Hence why I created this thread to show off and get the issues known and out there: Since i can't put it into my own words. lol:

Fixed ;)

I call it Unlink now because that is what their products do!

Among other things lol.. It’d be like hearing about every Pontiac Fiero burning to the ground, and then going out to buy one (and bragging on that 🙄🤣) “because they’re super inexpensive!!!”… People gotta know when to call it, and stop betting on a lame horse.. Glad you keep updating-so people with two or three brain cells left rattling around in their melon will buy a transmitter that won’t run them TF outta the hobby.. 😎

I agree with this summary from Ai, As you may know i bought an RC8X almost 2 years ago but ended selling it after over a year of use due to glitches with it's subpar hardware and firmware. I ended switching to Spektrum with my DX6C in October 2024 and i have had very little to no issues with it and have been impressed and the same was true for my previous radio before the DX6C and the RC8X. I had a Futaba T4PM since Spring 2021 and it also has been a great radio it never had issues as major as the RC8X did. As i've mentioned before Radiolink seems to waive all responsibility or Acknowledgment of any issues with their products that most other companies would have noticed and would be making changes to fix like Horizon Hobby\Spektrum, Futaba, Sanwa or Flysky since if they didn't it would harm consumer trust and most likely people wouldn't buy their products in the future.
 
That's cool, These radio look awesome although i've already made my move to Spektrum but i do enjoy looking at the NB4+ from time to time. Also that comment the nerve of some people, We all know Radiolink is a no name Chinese manufactured e-waste tx\rx brand and that anyone in the right mind if they have a Traxxas with a TQi or a Horizon, Arrma\Losi\Axial rtr with a Spektrum radio really should just keep their stock radio intact or buy an upgraded radio or buy an add on to their stock radio. and shouldn't bother buying from a company like Radiolink because you'll most likely end up instantly regretting it and wish you had just bought something higher end in the first place. Just my 2 cents and from both of our experiences.

Lets see what this guy says :rolleyes: 🤷‍♂️ 😬
I found your comment and i replied, The Radiounlink hysteria is still around and kicking more of these dumb Tube influencers keep falling for these no name china trash Tx's when they should have bought either a Radiomaster MT12 or a DX6C and added a range booster to it if they wanted a good long range budget radio.

The Radiomaster MT12 with ELRS has a range much, much farther than the Radiolink crap. One of the ELRS system tests was said to have a range of like 60 miles.
 
The lifelong vendetta against Radiolink thread is alive and well I see. :preachin::woot::woot:
It took a while, but thankfully FlySky took notes of their failures along the way :first_place: I never would have guessed it 🤯:cool::thumbs-up:
Yes unfortunately, It's still going on despite both me and @DavidB1126 sold our Radiounlink transmitters almost a year ago and replaced them with Futaba's, Flysky's and Spektrum's. We really need to let it go but it's hard to stop when more and more channels keep recommending that no name Chinese junk and claim it's better than any other brand.
