RC Tanks Australia Forum

Anyone use the above radios and is it suitable for tank use?

And is it possible to buy and fit stick spring return unit to the throttle?

Looking at the pictures, it looks like a hobby king radio and receiver, but don't know if is underneath.

Ian.

Hi Ian

FlySky, Turnigy & Hobby King radios are in most cases all exactly the same.

FS-TH9X = Turnigy 9X
FS-CT6B = HobbyKing HK-T6A
FS-T4B = HobbyKing HK-T4A

The FS-T6 has no HobbyKing/Turnigy equivalent. I have not used this radio however, it uses the same 6 channel receiver as all the others and the firmware screen shots all indicate that this is simply a scaled down 6 channel 9X. I doubt that it can use any of the 9X custom firmware though.

As for the centering levers. I made them for the FS-CT6B/HK-T6A but stopped as they were not worth the effort. The design of the lever made them hard to replicate in resin. However, they were as easy a fit as for the 9X.

I strongly suspect that the FS-T6 will be a different kettle of fish. The newer radios from HK appear to have separate right/left gimbals and require extra pins and possibly catches. These radios are a beeatch to modify and you'd be better off getting 2 radios to make one.

Cheers
KG

Thanks for the answer Kevin.

I know some radios are a right pain to sort the self return on the throttle, which is a shame as puts me off some radios.

Ian.
