I'm looking for a good radio, but cannot spend a lot of money right now. My daughter is getting married and all of you who have been in the situation understand that. I saw this on fleebay and need your honest opinion. It is good for the price? Good range? Wasting time and money?


Should I keep my eyes open for something better?


Thank you.

Most people when they go with flysky radios entry level go with the FS-GT3 B. I have the GT3B and have had no issue so far. Yet again I can't say that I trust it completely.

Thay being said everyone will recommend a futaba radio for the outmost reliability. The 3PL is $114.99 at DDM

Futaba 3PL at A-Main = $104.99

Thanks on the Futaba 3pl.

I looked up the fly sky gt3b but, I saw the gt3c was rechargeable and lightweight.

Now, how good is the futaba 3pl range?

How many channel does the 3PL actually have, 3 or 4? Some sites list it as 3 channels, others as 4, others as 3 proportional and one on/off. If so, can the kill switch be installed on channel 4? I have some more things coming on the car and I'm gonna need the 3rd proportional channel for something else.

Thanks for the video.

Features

3 proportional channels plus 1 switched, non-proportional channel.

I think you can use the 4th channel as a switch, which will work with the kill switch. I will have to dig out my 3PL and see if it works like that.

 

[robygon]

What kill switch do you recommend for that radio, tne Ramtech or the super bee?

 

[RampageHopUps]

I recommend the Ramtech with Futaba radios. But I'm biased towards my Kill Switches.

But I'm biased towards my Kill Switches.

Yea I bet you are!!!!

 

[robygon]

Lol! Understood. But I only heard good things about it.

Went to the store to pick one up, but is out of stock.

when the new ones arrive?

Quick question: where is the best place to buy the futaba 3pl?

 

[RampageHopUps]

LargeScaleRC may have a few kill switches left.

Amain and tower hobbies have the 3Pl for 105.

 

[robygon]

Good deal, thanks.

End up buying the futaba at amain.com and casually had a 10% coupon and end up paying $94.50. A great deal. Couldn't find the kill switch, out of stock.

Thanks
