC8X to V1.1.5 or above, and then select FHSS V2 protocol to display this option. Servo speed can be selected from 14ms, 4ms, and 3ms. The factory default servo speed is 14ms (analog servo speed), 4ms, and 3ms (digital servo speed).
2. Receiver:
If you are using a digital servo, you need to choose a servo speed of 4ms or 3ms. Please confirm whether the receiver you are using supports digital servo. Currently, RadioLink receivers that support digital servo include R8FG V2.1, R4FGM V2.1, R8FG, and R4FGM receivers with a factory date of 2023/4/26 and later. Other versions of RadioLink receivers do not support digital servo. Even if 4ms or 3ms is selected when using them, the default servo speed is 14ms. RadioLink will continue to add other models of receivers that support digital servos in the future. Please pay attention to RadioLink's official website.
@@h.cedric8157 if you are really interested with the RC4GS, i will suggested you wait, i am sure radiolink will release budget model with the FHHS v2 protocol with higher resolution and compatible with the new digital communication 2.1 receivers.
@@oliverstoys8411 My current RC4GS with a late 2018 mfg date (hence compatible with the latest version 6.0.3 firmware, but not v6.0.3 functions available due to chip limits) has had it's antenna replaced with 2.4ghz rated 3db (I think) antenna, after having had "animal contact" and I've been using only the ridiculously tiny R4FGM v1.1 in all my RC vehicles, running digital servos Kyosho LAV 1:18, HPI Blitz(very slide-y for a stadium truck), and my TT02 type R(currently trying to work on converting my Takara Tomy 1:24 drift car, and one of them six wheel 1:16 WPL trucks)
It will take time to have my local online electronics stores to stock up on the v2 R4FGMs, as they have large stocks of the pre- april 2023 versions.
The only time I had issues with the Radiolink Gyro as you explained is with the "included in box" R6FG receiver I got with my RC4GS back in 2019, but not with the V1.1 R4FGMs
I also saw that my radio is qualified for a discount to get to RC6GS V3 on their site. I might check with Radiolink if they could get something for the RC8X.
But overall would you say the RC4GS is trash as told by them drift clubbers?
Sanwa is always world champion in Response.
By digital servos you can set the modulation in the bind menu from normal to shr (sanwa high resonse), than it’s faster. And when you have a sanwa ssr able servo, you can set it on ssr (sanwa super Response. That ist the fastest mode you can get.
An use digital brushless servos to test it on 7,4V or 8,4V that it’s Zero Delay.
There un can see it best.
It’s best fun to have servo and response super fast.
100 times better when everything is fast Like your fingers.
1000 times more fun then driving with gyro recivers.
All my offroaders are sanwa fhss4 with brushless servo on 7,5V and it’s super fun.
Some are sanwa srg servos. This is the old ssr series.
The new are in the pgs line with ssr.
Long time to change everything but buying used and have time helps.
It’s awesome together with castle x series controllers and motors.
Believe me it’s pure smiling.
Good video, thanks 😊👋🏻
Thanks 😊, i agree with you Sanwa fast, for me mt44 is my benchmark, it can do more with the proper add on 👍🏻👍🏻.
👏👏👏👏👏👍🔝🔝🔝
Thanks 😀
Ya lost me when you said the NB4 looks old. Those big Thors hammers sized plastic bricks look old AF. NB4 looks futuristic comparatively and being able to just move the wheel around the remote.
I really love my NB4 love the design too, the only disadvantage for me the brightness display, which need to be brighter for outdoor very sunny 🌞 use, the display of the radiolink rc8x look amazing because of the vibrant color and update graphics but the overall speed, efficiency and reliability goes to NB4 in my opinion.
I will bet you are using an older video reciever. The V2 recievers are way better.
FYI, the receiver I am using the R8FG (latest), the highest Radiolink can do is FHSS V2, comparing with other brand who have newer protocols (several generations) already, for example the vintage Sanwa Mx3FG in this video use FHSS-2, next the Sanwa MT-44 use FHSS-4 and the newest Sanwa MT-5 which I don’t have use FHSS-5, the Radiolink use very old protocol which are compatible with there older receiver FHSS-1 the only highest option in the menu option RC8X will be FHSS-2( latest firmware update), that is why it’s way behind speed resolution compare to other leading transmitters.
The video I made, are for reference only, usually what you expect to get when you buy any of this radio and receiver, and I did explained in this video the all brand are tested with the included receivers, except for the Sanwa MT-44 that I used a cheap clone receiver ($17 usd), but the MT44 still perform effortless again the other models in this video.
It's latency at far distance is the problem, do another test
Latency at long distance will probably have the same results, there a comment made by Radiolink in my second video regarding issues with the radio blind spot and switching Fhss protocol, for my understanding the r8fg receiver manufacturer earlier than february 6,2023 are FHSS v1 that means it design to work properly to fhss v1, that mean lower resolution 2046, even though it will kinda work with fhss v2, radiolink don’t recommend it, because some functions will not work properly according to Radiolink.
For reference only skip to 2:30 seconds ruclips.net/video/1bKn2xS3wBU/видео.htmlsi=FcoyZN3eMUkY4WFb
Looks like they all suck when it’s in slow motion.
you have it on a V1 rx and V1 is slow af
In this video, r8fg Tested both V1 and V2 protocol, and didn’t make any difference in performance, i have already 3 r8fg receivers, Radiolink already commented that any radiolink rc8x manufacturer later than february 6,2023, the receiver included R8FG version 1. Should be set to fhss v1, You can still set to v2 but not all function will work properly. The complete comment by Radiolink will be available at my second video i published, there are two comments from radiolink explaining 2 issues I encountered, blindspot and switch v1 and v2 protocol.
2:07 The servo throw for the Radiolink is much longer causing the servo saver to activate. The delayed return time is cause by the servo saver notch finding center before it can move the rack. This test is a joke and you're spreading misinformation.
All test used the same servo, servo horn and esc bec voltage, Radiolink already informed on the website that the r8fg receivers released earlier than Feb 2023 are slower FHSS 14ms slower resolution , before you criticized do your research. (This video was made 8 months ago FYI).
@@oliverstoys8411 It has nothing to due with the servo horn.. I'm referring to the endpoint adjustments on the radio. You clearly had a higher endpoint value set on the Radiolink. Also, response and resolution are two completely different things. Response time is tied to latency and is measured in MS. Resolution is how many position points your transmitter can relay to the servo or esc. Common man you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
@@johns818 all radio set 100 percent endpoint both directions, i guess you don’t know what you are arguing about either, i am not the only user complaining (well known youtuber)about it the latency of the radiolink and they stop using it for competitive drag, drift or racing, let just say we agree to disagree, no use in going further, Radiolink officially post on there website about latency of the older receiver 14ms, going against 3 to 4ms that a big difference, the only difference from other reviewers that i found out the RC8X is slower than other brand earlier. At the end of the day if you are happy with the radio i am happy for you.
