FlySky GT3B RX on 2S LiPo ?

[Kaz the Minotaur]

Does anyone run the FlySky GT3B RX direct on 2S LiPo? Any issues?

 

[Guest]

I did. No issues. Most of the receivers can handle a 2S.

I do too works without issues

Did you guys power the servos direct or through the RX?

 

[Guest]

I power mine direct.

I power mine through the receiver just easier, plus it eliminates extra wiring in the smallish battery box

If you use Y splitters, it will fill the box with spaghetti.

I use KillerRCs micro splitter and cut all my wires to length an reinstall the plugs.

Is the FlySky GT3B worth buying or would you guys recommend a another transmitter and receiver?

 

[Motakitty]

I've had mine for over a year and I still wish I had gotten it sooner. I think it's a great remote. I convinced my brother to get the gt3c (almost same remote) and ditch his spektrum

 

[Stygian]

I like this one too http://www.davesmotors.com/ht154

so I'm not to sure which one I want to get. Which one is better gt3c or gt3b

 

[Motakitty]

Futabas are nice but kinda pricey. Both gt3b and c are the same inside but the c does come stock with a lipo where as the b you have to mod to accept a 3s lipo, easy to do. You can hack both of them to gain sub trims, up to 8 channels, 4ws, dig mainly for crawlers. But having held both of them the c does feel like a better remote out of the box, where as the b you can do a couple mods to it and it feels like a high end remote. I think you would be happy with either one

 

[Motakitty]

Oh plus theyre cheap and the rxs are only like $10

 

[Guest]

The Flysky radios are the best bang for the buck.

The Futaba radios are awesome, one of the best brands IMO.

Thanks guys, I really like the look of the futaba better but I like the big led screen on top of the flysky I just hate how the flyskys wheel is attached.

I know there out of stock most place, but have you checked out the Flysky IT4?

Nope, googling it now.

 

[Stygian]

Just looked, those are nice too and it would go great with the color I'm going to do the body on the xb but I don't like how flyskys wheels hang on the controller themself.

 

[Guest]

Yeah, that's personal preference. A lot of the new transmitters are like that. Some are even hinged and adjustable. It can be more comfortable for some to use if you can separate your hands more.

 

[Motakitty]

At first I didn't like where the wheel is either but I find it more comfortable but it's up to you

 

[Stygian]

oh I'm sure it's comfortable I dunno I might pick one up and I might end up loving it who knows I have also thought about trying out one of my traxxas ones they are really nice too.
