Two things that really need to be mentioned are that this transmitter/receiver combo has more range than probably any other unit and that it has quite fast response times. The range, on other channels, was tested to work at over 500m, which really is very impressive, especially for the money.
I purchased additional receivers and run 4 different brand models with 1 transmitter. I have to make slight adjustments to throttle dual rate when chaging models but no other issues.
If you take the sticker and screw off the wheel and pop off the wheel, the hard plastic separates from the center wheel. You can then put a foam or rubber grip on perfectly. I added a tiny bit of hot glue to make sure it doesn't slip. It's like they made it to do this.
Wow, I was really surprised to hear that these guys at Dumbo RC make Radiolink products. 😂 Also I was maybe going to buy a Radiolink transmitter receiver bundle for over 2x more but saw that this is pretty much from Radiolink so I’m buying this one lol😅
I got one based on your recommendation. Going to use it for the Axial Capra because it has a dig servo and led lights. So the 6 channels will come in handy. 👍
Thanks for the review. Actually it is VERY easy to DIY those additional 5-6 channels if they are missing. You only need a pair of 1KOhm potentiometers in series and drill the holes. The socket for them is already there and even clearly marked.
Hey there everybody, I know this video is four years old but I thought I would give my two cents. I have a few of these remotes and they’re really great. I don’t know why this just popped in my head but for anyone who has a RLAARLO car or truck and it came with the regular transmitter that they give everybody with the flat top three knobs two buttons in the power button. You’re probably gonna have range issues. Here’s a little tip that can help you greatly. Take the transmitter apart, inside, you will see the actual antenna wire taped to the inside of the transmitter. What I did was I drilled a little pinhole in the top of my transmitter and pulled that wire through so now it’s on the outside of the transmitter where it belongs. It’s super easy and should take you more than 15 minutesand your range will be way way better
Hi, I tried to do a multi binding with two other cars and it didn't work very well at all don't do it! But the range and gyro control is great! for the money its very good. cheers
Good comprehensive review, like that you included a bit about who/what DumboRC is. But why start by showing foam on the wheel for the review, if it didn't come with the radio??
Easiest receiver to bind. I just got one. I’m actually liking the analog dials on this better than the digital display on my Flysky GT3B. Can you tell me where you got the foam wheel?
@@MischaGielen here’s what I ended up using on mine. I just used Shoe Goo to glue it on the existing plastic wheel www.jconcepts.net/shop/dirttech-foam-grip
also i run 3 cars with one remote. once you bind them it works. just turn on the radio and the car you want to use and it works. will also control multiple at once
There is a set up video, but the guy has an accent. It’s not too hard to follow, but .... I didn’t realize it doesn’t have memory for more than one device. It would be worth a lot more if it did.
Hi Razor RC . Good video! Just got this radio very easy to bind and set gyro . But cant seem to get into program mode I want to calibrate throttle/steering Any tips (yes tried broken english manual) Thanks!
almayification I used the manual and I was able to understand it. It comes with max usage on the channel 1&2. It doesn’t do anything at all to help it or change anything in a good way leave it how it is
I am finding that my steering maxes out at roughly a quarter turn on the controller. Do you know if this is a setup issue? The trim controls how far the wheels turn, but with the trim set to 100%, the wheels turn fully when I turn the controller wheel 25% of the way.
Wow, a lot has happened in 4 years, the Transmitter actually does come with EPC, but I still have no idea what it does? What is the difference between EPC for the steering servo and Dual Rate steering?
Mine came in a plastic bag no box no paper work receiver was tied to remote by the antenna I hope it works better than how it was packaged and sent to me
Its the EPA trim, its right bottom knob. Do not turn the top right knob to high or else it will run away or into u like it did me. I took a 1/8 arrma to the shin does not feel good trust me lol.
Can someone help with how to adjust breaking force on this transmitter if possible. Doesn't break very well even after calibrating. It's on a Tamiya TT 01 chassis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nice review. I'm not sure what's wrong with your nails from the vid but see a chemist or maybe your doctor. It looks like it could be nail fungus. You can fix it with a nail file and and a topical ointment over several months. I'm no doctor so it might be something else, it just looks similar to something I've seen before. worth while getting it checked out if you haven't already though. Thanks for the vid, best review so far I've seen for the dumbo tx. I do wonder if the steering trim has a dentent though. I like the door though, I like to set the trim to neutral and not bump it and set the steering on the car itself. My current controller I keep bumping it.
