The FSGT3-B has a built in fail safe. It is also compatible with the Killer RC killer bee.

The FS-GT3b does have a fail safe. The killer bee is a kill switch and not a fail safe.

Yes diffidently use a kill switch!!!!

Yes its made by the same company but more then likely its the radio that's bad and not the receiver. The stock radio I have never used but I have heard on the forum many times of that radio going bad and they have to switch them out. If you do a Google search of the gt3b there are many great reviews and many positives that has been stated on this forum.

There all the same. Even the FSGT3-B is the same. It just has a 3rd channel, lol. I have it and it glitches.

The FSGT3B is great. I haven't had a glitch yet. There are more than enough reviews to back it up. I have a Spektrum. That POS would lose signal 100 feet out regardless of the receiver, vehicle, or location. Futaba, spent a lot on the radio then the extra receiver.

Best thing to do if you are unsure about it. Buy a $200 Futaba. Use it. Get another large scale, put in an $80 Futaba receiver for your second large scale. By the time I got to my third, I said screw it, read a ton of reviews and figured, the most I'd lose is $35 and maybe a runaway vehicle. Then I'd just spend another $80 on another Futaba receiver.

The kill switch will activate if it looses signal, if you shut off the tx(loosing signal) or you can run it off a third channel instead of shutting off your tx. If you have it on a third channel you can shut down the engine and still have steering and breaks.

Here is what I bought.

I don't think you will be disappointed!!!!!!

 

[gobigorgohome]

does ne one use this controller for more than one car if so how does that work do i jus bind it with all the recievers?

 

[Guest]

You will need to get enough flysky receivers for all your cars. Then you will bind each car.

 

[gobigorgohome]
