Much needed update to the Radiolink. That being said, I'm REALLY happy with my Flysky Noble NB4.

I have been waiting on someone to do this video! THANK YOU!!

Awesome radio and video ! Radiolink really stepped it up

Thanks for always being so on top of everything. One of the best in the business!

Been waiting for this review lol. Had it saved on my amazon & aliexpress list for about a month waiting lol

I would love to see another video of this radio once you have it setup with your TRX-4. Would be curious to see which switches you used for each function and get your opinions on using it for crawlers.

Just didn't see 200 bux in upgrades. Might just be that I don't have a use for so many channels right now. Has a new sleek look with the screen, and ambidextrous wheel. Will be watching for future videos coming up soon as you go deeper into all the things it has to offer. As always, great video and keep them coming!!

The overall design of the Tx looks EXTREMELY similar to the Futaba 7PX. Obviously, the power button is different (and in a different location), and there are no other buttons below the screen (like on the 7PX)...but, when you look at the other buttons/switches/dials, they not only look almost identical to those on the 7PX, but are in the same location. Even switching the wheel, from right to left side, is done almost identically to how it's done on the 7PX. So far, it looks good. When I first heard about it, I became interested...not for general & racing RC use (for that, I have my 7PX, and Noble NB4), but for speedrun cars (which I'm just getting into, having purchased a Limitless V2). Speaking of which, something you didn't cover...or, even mention...is the ability to attach a TBS Crossfire. The reason I mention it is, Radiolink mentions it on the website, and even shows a photo of the Tx with a Crossfire unit attached...but, there is NOTHING in the manual about it - nothing mentioned about setting it up within the Tx settings, nothing about how to attach the Crossfire unit to the front of the RC8X, nothing about connecting wires to power the Crossfire...literally, nothing. Speedrunners who want/need the extreme distance will love that the RC8X has a DSC port for adding a Crossfire...but, if they don't cover anything about it in the manual, how's anyone supposed to know how to properly configure its use with the RC8X?

Ok you win I can’t wait to get one now 😊

The important question, how fast is the response (latency), example using a fast servo or fast esc for precision racing, is as good as top end model futaba or sanwa? Is it faster than the NB4?

Did you do any latency testing? I'd like to know how it compares to the NB4, PX7, M17, etc.

I've been waiting for this to be released but wanted to know if it would live up to the hype. With the Noble, Flysky hit a home run, offering a radio loaded with features, at a fraction of the cost of competitor's radios. However, when they updated it to the Pro, the price went through the roof and pitted it against the likes of Futaba and Sanwa. A serious mistake if you ask me (just didn't make sense). This, however, is a whole different story. I mean, a touch screen radio with features that rival the best radios in the industry and at a FRACTION of the cost! Excellent fit and finish, touchscreen, just about every feature you could imagine. This could be a game changer! 👍

Can you PLEASE do a comparison with this and the Flysky Noble NB4. I feel like they are very close competition. Im definitely thinking about getting this for my speed run cars because of the range and maybe for my race buggys but the NB4 is also a awesome radio.

🇩🇰🇩🇰very cool video again🤩you videos so understand for many 🛵🙏THANKS for yours videos 🙏keep up the good works and videos🙏🤗🇩🇰🇩🇰

Thanks! Do you know what the range is for the gt5?

Awesome...some of the features reminds me of my futaba 7pxr. Wonder how difficult or not the new radiolink is compared to the 7pxr? I do struggle with the 7pxr more than my Spektrum DX6R or DX5 Rugged...

I've been waiting for this from radiolink for so long. I love their old radios but they're just not up to par in the hand.

Does any of the current users have this apparatus and has it configured with TRX-4 and can reveal the configuration, I mean the most about the differential lock and gear shift .

I have been looking for a new Radio that has plenty of features including a gyro but wanted something nice not a Dumbo. I originally looked at a DX5C or Pro but they are a little pricy but this Radiolink radio looks amazing it's a like a 7PX or 7PXR but at a fraction of the cost both radio itself and receivers. Does anyone recommend this radio? if so i might buy one and receivers for most of my cars.

what are some good batteries for this model that doesnt make you modify the controller

I have commented on so many of your videos. Oh and you videos are a good time to watch and really helpful do you think you can do a long time review on the red cat gen8 hobby wing axe edition please

I saw this new transmitter announced but I ordered a noble pro, I held the noble in my hand and noble feel premium. What about this one ? From the few video, it look like a glorified flysky GT5 with a premium screen. What you think ?

