When it gets out of range:

Direct quote from the email back
"Dear Sir,
Sorry to heat that.
In general, if users lose the accessory by themselves, you need to buy it and pay the shipping costs by themselves. We do not provide free accessory for such situation."
the rest of the email was...
Took apart the radio. Buddy said it wasn't that hard but its a pain. The lower button at the bottom I think its the PS4 button. When I took the case off it flew off into the air so now i gotta email them back saying I need a new PS4 button. Hopefully they ship me one for free. If not I ain't...
Yea I'll take that 100 bucks. Cause of all the troubles I had with you
But in my actual reply I said I'll use that to get new receivers and an internal antenna
In the terms from my buddy - "They can't figure out the problem because they refuse to take any remote with any issues for them to see...
Turns out this is what people are using. I thought it would be much harder to install but it looks like it's fairly easy because it's a simple plug.
Gonna get a new antenna and test it out after school gets out...
Sounds like it might be an internal antenna issue on the radio. Couple people start putting new antennas in their radio. My buddy used to get 100ft with cutouts. Now he is getting 300feet with no cutouts. Not what RadioLink advertised (which they said like what, 1400 or 1600 feet?) but it is...
Yep. Thats what radiolink has been doing since last year. Gave up at one point but I'm back at it again. Won't be surprised if it all doesn't work out. Its China so that is also could be why.
Yep. Guess ill see what direction they will go with next week.
I only sent the email out the bumped the thread cause Dad brought it up about whats next on my priority list for the cars.
Also would be helpful for them to send me a couple new receivers too so I can get all freshly new stuff. Some of the receivers I have, especially one in my rustler where the case cracked open and I'm running basically a little circuit board in the rx box. (I call this, de-cased receivers)
bump
Emailed RadioLink and hopefully they respond by Monday or sometime next week. Seeing if I can get mine warrentied or get a new radio for free. As I put in the email, I sent my Amazon info of purchase in an email a few months ago, and Id like to keep my old radio for testing uses while...
Looking more since I haven't been active on Facebook recently (my phone gotten taken away and i always forget my password)
I seen people opening up and putting new internal antennas on their radio, but so far it looks like none helped. And also resoldering antenna connections on the main board...
I believe the NB4 has 8 channels.
Futaba 10PX has 10 channels
Not aware of any other 8+ channel radios unless its a AIR rated tx, or stick radio.
The Radiomaster MT12 is another one I forgot about. Online it says 16 to 32 channels. Guessing that is because of OpenTX and ELRS and whatever...
Yea thats why I don't wanna talk about it anymore. Frightens me too cause I almost lost some of my cars before while using mine.
All that I can say is whatever you do, do not update the firmware. From my experience it was the firmware most likely. But from what I read, it can be anything that...
Oh yea, I just realized. I was out with the rustler the other day. With my 4GS radio. I was at the local school parking lot. Me and the car, probably a few yards away. Guessing about 70 to 100 feet away. Not so sure. I'm terrible at guessing distance. But my radio cutout and it went full throttle...
100% agree. Had my radio since July 2023. Started to have issues late September of 2023. And its been un usable ever since. I just said forget it to selling it cause why or who would want a faulty radio?
I powered it up and tried connecting it to my Mini B the other day. It would bind up. But...
I currently have
x1 R8FG V2.0 (came with the RC8X when I got it)
x1 R4FGM V1.1 (came with the RC8X when I got it)
x4 R6FG V4/V5 receivers (some came with my 4GS V3 when I got it, some I got extra from amazon)
From my experiments, especially in my race buggy when I can only use it at the...
First, I would not update the firmware, as its 1 of the major causes to having these issues, from what I experienced. If you leave it with the firmware it came with from the factory, you should be good to go.
I would test the RSSI first before using it with the xmaxx.
Follow radiolinks video...
Problems. Signal is weak on the radio and range is not that good. That's why I wrote the disclaimer that it should only be used with low power cars or cars where you are near all the time with. Ie mini cars or crawlers, or the radio can be used with a simulator.
Also because of the weak signal...
