2.4GHz is the standard of new generation radio system because it has a lot of advantages. Operating at 2.4 GHz puts the radio control out of the frequency range of any 'noise' generated by the other electronic components on your helicopter - such as the brushless motor, Electronic speed controller, Servos and any metal to metal noise - eliminating interference and glitching that can affect traditional frequency system.

There is huge discussion of this radio over at rctech.net - just google for gt3b and you'll see it.

I bought one of these. It's not bad. Remember it's only $60! It works, there are a few kinks with the firmware/programming, some users complain about not being able to see the screen in daylight, and lack of broad steering trim adjustment - but that's it really. It performs really well. If you want a radio with better (and more) adjustments, look at the Flysky Gt3 (not the "b" version) - This is also sold under different brands; Eurgle, Hobbyking. I have one of these also and it's less sleek, but more functional. More programming options, and works really well. With both of them, it's easy and very cost-effective to outfit your whole fleet with it. Receivers are only $6!

I use the Eurgle version of the Gt3 for all my shelf queens, except the vintage ones where I have vintage gear for most.

Never had a problem but never ran it much, but the ultra cheap receivers did it for me.

I also gave a set to my 12 year old nephew who's been using it with his DF-02 for a couple of years. Lots of use and abuse and still working fine.

But at that price your mileage will vary.

I have a GT3B which i'm am using racing with my M05pro, so far it's been good. I currently have it setup in my offroad bashers and my childrens cars as I got the basic GT2 for them as well. I now have 8 receivers, at $12 each they are a bargain. So far for bashing and just mucking around with the kids these systems have worked fine. They do not feel as good a quality as my Sanwa units but for the price thats to be expected. If the GT3B goes ok racing in my M05 then I will give it ago in my touring cars as well.

I'm considering building a full cheap chinese setup tourer to race and see how it will go. This will consist of the new Sakura Zero S, Hobbywing Xerun 17.5 system, Yeah racing lipo's and the Flysky GT3B radio. I think this will make a competitive club racer for around $400 - $500 fully setup.

The GT3B seems to be good value for racers on a budget and if not racing why pay $300 for a system when $60 does the job just fine.

Eurgle sells for $38 @ R2

They work. Feels very plasticky and cheap, but they work ok.

The first batch had some firmware issues but should be fixed by now.

Odd for a 2.4 it needs 8x AAs thus heavier than others that need only 4x AAs.

Screen looks huge but its a printed LCD not a dot matrix, its like a giant wristwatch display.

Viewing angle is inconvenient right at the top, not as easy to read as Spektrum DX3S/R format

but your pitcrew can probably read it from the other side of the track :unsure:

I recently got to play with a FS-3GTB. The thing just feels cheaper than it should, even for the price. IMHO they gave up too much for the big LCD screen which in many ways is a step back from what they had on the FS-3GT. The screen is nothing like what you get with a Spektrum, Airtronics, or Futaba radio (which admittedly would cost several times as much.)

Given the choice, I'll stick with the FS-3GT for my bashers and seldom run toy cars.

There's currently what looks to be the best deal in the history of ever on the Bay in the form of: FS-GT3B 3ch 2.4GHz Transmitter Receiver with Fail Safe Function. has anyone even heard of these?

The things work as an alternative to my Futaba for the vintage and seldom run toys. I had put a small fortune into R603Fx receivers for stuff that was seldom run, started switching them to old 27MHz sets salvaged from various auction purchases, and then discovered the FlySky series of radios. Overall I've been more than happy with the things.

I started the experiment with a FS-GT2, got a FS-GT3 after deciding it would be worth taking the chance, and then a FS-GT3B after running out of memory slots on the GT3. Personally I think the GT3 is the one that has the most features but is a royal PITA to program, the GT2 has the best performance, but the GT3B would be the one to buy since it's the easiest to use. Keep in mind the LCD for the GT3B is more on par with a digital watch than the full matrix screen on a Futaba or Spektrum.

I haven't had a problem with any of them although I have to admit I really don't use them that much. I see a few people at the track with GT2 sets in their SCT's and don't see them having any problems.

HobbyKing sets are rebranded FlySky radios.

Iv got the hobbyking version, no complaints whatsoever. The TX build quality is no worse than the acoms techiplus, it's reliable and fairly easy to programme. The RX is very small and cheap as chips price wise.

Bought three extra rx units when I bought mine, wish I'd got ten now!

I bought mine along with other items like batteries, brushless motor etc but in the end the tx and the extra rx units cost about the same as a sinle acoms 27mhz rx !

Ansmann sell the same unit in the uk, typical retail is £65

There is a great thread about these radios over at the rctech.net forums. Members there have figured out how to reprogram the firmware to extend its capability and correct some flaws in the original set-up. I have one of the earlier GT3 radios, but will probably get one of these in the near future and give it a whirl.

Have you got a link to the actual thread? :)
