Default Radio Link

So I just stumbled on to this brand nice price, but is it compared to the fly sky stuff?

It comparable if not better to the flysky products. Uses a frequency hopping connection so as I understand it's less likely to glitch.

I've had two and still use one as my basher radio. I didn't like the feel for racing and although adding springs to the trigger helped the steering can't be tighter up any more.

Radiolink has been far better for me than FlySky, I still keep my Radiolink system around as a backup and loaner system. I've sold all my FlySky systems which all had a myriad of problems with them.

There is even a new release from Radiolink which has tons of new features as well:

Better than Flysky but a tin can and string would count as that also...

Still not a Futaba, Sanwa, KO.

Radiolink is very capable, I've won many races with it in sportsman classes when I first got started racing on a budget. All advertised features worked perfectly fine for me except you can't run the Tx on 4S. I raced back to back between the Radiolink and a Radiopost TS401 and the Radiolink was within 1% consistency and offered the exact same fast lap time. The main features lacking are adjustable ergos, simple as that.

Over the past year and a half, I've been slowly switching over to RadioLink in my (bashing only) RCs. I have been using FlySky FS-GT3C transmitters for many years, and finding they were hit and miss with short term use. The price/features of the RadioLink RC3S was major selling point for me. Definitely a step up in quality from FlySky, but not quite at same level of quality as my Futaba radio(s) I have and/or had.

I did the radio shell game going from racing with a radiolink to a mx-v to a mt-4......had I known that I was going to get as far into racing as I have i would of just bought a m12! Ergonomics and the feel are huge to me at least in racing...the radiolink just doesn't have that.

But now I have a great basher radiolink radio that works great, a backup mx-v if needed for racing, and my mt-4.
