Thanks so much for this! Now I'm thinking about throwing the receiver in some of the awd drifters like my little 18th scale hoonicorn and that 1/18 wl drift truck.
@@RoadsideRC haven't even tried it! I wouldn't say any of them "drift" well. More like slide a little longer before losing traction. It was going to be a science experiment that may never come to fruition.
If my old fly sky It4s ever dies, I'll definitely be grabbing one of these. I haven't seen many people mess with the telemetry options/displays. That was the only reason I bought a touch screen radio. I really prefer to have battery voltage and motor temperature live on my screen. Saved me a lot of $ when testing gearing my big offroad rigs and saves a long walk of low voltage shame 😂
As far as going from 14ms (analog) to 4ms (digital), the biggest thing I found with my Yokomo servo is that it recenters the wheels more accurately. Forna while I thiught it was just slop, but turns out it was mostly that it wasn't running digitally.
If you were to plug in a dedicated gyro, does the installed reciever with gyro turned off interefere at all. Thinking of purchasing but have a gyro, just want new rx/tx. Thank you
Hello! Works like a champ! Just turn off the receiver gyro and it passes through without an issue. I am actually using this controller on my Team Associated DC10 build right now.
How would you say it compares to the gyro that came with the RDS? I use the internal gyro from my rc6gs on a 3d printed RWD chassis and i feel like it drives better than my RDS ever has, which has confused me for quite a long time. Many people have told me the factory redcat gyro is meh, so i was looking for your opinion on them.
The factory RDS gyro is a solid performer - mid-level gyro. It is GREAT for a factory gyro, but certainly there are better ones on the market for an upgrade. This built-in gyro is NOT better. To get your RDS driving better, work on the front suspension alignment (I have a separate video on that, if you are interested). I have a RTR RDS with only a controller upgrade - and it hangs with most folks at our track.
@RoadsideRC I started following your videos about the RDS shortly before our local track closed so i never got around to doing your setup, I appreciate taking the time to reply! Love the work keep it up!
@@RoadsideRCnow that my car is so upgraded I notice my remote is tremendously holding me back. I have a sanwa m6 and the steering response is terrible. You have to steer the car more then you normally should because the delay from the remote
@@mattparker510 I would suggest trying to find someone near you and getting your hands on them personally. That will be the best way for you to determine it.
That is fairly common when setting something up like this. All of the different manufacturers orient things differently. That is why we have that feature!
@k1ortia The Flysky Noble is REALLY nice. The user interface on this controller is slightly nicer, but the fit/finish and materials in the Noble are top-notch! I would lean towards the Noble.
Great radio, looks to have some great benefits to it!!!
It does!
I will say this that actually looks better than all the cheap gyros i hwve seen u test lol now we need to see if it can transition quick
You are right!! It is rather decent!
I am curious to take it to a track and see how it does.

Have you found a gyro to help AWD? For me, it really disrupts an AWD drift - they just don't need a gyro.

@@1sickgsx I'll be curious what you think!

Thanks for the tip! Maybe I will mess with that more and see how to set it up on here. I know they claim to have capability for all of that.
Flysky makes some great stuff I have several RC6GS radios love them
I'm still blown away by my Old Fly Sky FS GT 3B! Not sure I can Handle this kind of sophistication, with or without Gyro!
You've got it! The user interface is easy enough!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
ever thought of reviewing chassis like the ReveD RDX or the MD 2.0?
Of course!
Might work well for a mini build.
Good point!

How was the servo wobble at 100% gain! Looks like great starter radio.
It really didn't have any. I'm guessing it was just not super sensitive.
How much better would you say the delay is compaired to sanwa mx6
Hard to say - I haven't tested them directly back to back.
@@RoadsideRC how well would you say the response is compared to the two just by using them? Or how would you say this is compared to the noble

For controllers, no matter what, my theory is get the best radio you can afford
Makes sense to me!
Do both of the versions of transmitters have gyro?
The gyro is all about the receiver - so as long as it has that receiver, it will.
What wheels are those
Hi there! They are these wheels: bit.ly/3GHo59q
I tested a lot of wheels, and found these to be the lightest weight = best performance.
@RoadsideRC cool ty man. The truck looks awesome what model is it?
Hi, Did you figure out why you had to reverse your channel to get the right direction?
That is fairly common when setting something up like this. All of the different manufacturers orient things differently. That is why we have that feature!
@RoadsideRC I have a similar problem with my new rc8x. The trigger is working in reverse.
Anywayz thnx for the advice.
Happy New Year, buddy..🙂
@razajiwani2272 That is also normal and not really a "problem". It is part of typical setup.
How do you charge it?
I use my standard battery charger for it. Just use this adapter: amzn.to/48MUFDk
@RoadsideRC ok thanks because i had a problem were i couldnt charge it thank you
This or the new Radiomaster 3 channel Transmitter...🤔
Really hard to compare. This controller costs DOUBLE the Radiomaster price...
@@RoadsideRC Yes i suppose that's true. How about the Flysky noble. ? Iv heard that's a pretty good controller for the money.

@@RoadsideRC Thank you for your reply brother, form here in the UK. got myself a drift chassis to learn, and it's still on the shelf.
@@k1ortia Time to get practicing!!!
interesting test seems a great upgrade
*🥸full viewed start to finish💯Au👍like for you 🎅🦘*
Thanks Billy!