Hello. I bought two pieces of this radio and few transmitters. On some models like Serpent 1/10 s411 onroad is okay. But when i tried it with enabled gyro on XO-1 i got minimal 2 disconnection in one hour. When i taken Typhon 6S on the track, connection was lost like 8times in one hour. Completely. I think that enabled gyro takes so much sources and transmitter stop response till it is not turned off and powered on again. Its strange behavior. And seems to me only when gyro is enabled so orange led is on. Have you got the similar experiences? I used Dumbo RC on onroad 1/10 without gyro for 4months without any issue. But in models where i wanted to try integrated gyro, it seem it is not a good solution in long term. I just borrow Spectrum DX5 pro from my friend and no issues. So this china can be good, but not for all situations.
So just a question if thats ok? When selecting the gyro mode,, does it stay in gyro mode if yoi turn it off and then back on? Bevause turning the gyro on ebery time would be a pain,, especially if it was in a water propf receiver box! Great vid thanks Thumbs up👍
@@RazorRC Are the recivers compatible? I've noticed the R6FG and X6FG look exactly the same. If you are not sure, could you please test for me? I have a few Dumbo RC recivers and would like to know if I can use an upgrade my radio and still use all the Dumbo RC recivers
I have one and don't like it. I can't find how to set the individual right and left end points for a 2 speed transmission servo on channel 3 or 4. I can only find a way to set the % of the full throw from right to left. So if you can help this would be great. If not then this radio is useless for multiple servos.
I mounted the receiver vertical in the stock receiver box on my arrma notorious... So I guess that explains why my gyro hasn't been working lol. Rookie mistake haha oh well its a basher anyways just got the radio to upgrade the crappy stx2 that came with it.
Yes and vise versa, for someone who already has a few Dumbo RC recivers, an RC4GS would be an obvious upgrade for someone looking get a better more functional remote who already has a few Dumbo RC receivers
I bought the 4channel version with 3 xtra rx to run my cars and boats. Trying not to have so many rtr tx to pack around. Is there any reason I could not simply re-bind it when going to another vehicle? Seems simple enough, although some re-trim would be necessary. But 1 servo. So what. Your reasons for saying it can't be for multiple vehicles?
Do you know what the max BEC voltage supported by the receiver is?? I have this exact setup in my outcast 6s, with a mamba monster x. Just ordered a 7.4 volt servo. My mamba monster x has a 7.5 volt bec setting.
I just got one of these. Anyone know why I would have no reverse after double checking servo/esc wires, rebinding/recalibrating transmitter, and racking my brain?
zero the servo as normal turn the dual rate down to about 50% slowly turn the dual rate up whilst turning the wheel from left to right until the steering just binds then turn the dual rate back a little. this is a best fit, as stated in the vid you will probably end up with more steering one way tan the other. Its also one of the problems with multiple binding the radio i.e. each model would need a different setting
Seems like you know a lot about the DumboRc X6! Any idea how to reverse the throttle direction? I've tried two different transmitters and the switch doesn't switch the direction.
@@LeBlanc10 Thanks for the tip! Tried four different brand receiver/transmitter combos, connecting the hobbywing 120 EZ to the computer to switcch the settings and still couldn't reverse the direction. Solved by modifying the diff housings and flipping the diffs. Way more work when you only expected to flip a switch on the transmitter! The Dumbo transmitter works fine, the ESC didn't want to work right.
@@dustinkarrick7819 one more thing to keep in mind in case you ever need to do that again. if you are running brushed or brushless sensorless motors you can switch the wires around. Any two of the three wires. And the motor will rotate the opposite direction . matching the wires correctly Only truly matters if you are running a sensored system.
@@LeBlanc10 Absolutely! This was intended to be a sensored setup. It did work unplugging the sensor wire and switching the wires. But what's the point in having a sensored ESC and Motor if you're not going to use em!
@Razor RC Thanks for the help. I'm currently using the radio that came with my rtr setup and it kind of sucks. If I'm going to upgrade I really do want it to be an upgrade. I actually received it and the steering trim was set way to the right to even out the steering. I thought it should have been centered so I did it myself. Thought all was well and after driving noticed it was now way to the left after I had centered it. Don't know if that is a radio issue, a servo issue, a servo saver issue or something else but I'm hoping to get rid of these types of problems.
I raced for the first time this weekend. Had this bound to a Tekno ET48.3. (Yes I now know that’s not the class to start with 😂) I really don’t want to spend more money on a radio when this one has such fast response / low latency and good range. Are EPA worth spending 300 minimum on? Your thoughts pls? :) Thx!!
