My TR-SC10E Project - Part 12 - Transmitter Upgrade

I've been avoiding upgrading the transmitter in my TR-SC10e for some time.  Primarily because I like to test the stock items as much as possible then report back to you with how well (or not) they work.  I've tested the stock transmitter/receiver enough now and although they function perfectly, I'd like to have more adjustments such as EPA and Exponential so it's time to upgrade.  I've decided to go with a FlySky FS-GT3C.

Why I chose the FlySky FS-GT3C over other FlySky transmitters

1. I prefer how it feels in my hand vs the cheaper and heavier FS-GT3B
2. I don't need all of the extra channels or telemetry features that the pricier FS-GT5 and FS-IT4S offer
3. The price is great for all of the features it offers

I've actually been using an FS-GT3C in some of my other vehicles for about a year now and it has been great.  The shape of the handle and position of the steering wheel feel really good in my hands and I've always been a fan of foam steering wheels vs plastic.  I also like the fact that it has 10 model memory so I don't have to keep track of so many different transmitters.  I plan to start replacing all of my stock transmitters with this unit.

What I like about the FS-GT3C

• Great price, includes battery and receiver
• It's very light weight, and feels comfortable in my hand.  It's much lighter than the older FS-GT3B
• 10 model memory so I don't have to a pile of transmitters hanging around.  I can outfit my entire fleet with 28479 receivers and use the same transmitter for everything
• Full features including End Point, Exponential, Dual Rate, ABS and more

What I don't like about the FS-GT3C

• Does not bind to the stock Redcat 28480 receivers.  Must use new FS-GR3E receivers
• Set-up process is a little confusing.  I always turn the dial in the wrong direction and have to guess at what button to push

FS-GT3C Review by Chauncey Smith
Here's one of the better reviews I've found online

Like I mentioned, I've been using this transmitter in other vehicles already so I feel very confident it will also work well in my TR-SC10e.
