Coming back to this. Has anyone had issues? Signal dropping / loss, cutouts, freezing, and range is super low? Had issues since September and they haven't fixed anything. I am on their FB group and multiple people have this same issue. It is on ALL firmwares. I tested the following. 1.1.8, 1.2.0, 1.1.5, and 1.2.5. Same issues with both FHSS V1 and V2 modes. And same issues across ALL receivers. I tested the following. R8FG V2.0, R4FGM V1.1, and multiple R6FG V4 and V5 receivers. Getting ready to sell it and I am looking into the new NB4+ from flysky. Just wanted to know how many/much people have ran into these issues.
Mostly indoor offroad racing and outdoor bashing.
Setups in my cars
B74.1: R8FG V2.0 receiver. Dual antenna wires. each antenna is wrapped up. One is pointing up and taped down near my battery. The other is pointing down and taped near my servo. Had the same results with a Hobbywing XR10 Pro Legacy and a new XR10 Stock Spec G2 100A. Xpert 4000LV servo, ProTek HV fan. Mylaps transponder. BEC running at 6V. Will also be shortly running a protek glitch buster just to see if it solves any browning out issues.
Mini B: R4FGM V1.1. BEC running 6V. Amazon King Val esc. Savox micro servo.
Rustler: De-cased R6FG V4. BEC running 6V. Traxxas 2075R servo. Hobbywing Max10 G1 ESC. (antenna wrapped up in rx box)
Slash: R6FG V4 (or V5, can't remember) BEC Running 6V. Amazon 20kg servo. Hobbywing Max10 SCT esc. (antenna wrapped up in rx box)
My uncle says to go with Futaba. I agree with that. Futaba is a name brand. Reliable and been around for so long. If I go that route, most likely with a 4PM Plus. But my only reason with going with the flysky is because of the interface. Its more modern. And receivers are antenna less and reasonable price. Futaba receivers from what I seen are around 60 to 100 bucks. (He has a older 7PX, he won't let me touch it lol)