My rating for the manual is 0, cause I didn't get a manual with either of the units I received. I did eventually find the manual on some FCC site. Google um-4307855. Pdf
The flysky gt3 b is a decent radio I've had it for about 6months and have raced with it and it's a good radio especially for around 40$ definitely worth it even if you have a good radio because the receivers are dirtcheap so you can use it as a basher radio or if you have a bunch of cars that you don't want your 50+$ recievers in
Same here Andrew! I love my flysky! And you can get receivers for 10$ or 3 for 20$!! And it performs great! Have had no issues with mine. A great upgrade at a entry level price. Can't beat it!
It's also hackable for 8 ch with full control on each ch. Any button can be assigned to any ch. Best cheap setup I could find at the time. Once the hacked firmware is installed it can be setup to do all kinds of things. Gt3 c has better battery 1s lipo.
Hey, I recently got this receiver/transmitter set up. I put it in my arrma senton 3s Blx which has the blx100esc. I installed it with the controls and Gyro working perfectly for about one minute until everything halts and the ESC starts blinking red. I made sure to do a factory reset, and ensure that I am working with a full battery in both the controller and the car. Several times now, same result. Now when I hold the send button and turn it on it just blinks/chirps and won’t stop until I turn it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi razor rc, I have a question about this transmitter well actually it's the surpass hobby 4 channel version of this transmitter but idk what I done but now I can't get my wpl c14 truck to work with this transmitter anymore!!! It worked great for like a month used it everyday but then all of a sudden I had a red blinking light on my cheap $10 surpass hobby/no brand esc from Banggood and it would no longer work at all but I had steering still!! I changed my esc now 3 different times with the same kind of cheap esc's and all I get is the same red blinking light on each of them soon as I plug in my battery!!! Then I used a castle micro sidewinder 2 esc in the same wpl c14 truck and I couldn't get it to work for longer then a couple seconds at an extremely low speed and then that esc would cut off and start flashing red so I tried to calibrate the remote to the castle esc and now I can't get receiver to do anything other then just light up but no response not even steering!!! Can you please help me with this?? And I apologise for the long message also!!
I have a feeling it's the battery, not the radio or ESC. Check the voltage on the battery with a cheap lipo alarm or if your charger can tell you, make sure it's at the full voltage. Are you using lipo batteries?
@@RazorRC at first I was using just the cheap ass battery packs that the truck came with and then I bought one of the li-ion battery upgrades but it didn't come with a charger but I had bought a cheap imaxRC b3 pro compact charger for 2 and 3 cell lipo batteries awhile back for my wltoys a979 truck I have but it doesn't have a voltage display on the charger and honestly not sure if it is actually charging the li ion battery even though it shows that it is!!! I am fairly new to the whole hobby grade rc hobby but have enjoyed rc my whole life from childhood to now being 34 lol!!!
@@RazorRC I feel like an idiot by asking that question but from all the hundreds of video I have watched none of them have actually given me the answer I am needing so the only other way to find out the info I need is to just look like an idiot and ask people the question lol!!!
@@webb6158 no worries, no such thing as a dumb question, doesn't matter who you are there are always people who know more than you or know less! yeah double check the voltage with a $5 voltage checker/alarm and make sure it's fully charged. Some chargers have a time cutoff or mah cutoff that is set too low, so you don't get a full charge and you need to increase it. that's a common problem.
Ok I will order one of these lipo checkers/alarms immediately and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to talk with me about all of this and I have been watching alot of your vids and you have great content!!!
Got one brand new for my slash worked great until the velineon system crapped out. Replaced with newer version vxl 3s, using same transmitter and receiver and get a blinking green light.

@@RazorRC ill recalibrate it again but ive done it a few times and it still blinks green. It also blinks when I threw in an axial tx and rd also.

Kevin talbut RC you tube,he does unboxing, and said that you can add up to twenty receivers,there a switch on the receiver and turn in controller and they just bind,only one car at a time,even has 2settings for normal steering and a mode for tanks Bacco trucks,etc
When I turn off the transmitter while the car is on, sometimes its goes crazy full throttle. Anyone faced the same thing?, or I just have a defected unit?
@@RazorRC Will do that and report back. But still Im wondering if someone else have the problem. Have you tried switching pff the transmitter while the car/boat is still on. You have to do it may times for it to happen

Tried four different brand receiver/transmitter combos, connecting the hobbywing 120 EZ to the computer to switcch the settings and still couldn't reverse the direction. Solved by modifying the diff housings and flipping the diffs. Way more work when you only expected to flip a switch on the transmitter! The Dumbo transmitter works fine, the ESC didn't want to work right.
