just picked this up tonight, i have heard nothing but good things about them, was on sale for 35, i bought an extra rx for 8 great deal, hope it works as good as everyone says it does.

I have not yet picked one of these up yet but my gt2 has worked flawlessly for over a year. I have had one rx crap out on me but it could be a few reasons for this not related to the quality, water, dirt, I busted the case up at one point taking it out of a car, it could havebeen one of those. A couple people I race with have the gt3b and they said the trigger is really fragile and breaks easy and the screen is almost impossible to see in the daytime.

I dont see the trigger breaking unless someone get really excited on take off, and any lcd screen will be hard to see in sunlight.

They have LOTS of good reviews, plus, for the comp crawler guys, these can be modded/hacked to mix dual esc's!

The part of the trigger that I have heard about is the tip you use for reverse. And just an update on my issue I found out the problem was the transmitter not the radio. Why it only affected the one car I ont have an answer for but today I was messing with it and noticed when I wiggled the antenna on the tx the light on the rx would flicker. I had broke this antenna off in the past and had to put a new pin it it where it bends and I damaged the wire driving the new pin in. So my issue was my own fault not related to the quality of flysky in any way. Great radios in my book.

UPDATE!!!!

Installed the flysky into my savage, I have never done this, but the Binding was so simple, and everything worked with no problems, i havent run it yet (still waiting on shocks to arrive) but if everything else goes as well as the install and servo test then ill be in high cotton by the weekend......

Hobby King 2.4ghz Gt2 3 channel radios will bind to the flysky transmitters as well in case no one else knew that. Not real useful info but with the stocking issues hobbypartz has at least flysky users have an alternative if they should rn out again. Shipping takes about a week longer for me compared to hobbypartz and shipping cost is about the same and th radios are $1 cheaper.

Yea i ordered some stuff from hobby king and it took 28 days for it to arrive at my house.........i wouldn't order a Q-tip from them if i need to clean my ears.

28 days is a long time, even from hong kong. I have always had my stuff in about 14 days or less, not bad considering it usually takes 7 days to get stuff from hobbypartz which is here in the states. I prefer hobbypartz but the servos I wanted were out of stock so I had to get some from hobbyking and was curious about the radios.

My Flysky FS-GT3B is great very easy to program , took about 15 min to in stall in to each truck the fail safe works very well ,as for not seeing the LCD in the sun it has buttons for trim and just shade it when you need to switch to anouther model
