Hello,
I admit, it's been a long time since I last posted in the community, so an informal hello to all. That said, my previous questions were always answered quickly and accurately so I know the responses will continue to follow suit. I have a Revo 3.3 that hasn't been fired up in almost 2 years. So the other day, I put her back together, charged the packs and experienced unbelievable chatter. So, I researched some reasonably priced TxRx and seem to be gravitating to the Flysky FS-GT3B. With this, I have several other questions I was hoping to get some direction on as well.
My Ride is mostly stock; however, 3 years ago, I did upgrade the suspension, did a complete ceramic bearing upgrade (this was a great suggestion) and removed the reverse function.
Q1: For a replacement remote that costs < than a bill, is this Flysky decent enough?
Q2: if no to #1, is there another recommendation under a $100.00?
Q3: Given the 2 port Ch1 input on the stock Revo receiver to drive the dual stock steering servos and the single
Ch1 port on the Flysky, will a Y-harness work? If so, is this the only part I will need? Should I expect any
performance bottleneck with splitting output pulse signal via Ch1 to the dual Revo stock steering servos?
Q4: I apologize in advance for what may seem to be another rudimentary question, but I was thinking of
purchasing a basic LED light kit. I like the one that ships with 4 white LED's and 4 Red LED's collapsing to a
single female connector. Can I assume I can simply connect this to an available channel on the receiver and
I'm off and running?
Q5: I never really did much off-roading; pretty much treated her as a street racer. With this, I prefer top-end
versus torque. Until I upgrade the stock 3.3 motor, any recommendations on the ideal clutch bell to spur
gear T ratio? Understanding a larger pinion gear and smaller spur will give me higher top-end, but slower
acceleration and likely generate more heat.
Q6: Given the asphalt/concrete use, any recommendation on rims/wheels to swap the stock ones out with.
I can only assume the treads on the stock wheels simply create more drag.
Thank you for checking my thread and responding.
Much appreciated.