@@dustinkarrick7819 one more thing to keep in mind in case you ever need to do that again. if you are running brushed or brushless sensorless motors you can switch the wires around. Any two of the three wires. And the motor will rotate the opposite direction .
matching the wires correctly Only truly matters if you are running a sensored system.
@@LeBlanc10 Absolutely! This was intended to be a sensored setup. It did work unplugging the sensor wire and switching the wires. But what's the point in having a sensored ESC and Motor if you're not going to use em!
can i use the gyro with a 4 channel Transmittler?
No
Hi, how do we set the failsafe?
Factory set, when it disconnects it sets servos to default position so throttle etc isn’t engaged
How big a deal is it that it doesn't have end point adjustment? I don't want to prematurely wear out my servo.
Not a big deal, just turn down the DR
@Razor RC Thanks for the help. I'm currently using the radio that came with my rtr setup and it kind of sucks. If I'm going to upgrade I really do want it to be an upgrade. I actually received it and the steering trim was set way to the right to even out the steering. I thought it should have been centered so I did it myself. Thought all was well and after driving noticed it was now way to the left after I had centered it. Don't know if that is a radio issue, a servo issue, a servo saver issue or something else but I'm hoping to get rid of these types of problems.
Can you use this controller on a nitro rc ?
I raced for the first time this weekend. Had this bound to a Tekno ET48.3. (Yes I now know that’s not the class to start with 😂)
I really don’t want to spend more money on a radio when this one has such fast response / low latency and good range.
Are EPA worth spending 300 minimum on?
Your thoughts pls? :)
Thx!!
Does it have fail save
My rating for the manual is 0, cause I didn't get a manual with either of the units I received. I did eventually find the manual on some FCC site. Google um-4307855. Pdf
Great, thx man!
BreakinStuffAndLikingIt how do you bind it is it where you just hit that button or how’s it done
@@jasonlemmond3012 turn on transmitter. Hit tiny button on receiver. It will quickly flash. When it stops it should be paired
Wish it had a high medium and low cause my kids drive my car.
Just turn down the throttle dual-rate. It's the right bottom knob.
Does the flysky gt5 worth the extra? I am about to buy this one
yes I think it's worth the extra $
The flysky gt3 b is a decent radio I've had it for about 6months and have raced with it and it's a good radio especially for around 40$ definitely worth it even if you have a good radio because the receivers are dirtcheap so you can use it as a basher radio or if you have a bunch of cars that you don't want your 50+$ recievers in
Same here Andrew! I love my flysky! And you can get receivers for 10$ or 3 for 20$!! And it performs great! Have had no issues with mine. A great upgrade at a entry level price. Can't beat it!
Chris Watson I've seen the recievers for 5$ and the gt3 b has model memory much better buy in my opinion also
@@andrewbrummer9539 Where did you see the receivers for 5$? Yeah I'm happy with mine.
Chris Watson I think eBay the prices go down and up once they go back down I will buy some more
It's also hackable for 8 ch with full control on each ch.
Any button can be assigned to any ch.
Best cheap setup I could find at the time.
Once the hacked firmware is installed it can be setup to do all kinds of things.
Gt3 c has better battery 1s lipo.
how to setup failsafe for nitro?
You would lose your TSM on your Traxxas right?
Scott McLinden yes, you have to change out the receiver too
Every time you trying to remote on and find whatever car you have on multiple vehicles
I have mine connected up and everything is working but when I pull the throttle truck move in reverse why is this
Most likely your motor wires are reversed from the ESC. Or you need to switch the Normal/Reverse on channel 2.
Hey, I recently got this receiver/transmitter set up. I put it in my arrma senton 3s Blx which has the blx100esc. I installed it with the controls and Gyro working perfectly for about one minute until everything halts and the ESC starts blinking red. I made sure to do a factory reset, and ensure that I am working with a full battery in both the controller and the car. Several times now, same result. Now when I hold the send button and turn it on it just blinks/chirps and won’t stop until I turn it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Same with my granite 3s BLX. How did you fix it?
Hi razor rc, I have a question about this transmitter well actually it's the surpass hobby 4 channel version of this transmitter but idk what I done but now I can't get my wpl c14 truck to work with this transmitter anymore!!! It worked great for like a month used it everyday but then all of a sudden I had a red blinking light on my cheap $10 surpass hobby/no brand esc from Banggood and it would no longer work at all but I had steering still!! I changed my esc now 3 different times with the same kind of cheap esc's and all I get is the same red blinking light on each of them soon as I plug in my battery!!! Then I used a castle micro sidewinder 2 esc in the same wpl c14 truck and I couldn't get it to work for longer then a couple seconds at an extremely low speed and then that esc would cut off and start flashing red so I tried to calibrate the remote to the castle esc and now I can't get receiver to do anything other then just light up but no response not even steering!!! Can you please help me with this?? And I apologise for the long message also!!
