I would love to see another video of this radio once you have it setup with your TRX-4. Would be curious to see which switches you used for each function and get your opinions on using it for crawlers.

Id like to see that also. I hate being tied to the traxxas radio.

Just didn't see 200 bux in upgrades. Might just be that I don't have a use for so many channels right now. Has a new sleek look with the screen, and ambidextrous wheel. Will be watching for future videos coming up soon as you go deeper into all the things it has to offer. As always, great video and keep them coming!!

Ok you win I can’t wait to get one now 😊

The overall design of the Tx looks EXTREMELY similar to the Futaba 7PX. Obviously, the power button is different (and in a different location), and there are no other buttons below the screen (like on the 7PX)...but, when you look at the other buttons/switches/dials, they not only look almost identical to those on the 7PX, but are in the same location. Even switching the wheel, from right to left side, is done almost identically to how it's done on the 7PX. So far, it looks good. When I first heard about it, I became interested...not for general & racing RC use (for that, I have my 7PX, and Noble NB4), but for speedrun cars (which I'm just getting into, having purchased a Limitless V2). Speaking of which, something you didn't cover...or, even mention...is the ability to attach a TBS Crossfire. The reason I mention it is, Radiolink mentions it on the website, and even shows a photo of the Tx with a Crossfire unit attached...but, there is NOTHING in the manual about it - nothing mentioned about setting it up within the Tx settings, nothing about how to attach the Crossfire unit to the front of the RC8X, nothing about connecting wires to power the Crossfire...literally, nothing. Speedrunners who want/need the extreme distance will love that the RC8X has a DSC port for adding a Crossfire...but, if they don't cover anything about it in the manual, how's anyone supposed to know how to properly configure its use with the RC8X?

I've been waiting for this to be released but wanted to know if it would live up to the hype. With the Noble, Flysky hit a home run, offering a radio loaded with features, at a fraction of the cost of competitor's radios. However, when they updated it to the Pro, the price went through the roof and pitted it against the likes of Futaba and Sanwa. A serious mistake if you ask me (just didn't make sense). This, however, is a whole different story. I mean, a touch screen radio with features that rival the best radios in the industry and at a FRACTION of the cost! Excellent fit and finish, touchscreen, just about every feature you could imagine. This could be a game changer! 👍

I have been looking for a new Radio that has plenty of features including a gyro but wanted something nice not a Dumbo. I originally looked at a DX5C or Pro but they are a little pricy but this Radiolink radio looks amazing it's a like a 7PX or 7PXR but at a fraction of the cost both radio itself and receivers. Does anyone recommend this radio? if so i might buy one and receivers for most of my cars.

Thanks! Do you know what the range is for the gt5?

15 or more channel of this gun type would be nice for rc truck.have to stick with joystick type.i am also going to build some battle bots that require two remote/transmitter.i hope one day radiolink would consider release that kind of remote

what are some good batteries for this model that doesnt make you modify the controller

How good and better is this one compate to flysky nb4 pro?

I have a Radiolink RC6GS which has a really clunky UI and lacking a lot of features. I also have a Spektrum DX5 Pro which is very nice except for their WAY over priced RX's. I got kinda excited when I saw the RC8X because I was thinking we're finally getting a fully featured radio system for an affordable price and fairly priced RX's. Then I saw the price. And here I thought my DX5 Pro was over priced. At what Radiolink wants for this thing, I think I'll stick with my DX5.
