With my experience with Fly Sky, I wouldn't be so excited. There notorious to have a ton of issues at my local track.

I have one on order from ebay, which was the least expensive one I found. Too bad the post for myrcmart came after I ordered. Can't read what isn't there!

For those that ordered one, please set it up, use it, and look at all the adjustments/setting, and options and post what you like and dont like. Some people may like something, that another doesn't and vise versa.

after seeing this radio all over the web to me i think it's the same as the older 2.4 just moded so you can run all those add on sensor features I bet it's response is no faster at all.

A friend of mine told me that on one of the crawler sites somebody did some latency testing with some digital equipment but i cant find the thread.

5MS response time...I don't think that's true i don't trust it..

Few days ago I posted some questions to Flysky and now received the answers. Some very interesting and should be verified. Here it is, question followed by answer:
1) Is the AFHDS2 compatible with AFHDS? Will the iT4 work with older Flysky receivers?
- FS-iT4 used new system can't compatible with old one.
2) What is the framerate of iT4 - standard 20 ms or faster?
- The frame rate is 5ms (200Hz).
3) Will the telemetry sensors be sold separatelly?
- Yes.
4) Can the iT4 be connected to PC computer to store the settings, model memories, etc.?
- No, it can't.
5) Is it an Android based system?
- No.

It would be good to check the older Flysky receiver compatibility. Quite bad news, if it is not really compatible. But if the new receiver is sold around 20 bucks, we can live with it.
Interesting is the 5ms framerate (if it is true...).
Pitty for the no-coop with the PC, that would be a good feature.

Good news about the receiver is it looks like it was built to take 2s lipo. One concern I see though from the video is the steering wheel. I hope you can lock it in place. I can imagine after time that becoming loosing and flopping all over the place.

received mine today from hobbypartz, for $149.99 it comes with the receiver and all the telemetry modules. I also ordered a couple extra receivers, for $11 a piece you can't go wrong there. Hope to have time tonight to get it installed in at least one vehicle

I know me also,
After I sold my 3PKS for a speky I about shot myself. The futaba is so much smoother. I just hated spending that much on RX's.
If this radio can even equal a DSM1 I will try it on my race rigs

I downloaded the manual to get a head start on the features of this system. And I realized today that there's no mention of dual rates. Surely they put dual rates in this radio. All of the others have it, including the GT2. If someone that has theirs can look to see if it's in there, that would be great.

yes, there is steering expo. The "dual rates" term is actually for aircraft where you can flip a switch and have different rates on control surfaces

someone posted that the latency is 5ms. Just setting mine up tonight and I didn't notice any lag at all. The reciever takes up a bit more space than what I'm used to, hopefully they come out with just regular 2 channel ones to cut down on the size, I really don't need 4 channels
