I like where Furitek is going w this. A SUGGESTION: Place the Rear Steer on a slider/dial next to left thumb so you can steer both front and rear independently at the same time. Active all the time. As opposed to having to be in a specific mode via a switch. Kinda like what you are doing w the GT5 but more ergonomic. In fact, you could move the rear steer dial/pot on your GT5 to a more accessible location. Also could mod a small tab on the dial as well, so you could move it w your thumb.
Yes! I totally agree. I just started running the flysky noble a lot for 4ws and it works great because it has a dial next to your thumb that holds the controller. I’m not a fan of switching modes for 4ws. Much rather run it on a dial and it be active all the time.
Oh hell yea ! Furitek , if they do this right, will take over the North American market for best upgrade for the SCX 24 !! Too bad it hasn't shipped in time for the holidays !!Happy thanksgiving, hope you get the family time in
Thats legit! Tbh- i have always felt like controllers were too big. I wouldnt mind running my favorite 24 and my trailwalker on the same micro controller. Furitek seems to be KILLING it!
I am waiting for a remote that has two steering wheels. The front steering would be the main (inner) wheel and the rear steering would be the bigger (outter) wheel. So...in another words it would be a steering wheel inside a steering wheel. It would have a way to quickly lock the two together for 4ws. Now, that will be an amazing remote.
It would depend on price and if they make the rear steer options easier to use. I need to upgrade my transmitter only for the rear steer. Can't center the rear on the stock transmitter
After a couple weeks, how do you feel about the proline hyrax? Debating on picking up a set, I hear they do pretty well but I run Patagonia’s now, not sure which is better. One tire might be strong where the other lacks? 🤷🏼♂️
Seem cool and like neat idea but with stuff like that I’d be worried about response times and precision. Even my gt3 is sht compared to better radios and this gives even cheaper feeling.
Yeah I’m not sure on specs just yet. I don’t worry too much about response time on these small crawlers. Not even a huge deal on 1/10s. Now race trucks it’s totally different. Pretty important on those imo
Hey Matt 👋 I just bought the FS-GT5 and know nothing about it lol . 😆 and I'm in the middle of another build. I'm going to use the reciver that came with it and a furitek ESC the new lizard 🦎 .... I'm hoping you could answer just a couple questions for me . 1st question, can I turn the lights on and off from the controller ? like I did with the stock scx24 controller. With that little circuit board and plugged into aux . If so how do I do it lol . And 2nd question how hard is it to sink up with furitek lizard 🦎? Please get back to me if you get this message. Thanks happy Thanksgiving just a little late .
You can turn the lights off and on if you have one of the switches from Amazon like I usually recommend. I always use the ch3 switch on the gt5 for that. It’s so easy to switch on and off at any point. You’ll plug the switch into ch3 on the receiver and the lights into the switch. It should be super easy to use with the lizard. Just like the stock setup I’d go calibrate it in the settings and then you should be set! Let me know if ya need anything else. I’ll try my best to help.
Matt thanks I just watched your video on it . 😀 so good , im exited about it . Thanks for getting back with me . I should have just looked first lol . But I did want to say hi . I'm up to 7 of these little crawlers now . All highly modified. I'm having so much fun with all the grandkids.
@@think2cre81 that’s so awesome!!! 7 of them?! Dang! I think I’m down around that now. I sold a few lol. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Keep me updated on how it goes.
@@2fmrc thanks! That’s the one I got too but someone on FB mentioned a 2CH for $10.00 each. I’ll stick with this one!! Can’t find the other one anyway and if these work for u they’ll damn sure work for me 😂 Thnx!
@@rjfromatl8071 yeah they have the micros that usually require a bit of soldering or crimping and are an open setup with no case. I just prefer the ones with the case. A bit larger but usually work just fine. And no soldering etc lol
I’ve been looking at this system lately along with the flysky stuff. How would you compare the furitek with the gt5? I’d like better throttle control than what my v1 system offers but I’m on the fence about spending $150 on a tx/rx if I a spend about $60 for something just as good. I don’t have anything set up with 4th…..yet anyway. That rc8x looks amazing but that’s not in the budget
Definitely recommend the flysky gt5 over this. Mine had some issues after a few short usages and i put it in a cabinet and haven’t touched it since. The gt5 is hard to beat. Especially with its micro receivers and overall price!
@@Js_junkyard yeah mine was a test model from Furitek and I let them know of the issues and they said that it wouldn’t be an issue on the production models but never sent me a new one to test so I can’t recommend it based on my experience with it.
To be honest with you idk. My toggle started glitching after about the 2nd use and they never sent me the final version of it so I pulled mine and have never ran it again.
@@2fmrc But the GMR is a micro receiver as the Furitek is - it is smaller than the FGr4s. AFHDS3 is the protocol, not the name of the receiver. The FGr4s receiver you use is awesome, but you told in the video, that the Furitek rx is smaller, micro. There are similar receivers available for the Noble, the Flysky GMR (I use those a lot) and DasMikro AFHDS3. However, FGr4s is fine, too, and easier to use for people who do not like wiring or crimping, since you can use the normal servo plug and do not have to change to JST ZH (1.5 mm) plugs.
@@donaldsneffe yeah I was really going by plug and play. I honestly don’t even like messing with wiring the micros myself. I figure if someone is running micros then they aren’t going to be going with this setup anyway more than likely. I personally just prefer a receiver with a case on it. I’m always breaking tabs off or something on these wide open parts with no case lol. My poor Tegus with no case are all beat up. Had to solder the battery connector back on twice to one of them and broke the corner off the board on another. I’m just too hard on stuff. It needs as much protection as it can get for me. I swap mine back and forth to my 1/10 stuff sometimes also and the fgr4s is just perfect for both cause I’m definitely not running the micro with no case in my 1/10s lol
@@2fmrc Not in 1/10, for sure not, but they are awesome in micros, Orlandoos, SCX24, others... However, the FGr4s is awesome, I really like it. For sure easier to use than the supermicros. If space is no problem, I also would use the FGr4s.
@@2fmrc The white RC4WD. I've had nothing but trouble with them. They are a terrible design and they aren't even true, which isn't surprising as they are stamped metal and not machined.
Channel 3 if you wanna use the 4ws settings in the menu to change modes. I like to run mine on channel 6 and use that knob to control my steering but it takes practice.
I love my noble. I just run the fgr4s with no antenna. Love that receiver. Small enough to be great in tight spots but still in a case and works really well
I’m not really a fan. Way too expensive for what it is. Mine had issues with the scroll knob after a few uses. I’d highly recommend a flysky gt5 and micro receivers over this. amzn.to/3vcyhBk
@@paultamasi6519 it’s a great size and has some good options to it but it’s way overpriced imo. I could see it being a very popular transmitter setup for $65-75 but at twice the price I just feel like there is better options.
I still use it. Mostly for my 1/10s. I mostly run the gt5 with the micro receivers on my 1/24s. Shortly after testing this transmitter out it started having issues. I’ve never really used it much. I recently got the Radiolink rc8x and really liking it. The noble is still really good though. Just wish the receivers were a little smaller and cheaper. And I can only run 20 trucks on the noble so I have to have several other transmitters lol

