Looking for high-channel transmitter for your radio control hobby? In this video, we take an in-depth look at the very affordable RadioLink RC8X, walk through the menu, and highlight some of the great features of this powerful transmitter. It includes a full color touch screen display, tons of programming options, low-cost receivers (2 included!), an FPV compatible setup where the screen turns into a monitor, cruise control programming, head tracking & TBS Crossfire compatibility, and lots more. Goes for $200-300 less than other comparative high channel transmitters out there - definitely worth a look.

I got 500m range out of my radiolink rc6gs. Its kind of crazy. Love that these guys support fpv cars with features like head tracker ports lots of channels and massive range on a pistol style transmitter. Thanks for showcasing this 👍

Yeah it will suck down battery. A few things that help conserve - turn down the brightness, have it auto dim after 15-30 seconds, and set a button to turn off the screen.

This is cool. I really want to set up my trx4 with a camera and drive it on my PC around my house with my Fanetec racing rig, but I can't find how to guides. I saw some people did it on youtube, but they don't tell you how and the videos are like 3 years old already

Thanks for the video! Btw what is the range for the FPV video? My DJI system goes up to 0.6 miles, wondering how this will compare. It will be nice to have it on a screen instead of googles all the time.

Anyone have a link for the 1s battery to use with the camera? Looking to get this for a gas rc to use with kill switch. Would this be a good option? Never knew you could do a fpv camera on a controller so that is a great added feature.

@spingel88 4 ай бұрын

Do you have to set the date and time when you put the battery back in it? I'm strongly considering getting one of these, but that would get really annoying really fast, because I tend to leave all of my RC stuff battery-less when not in use.

So the camera comes with a small plug that’d go to a board not directly to a battery. You have to change it to a female PH2.0 or jst

Das ist ja mal ein Super Sender, ist er denn sinnvoll beim Drücken in den Menues? Erlebe nämlich Übles beim Sender Spektrum DX5 Rugged, da muss man eine Einstellung xmal wiederholen , hat zu Anfang immer den Falschen Menuepunkt gedrückt, selbst die Trimmung einzustellen braucht Zeit, und zwar richtig Zeit. Schlecht scheint zu sein , den Akku nicht nachladen zu können , ohne diesen heraus zu nehmen. Bin auf Antworten gespannt....

I love the radio but my fpv is really choppy and bad video quality unless im right next to it. Yours looked good any idea how I can make it better?

@RCGirl 8 ай бұрын

You can try pressing the button on the cam. It's super tiny, but that switches channels I believe. So you can see which one gives the best signal. Also make sure the antenna on the cam is not damaged and try playing around with antenna positions on the receiver side. Hope that helps!

@@RCGirl do you know if other 5.8g fpv camera will work too or does it have to be the radiolink one?

@@DetoursRC haven't tried but i think other cams should work but the receiver needs to be the radiolink one because of the jack that it plugs into.

Is it just me or is the fond and design of the “Radiolink” logo very similar to RadioShack? I had to do a double take to make sure I read the logo right