An upgraded firmware for the RC6GS would be great to extend its capabilities. Any news on this?

How good and better is this one compate to flysky nb4 pro?

Some one know if there is something like this for traxxas udr to do all funccion like the tqi with tsm

What are people experience with touch screens and misty / drizzle like weather? Looks sweet as hell and this video just touched barely scratches the surface on its features, i can't wait to see an in depth once youve done your homework lol

Hello, what a great review. Would you be able to review the WFLY X9 transmitter?

Have you checked response time and latency?????

I am planning to buy it , but I wanna to get more user feedback apply for the touring racing, I really concern about the response speed and accuracy, it was my first considered for the transmitter.

Thanks for the video of the new RC8X but this isn't really a review. This is more of an unboxing video. Hope you do make a proper review video of this new transmitter in the future showing features, how to use it and how it performs. Thanks.

15 or more channel of this gun type would be nice for rc truck.have to stick with joystick type.i am also going to build some battle bots that require two remote/transmitter.i hope one day radiolink would consider release that kind of remote

is it as good as futaba 7px or sanwa m17?

I still using my old touch screen Flysky it4s. Full battery telemetry & motor temperatures displayed on my screen for 100$. To bad they quit making them

👍nice

Super awesome

That’s awesome! I just found my next radio! The old GT3C will get relocated to my bashers since I have so many FlySky RXs. What do the RadioLink RXs run?

I have a Radiolink RC6GS which has a really clunky UI and lacking a lot of features. I also have a Spektrum DX5 Pro which is very nice except for their WAY over priced RX's. I got kinda excited when I saw the RC8X because I was thinking we're finally getting a fully featured radio system for an affordable price and fairly priced RX's. Then I saw the price. And here I thought my DX5 Pro was over priced. At what Radiolink wants for this thing, I think I'll stick with my DX5.

Have you set up any MOA dual motor crawlers? I see it has a dual esc function.

You're top dog as far as RC channels go. Been watching for years. I hope you review the new Hobby Plus CR-18P 'rock van'. Hobby Plus really addressed the problems with the cr18 and knocked it out of the park. I want more people to know so hobby plus keeps going

Wow 299 on amazon, I'll stick with my old one

FYI, your video doesn't show when searching for RC8X, you should check description and keyword.

Can I bind a Spektrum sr315 receiver to this new radiolink transmitter?

I want to see this radio pared with you new MST drifter 2.5 please!

Is it compatible with all radio link receivers?

EIGHT. _EIGHT._ Jeez, that's _almost_ enough to run one of the Tamiya trucks.

If you are in to drag or competitive carpet racing, This radio Freaking slow, not good latency, some what sluggish using my test servo, the display looks great but boy this is so slow😬, i wish i waited for more reviewers into racing.😩 (i compared it to my MT44 and NB4, my vintage sanwa Mx3Fg a lot faster than this RC8X).

8 double A batteries holy thats like 1990's tech.

Would be great if their recievers would be backwards compatible like Spektrum. I have the RC4GS and the RC6GS, even between them the recievers are not cross compatible. 😒

270 lost me. I'll keep my 6

only voltage telemetry, disappointing. For Nitro I'm going with Flysky because of rpm and temperature telemetry.

nice rafio but expansive

Nb4 is only 200 bucks with 2 rx .

From $80 to $270? smh

I always enjoy watching all your videos and finally someone reviewing the new Radiolink RC8X receiver....I've been debating on getting this radiolink or the Flysky Noble NB4, which do you think is better when it comes to the display, features, everything which comes in the Box and all between those two?

Ah yes but what if you want to let someone else use it who is left handed (like my son) then you can't just switch it around like a noble

Sooo expensive.

Still looks clunky and cheap. It might do everything but if it looks crap it won't sell