Thats legit! Tbh- i have always felt like controllers were too big. I wouldnt mind running my favorite 24 and my trailwalker on the same micro controller. Furitek seems to be KILLING it!
That is cool. It looks like the remote that came with my atlas 6x6. Furitek has really made a big push with their product offerings.
Nice tidy little set up , like you say very easily transportable in size

Super cool radio I will be checking into this when it comes out appreciate you sharing
I super glued a stylus nub on the menu switch.. really helps with using 4ws on the go once you get used to it
Nice! Wait till I get time to do a vid on my modded gt5 for rear steer. It’s sweet! Just gotta build a 4ws rig again lol
Nice, great alternative for people that have stock radios
Great video. This is the first one I have seen besides furiteks video of it. Definitely going to get one of these 🤙🏼
This looks awesome! Love the compactness of it and the breakdown capabilities. Would like to know more about the 3rd and 4th channel switches/buttons.
Super helpful! Thank you for all the videos you do.
I'll definitely be getting one of these. Would be nice if it had a variable switch in a convenient spot for rear steer
Happy thanksgiving Matt!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Pretty slick lookin. If the price ain't bad I'll have to pick one up.
Great video my friend nice job👍Happy thanksgiving I wish you a good weekend 😉✌️

You should try this in a panda hobby tetra
When they releasing this? I like because it’s small and convenient to take to work. Probably easy to switch off using different receivers like the gt5
Mid December I believe. They haven’t set a date for sure yet.
Cool video 👍👍👍
This is the same controller (minus the display) that comes with the Losi mini-T 2.0.
Yep! And the mini b and the atlas 6x6 lol
I’m looking for a fly sky gt5 lmk if you see any deals anywhere!!! Even tho there cheap as it is just looking to save a buck
