I purchased a Flysky GT3B on Amz, and the first one seemed a bit quirky whenever I turned on the transmitter it took minutes for me to get throttle signal to my STC. The steering worked right away, and I thought perhaps I had a bad connection somewhere and would figure out after practice. But I also noticed while using it that the transmitter would start beeping like low voltage and I tested all the brand new Duracel batteries and all were full. I replaced them all with more new ones just in case my battery tester was lying, same result. And often when I tilted the transmitter it would do the same thing. I could turn it off and back on again and it would be fine until I tilted it again.
Then I noticed that when I lost connectivity it also lost my EPA settings. And they didn't resort to 100% in both directions, they would be 70% to left and 100% to right.
So, I sent it back and requested a replacement, which came quickly in the mail.
Last nite I took the new one, tested all new batteries and put them in, and I like to never got it to turn on, I noticed without the on/off switch being pressed when I was putting batteries in, it started beeping. Then when I put the battery door on and turned it up right, I couldn't get it to turn on. I had to slide the door open and push around rotating the batteries to get it to turn on. I finally got it back on, and as long as I don't jostle it I can turn it off and on, but I'm certain most of the issue is the batteries not staying in correct contact. I'm just not sure if there is a fix for this. I also noted that when it loses connection to the batteries, it loses all settings and adjustments, is this normal?
I really liked the price on this, having spent enough on the new Tekno SCT410SL kit and electronics, but at the same time, I'm a bit disheartened to have two in a row with reliability issues. I just thought I would post on here and see if anyone had a solution or fix, or if not, recommendations for the next level up, cost wise in a controller. Should I expect this with other Flysky controllers? or are the more expensive models more reliable?