I have a feeling it's the battery, not the radio or ESC. Check the voltage on the battery with a cheap lipo alarm or if your charger can tell you, make sure it's at the full voltage. Are you using lipo batteries?
@@RazorRC at first I was using just the cheap ass battery packs that the truck came with and then I bought one of the li-ion battery upgrades but it didn't come with a charger but I had bought a cheap imaxRC b3 pro compact charger for 2 and 3 cell lipo batteries awhile back for my wltoys a979 truck I have but it doesn't have a voltage display on the charger and honestly not sure if it is actually charging the li ion battery even though it shows that it is!!! I am fairly new to the whole hobby grade rc hobby but have enjoyed rc my whole life from childhood to now being 34 lol!!!
@@RazorRC I feel like an idiot by asking that question but from all the hundreds of video I have watched none of them have actually given me the answer I am needing so the only other way to find out the info I need is to just look like an idiot and ask people the question lol!!!
@@webb6158 no worries, no such thing as a dumb question, doesn't matter who you are there are always people who know more than you or know less! yeah double check the voltage with a $5 voltage checker/alarm and make sure it's fully charged. Some chargers have a time cutoff or mah cutoff that is set too low, so you don't get a full charge and you need to increase it. that's a common problem.
Ok I will order one of these lipo checkers/alarms immediately and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to talk with me about all of this and I have been watching alot of your vids and you have great content!!!
My steering trim is actually reversed. Any fixes?
I’m guessing your steering switch is reversed? Nothing you can do about it.
Got one brand new for my slash worked great until the velineon system crapped out. Replaced with newer version vxl 3s, using same transmitter and receiver and get a blinking green light. Reprogrammed transmitter and same results. Is it not compatible with the new vxl 3s? Any help please would be appreciated.
recalibrate the full throttle/brake on the ESC
@@RazorRC ill recalibrate it again but ive done it a few times and it still blinks green. It also blinks when I threw in an axial tx and rd also. I did try a fly sky setup and that seemed to work but fly sky rx is damaged, goes out of range after about 40 feet out. I really dont want to spend over 100 dollars for a traxxas tx and rx there is gotta be a way to make this dumbo work. Ill try again thanks for the advice.
@@martij82 Did you get it to work? I know it's been over a year but I'm in the same boat haha
@@xx-----------xx873 No never I just got an original Traxxas transmitter and receiver that my buddy gave me and its working fine. Maybe the dumbo one crapped out I guess.
I use the foam off a broken wltoys radio on my dumbo RC Wheel
Pc what is the size so I can get one
Nice job!
Question, can this radio be binded with multiple receivers?
yes, but you're going to have to set your trim and dual-rate every time you switch cars
@@RazorRCthanks for the answer, I am cool with that is the same vehicle I just need a transmitter that could work on both
I think they mean the type of plastic is ABS
What's it's control range mate?
About 500m, more than enough
I've heard it has model memory? Just add receivers to multiple cars. Is this true?
Where did you hear that...
No
Kevin talbut RC you tube,he does unboxing, and said that you can add up to twenty receivers,there a switch on the receiver and turn in controller and they just bind,only one car at a time,even has 2settings for normal steering and a mode for tanks Bacco trucks,etc
How do you program lets say the read as self righting to the dumborc?
Self righting is a feature of the Traxxas receiver. If you change it to a DumboRC, you won’t have it anymore.
Oh gotcha, thanks I appreciate the quick response
Cool Video Bro 😎✌🏻
Do you know the name of the official site of Dumbo ?
I found :) www.dumborc.com/en/
When I turn off the transmitter while the car is on, sometimes its goes crazy full throttle. Anyone faced the same thing?, or I just have a defected unit?
Ahmed try setting the fail safe on your car. If it loses signal (like your turn off the car), it goes to its preset failsafe.
@@RazorRC Does this happens to you too? Can you tell me how to set this fail safe. Im just worried if my car gets out of range and start acting up
Ahmed try binding it again, it’s in the manual. Basically just hit the button on the receiver one time and it should flash
@@RazorRC Will do that and report back. But still Im wondering if someone else have the problem. Have you tried switching pff the transmitter while the car/boat is still on. You have to do it may times for it to happen
Just tried rebinding. Same thing!
Is the receiver Waterproof?
no
Absima has the exact same Radio lol
Yes, Absima has more rebranded things including whole vehicles but always way more expensive than the original
