Fs-gt5 Manual

[Sebastian Thorndike]

Cananyone confirm whether or not the GT5 will bind reliably with the fs-ia6 receiver? The manual says yes but there seem to be mixed opinions online with no actual evidence either way. From what I've read and understand, they'll bind with the Flysky version of the IA6 (fs-ia6) but not the Turnigy version (TGY-ia6) which is supposedly the same thing?!

It is indeed AFHDS2 and SHOULD bind with Flysky AFHDS2 receivers including the IA6B, but it seems that in practice some people are having issues. I'd just like to know 100% before I go ordering a bunch of receivers.

Just a few moments ago I just paired AFHDS 2A to my radio to my delite. Now I can use some of my less expensive Tamiyas with my GT5. The AFHDS did NOT pair with my GT5 though, which is unfortunate since I had a GT3C with 10 cars attached to it.

Are you really looking into channel mixing feature, or just need to have a way to do a 4ws? If its the latter, can you just not use a y-cable and use the same channel for both front and rear? I know that's what the others are doing...

I have a konghead with channel mixing on my KO propo. I found it useful as the truck wants to roll too easily at speed with 4WS, so being able to reduce rear steer compared with front is helpful. On mine you can actually turn the rear wheel steering on or off too (on transmitter) so you can have it on for slow speed stuff then flick it on to front wheel steering only when you want to go fast. So yes the features are very useful if you can find similar in a cheaper radio.

For a non-racer and infrequent backyard bashing, I've had good results using my RC4 which is now about 6/7 years old. I am about to get a Dynahead and I also plan on using a 4WS. While my Radiolink only carries 4ch, it does have channel mixing so I would try and see it that would suffice...

If you mean me? you can choose to have some of the buttons do a certain function. So I could change the setting to let a button 'ET1' on my KO Propo change the 4WS effect between 4WS or front wheel steer. I might do a video on it for other KO Propo owners as their manuals are hard to work out sometimes.

If you are referring to me, I just tried it today in my RC4G. Although it does not have a dedicated crawl function, I was able to connect two servo on two channels (RC4G has four). I used the channel mixing feature. Connected the second servo to Ch3 and set it to slave to my steering channel. In my Tx I can set the channels to either be set variably or switched. I would have preferred that the second servo can be turned on/off, but that's my radios limitation. Nevertheless, at least I know now that I can utilize my radio gear if i needed 4ws. But if you are looking for crawler function where you can automatically set the rear servo on/off/crab, best to buy the RC6G or the FlySky...or the more expensive radio from Futaba or Sanwa... or as mentioned, simply use a Y-cable.

RX is the receiver = the small box where you attach to the chassis of the car and where you plug your esc and servo and other stuff depending on how many channels you have. In tour case, you have 6 slots (6ch).

Watch this video. It give the basic setup for mixing your steering channel and I think he used channel 5. Do you want your rear to steer all the time, or only when you toggle the switch? If you want it to steer all the time, the video will show you that. If you want only on-demand on/off, you will need to set the specific channel of that servo you connect it to as such. Have you read the manual of your radio gear?

I quickly glanced over the manual I saw online... so if you just need to steer all the time, you can follow the video on youtube via mixing. If you want your rear steer to be switched (left/right/off), you need to use channel 6 and you can use the right toggle switch to control the rear steering... does it makes sense?

My Konghead is fast (for a Konghead!), so 4WS is usually off, but when I'm horsing around, the rear steer is about 30%, which gives super tight steering and fair stability with no tire rub. With 4WS, the rear servo has to be a good one to keep the rear tires straight and under control. Weak or poor centering servos take all of the fun out of it; so does too much rear steer.

I use a 4PX currently (got a great deal when the 7PX came out), and have used the 4PL and 4PLS with a great deal of success, too. The 4PV is great to setup; the 3PV, not so much. At the price point of the 3PV, I'd get a Spektrum DX5C, which has many more features at about the same price. A good used Futaba will last you forever, though, and the quality and ergonomics are superb. Every time I try something different, I end up selling it and getting a Futaba. I've spoiled myself over the years, I guess. Good radio equipment and electronics make the cars so much more enjoyable to me, even on light runners and "fun" models. Let's you experience the car, not the radio, ya know?

Flysky FS-GT5 is a 6 channel rc car transmitter (and FS-BS6 receiver) uses 2.4gHz reliable AFDHS2a protocol. Beyond throttle and steering there are 4 extra channels allow user to run practically any auxiliary item with mixers also available for crawler steering and the like. Full gyro control via remote and a very easy to navigate GUI. NTN semi-permeable, segment screen, VA52.5 * 34mm LCD Screen white HD and noble display. Fit most RC car/ boat/ trucks

Specification:

Flysky GT5 F.SAFE Out of Control Protection - Through set out of control output value, you can set Multiple Channels Out of Control Protection, make the remote controller mode smooth and steady stop when accidentally disconnected

ABS function (automatic brake): This function only adjusts the throttle channel, including six kinds of parameter settings, automatic brake settings to adapt to different models of track, to achieve the best braking effect and cornering control effect.

Rc Crawler Truck CRAWL function (climbing car mode), SVC function (smart car control mode), gyro stability function.4 Climbing Mode - With 4 Climbing Mode, revolutionary control optimization for climbing cars, easier handling, more freedom to distribute functions

Flysky GT5 remote controller can store 20 models, each model can set the parameters separately, but also can write the model name easy to remember. Keep all cars specific trims and End Point Adjustment (EPA) setting data to avoid massive immigrating data from other radio transmitters.

I first saw this radio on YouTube. The guy was very excited about the settings, how good it was. When my steering on rtr got crappy I revisited the video, and decided to give this one a try. Happy I did

As the title says an affordable 6 Channel system with a lot of options for customization. The transmitter is well designed from the folding antenna. the option to use different batteries using the jst connector, the rubber grip and foam steering and the nice big well lit or should I say back lit screen. Unfortunately, the receiver that came with the radio was a dud. It wouldn't activate my new 9g servos but thankfully I got a second receiver with my initial order so I was able to play around with the available options on the transmitter. Plus it's very easy to program even w/o the manual. Plus it's nice to be able to store multiple cars/trucks in one transmitter.

Package was a little beat up but item was fine. This transmitter is awsome, at least for me because I'm cheap. The controls for a four wheel steer with lights or winches are outstanding for the price. The only complaint I come up with is the instruction manual is about worthless, so it took a little time and videos to figure out.

Best radio money can buy for the price ! Put receivers in both my boats and had incredible range ! I would definitely recommend these items ! Thank you hobbymatehobby for great service and great response !
