Strikar no issues wit you or anyone on here I meant he said Amazon was charging 50 for shipping on the GT3 so that's why I posted that

? vs ?... ?

I run the futaba 4pm... but I use it for 4 separate vehicles. No more different radio for different vehicle.

Highly recommend it.

this is y u buy the gt3B if on a budget?...much better then the C set up?...imo of course. I've ran x B's here for years?

You need to do the hack to the c model, plus lipo battery amd a switching power supply.

 

[evssv]

all i did on my 2x b's is lipo mod...job done ?

 

[Basher5iveT420]

I never knew about the hack on the battery for the Flysky, is it easy to do?
What battery did you use ??

I installed a life battery on my Futaba 4pv... it was super easy ??‍Basically removed the old battery box and plug in the New life battery, DONE ???

 

[evssv]

i used small turnigy lipos in mine?

 

[Seandonato73]

The hack is the programming for the radio. The battery is easy, it's just the regulator in the b series isnt the best. It's a resistor style not a switching style.

 

[evssv]

i only changed to the lipo..didn't fit any regulator?

 

[Seandonato73]

Its just one of the differences between the b and c model. The resistor style in the b model just makes heat to reduce the voltage, so it "burns" up about half the battery life just making heat to reduce the voltage, where the c model using a switching power supply doesn't take tons of power to step down the voltage.

nice conversation going here... I guess I stirred the pot a bit
I got the GT3C next day delivery... its in the rig already
I wanted something under $100 all in. I have 2 rigs, one for me and one for my boy, so that is why I wanted the second unit. I already had one GT3C which has worked perfectly for me. Stick to what you know.
The GT5 looks good, but in the end its probably more radio than what I need. We usually run on an open field with clear line of sight... never had an issue with the FS GT3C.
I kept reading here people having issues with Spektrum and killer Bee... so that was a no go for me...
I agree tho... If it was only me running a couple rigs, I would love a Futaba... but $300 to $500 is hard to justify with my CFO (wifey)... budgets exist for a reason
As it is we get out a couple times a month for an hour or so, so no need to break the bank.
I would also go for the Noble... looks pretty slick

I have the GT3B ,I had never had range issues with it ,still get out to at least a 150 yards ,as my old AM 27 radio system still does but it
just wasnt feasible to by new crystals for them when I can convert to the 2.4 system for a few dollars more!

The only complaint that I have with the GT3 is that the throttle trigger is weak an broke ,currently not using the transmitter
until I fix it ,but was able to re bind the receivers to the original KM transmitter from my Baja!
