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

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

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 ???

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.

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!
