Radio definitely looks very cool. 😍 nice review Razor. 👌

Nice to hear your opinion on the RC8X, I'm looking at buying one of these radios for my bashers and speedrun cars like my XO-1 since i don't have a radio for it yet and i really like all the features of it especially the gyro. If you're wondering i already own a Futaba 4PM original and so does my dad i just want something with more features, a gyro and great range but looking pro on a budget the RC8X certainly fits very well i can't wait to get mine next month.

I've got my eye on one of these, not sure how it'll work with the trx4 lights and bits and bobs. Thanks for the review 👍

Awesome remote and great review

Nice quick look. I bought this radio specifically for surface FPV, plenty of channels to control the vehicle, and enough left to control a gimble. The built in FPV display+DVR+cable ports is what sets this system apart from almost everything else. It is not a replacement for my 4PM, just fills a different roll. They do have nano rx available. I got a 6 pack of R4FGMs for less than a $100( about $17 each) They do have an antenna, they claim to still have 400 meters of range, and they are gyro equipped. The gyro is going to be nice in some of my rowdy 3s micro builds.

Hi razer rc nice video mate and good information on the handset

Such a nice radio one day ill definitely have one

Radiolink does make a micro 4 channel rx. Use them in my 24th scale crawlers.

I bought a kraton 6s V5 a few weeks ago. While the slt3 works great, it’s pretty cheap feeling. Any suggestion on what to jump up too for more comfort? In that regard knowing the slt3 works good for me?

Nice review though a basic one. The worry I had about this radio was with the latency/speed/response or however people choose to describe it and it appears it's in a range not to my personal liking so I'd never use it as a main radio. What I do appreciate is the extras this radio brings to the table compared to others as well as Radiolinks proven range capability. However for me, the overall size, speed and programmable features (servo frequency for example) of the Noble Pro will keep me locked into it for the foreseeable future.

Hey Razor, are you still impressed? What about the servo response in your opinion? I have the RC8X by myself since a few days and I must say: I LIKE! But I'n not a competion driver...

Thank you for the video and I agree about the lack of micro receivers with jst-zh connectors (for 1:28 stuff). I use a rc4gs and r4fgm but the big jr connectors are clunky at that kind of scale. I imagine it'd not be that difficult for Radiolink to sell one and compete with nb4 there.

if i tried to use this with an rc tank could i bind some of those dials to the turret control?

Nice review. How would you compare this to the Futaba 4PM in terms of performance? Is the Futaba more reaponsive, more linear, etc?

My RC4GS v3 keeps losing range and car out of control or just stops working. Thinking might be the 6 x AA battery losing contact. Might get a 2s lipo for it.

hopefully they will pull down latency times with firmware over time , the latest noble nb4 update FW2.0.102(FCC Version) has certainly brought a huge step up in response time , so much so that its now so quick I've found it drives like a good race radio should and have stopped looking for a race specific radio..

Any idea on the latency?

Thanks for the review! Considering the RC8X is using the same protocol and receivers as the RC6GS/RC4GS the RC8X response is slower than the Noble NB4 and other high end radios. So it isn't just in your head! RC8X and NB4 are great radios but aren't for competitive racers.

Man futaba won’t be happy . Looks a lot like there 7 and 10px in a way but a third of the price. And lots loved the old one with the good range. Hopefully is just as good range. Definitely going to try one out.

I need a good radio system for my fast electric boats. Would you take the Futaba 4PM over this RC8X?

That's for your reviews

Just found your channel. Great content. Thinking about jumping back into the hobby. I'm from the Bay Area. What's popular race class at Norcal and good for beginners?

Since I seen this receiver online I've been debating on getting this or the noble nb4. which one would you recommend out of those two in general?

Do you or will you have a roundup in the 200-300 range of radios including this? Pro’s/Con’s of each and which features stand out on each?

Can this screen be seen in direct sunlight?

They absolutely do have micro Rx's for these, all backwards compatible. I run my Orlandoo's with my RC6GS. Throttle response on my RC6 is better than the Futaba 4PL that I replaced with it. Way more responsive than a buddies Spectrum 5ch. I would take the RC6 racing any day. This thing, RC8X, is a wet dream to those of us that run everything from 5th scale to 35th. If it wasn't so close to X-mas, and grocery prices weren't through the roof, I'd already have one on the way.

Is it possible to calibre the display of the voltage for the battery on the car ? Is it accurate ? Thank's !

Update February 9,2023, my radiolink RC8X connection problem happen when my transmitter is right beside the receiver (r8fg) 8 inch or less, you can still control steering but tx and receiver voltage displayed on my radio drop to null, and fluctuating signals. This will be a issue if you happen to be calibrating your car, at the beginning i assumed it would be the esc i am using, i test hobbywing 1080, tamiya esc, castle sidewinder and hobbywing xr10 all have same have the same signal dropout at very close proximity with the receivers, i am assuming either software issue or more likely hardware😬, i would suggest you guys with RC8X do your own testing, to avoid RC mishaps

i got this radio finally and im loving it no issues at all.

Is this open TX?

hey buddy love ur channel, i have a rustler and b6.2 also, ..but why on earth do people buy 5-6-7-8 channel radios for racing an rc car???? 3 channels sure even 4 for some ligts for the hobby guyts i get that but i dont get racers paying 2x 3x for radios with channels theyll never use ??? what am i missing?? need a radio for my b6.2 im not rich but it deserves something good any suggestions bro?

looks very close to a futaba7pxr copy

worried about tx sizie use crossfire

This seems like an excellent Tx for use with speedrun vehicles, especially considering the DSC port, and compatibility with CrossLink. Unfortunately...and, this will be considered a HUGE problem by some (including myself)...there doesn't appear to be ANY information related to actually using DSC/CrossLink. Their website mentions CrossLink ability, and they even show a photo of a CrossLink attached to the front of the Tx...but, there is NO other info to be found. The website has NO info, and the manual has NO info. I even emailed them about this, and asked for info...and, they NEVER BOTHERED to reply. I don't care how great a product might be...but, if they can't be bothered to include ALL info in the manual, and, even worse, of they refuse to respond to inquiries related to that much-needed info (ie. INCREDIBLY POOR customer service), then maybe it's a product not worth considering.

You're not gonna mention it looks like an exact replica of the sanwa m17?

How in the hell is this only 250.00$ just bought one !!!

Think I'd probably crash while looking at all that crap

$399

I just received it 10 mins ago, did the speed test, super slow response, sluggish and poor latency on steering servo, I am very disappointed, slower than my old sanwa MX3FG, my best radio for reference i have right now sanwa MT44 and NB4 (i wish i have 7px to compare), both are exceptional in performance, but this one super super slow. I WILL NOT recommend this! Update as of February 8,2023, another issues i found out, jumping to different fhss v1 and v2 protocols (receiver) are not a good idea, for example bind connected to r8fg receiver with fhss v2 protocol saved, then you pre select different car with to R6fg fhss v1 protocol, it will not bind, you need to confirm again the fhss v1 (checked) protocol to v1 enter confirm before you can start using the assigned car, when going back to another with fhss vs 2 protocol you need to go again to receiver setting and select v2 enter confirmed. 😬😬😬😬Freaking complicated!! As long as you stayed fhss v2 saved receivers you will be fine. One more thing i found out, both receivers r8fg and r6fg losing binding connection (receiver voltage 7.4volts) with my kyosho USA1 esc( oem Hobbywing ), I used the sanwa and flysky receivers with no drop out on signals. Either this radiolink need a pretty stable firmware update or I don’t know.

Would not recommend this junk radio to anyone. Random signal loss from bout 50% of them.
