8-channel computer pistol-grip RC set RadioLink using a FHSS 2.4GHz transmission system for model cars and boats. With the R8FG FHSS telemetry receiver included in the set, you have 8 PWM channels for conventional servos plus a built-in gyro. The RC8X transmitter can also work with the R6F and R6FG 6-channel receivers with built-in gyro, the R4FGM and R4F 4-channel receivers, or the R8EF and R8FM „flight“ receivers (designed primarily for the T8FB and T8S transmitters). The RC set's range is up to 600 m, so you don't have to worry about letting your boat into „bigger water“. With the R8FG receiver, it allows you to transmit telemetry and display the receiver's power supply voltage and signal strength received by the receiver directly on the transmitter's display. There is also a voice telemetry output.
The RC8X transmitter in a classic pistol-grip design with a comfortable handle is equipped with a steering wheel control, a throttle trigger, a rotary knob for the CH3, four digital trims around the steering wheel (with assignable function) and five push-button switches. A colour LCD touchscreen provides fast programming and easy navigation in the intuitive menu. The RC8X has memory for up to 200 models and a wide range of advanced program functions including four freely programmable mixes, so you can easily set up common and special car models (eg. steerable front and rear wheels for crawlers, tracked vehicles and tanks, twin-shaft boats etc.).
To start up the transmitter you will need 8 AAA alkaline or NiMH batteries placed in the battery compartment. Although for powering you can use 2–4S LiPo battery packs as well.

FUNCTIONS

• FHSS 2.4GHz transmission system for RC cars
• 8 proportional channels (CH1 and CH2 with controllers, CH3–CH8 with freely assignable controllers or switches)
• Option for left-hand or right-hand layout
• Steering wheel for the steering control
• Trigger for the throttle control
• Assignable rotary knob
• 4 digital trims with assignable functions (steering, throttle, dual rates, brakes, three-position switch etc.)
• 5 push-button switches (assignable for mixes or channel control)
• USB-C port for firmware updates
• Option to save model settings to Micro SD card, a firmware update via Micro SD card
• Voice and vibration signals of operation and error messages

Program functions

• Memory for up to 200 models
• Rate settings of every channel
• Servo rate limiter (limiting max. rate when using mixes)
• Channel operation direction reversing
• Subtrims for all channels
• Steering, throttle and brake response control: exponentials, broken curve with linear segments or curve with up to 9 points adjustable independently for left/right and throttle forward/reverse
• Servo speed for steering and throttle
• Servo monitor (for quick control of servo movement)
• ABS
• Safe idling
• Traction control
• Start (protects against wheel spin on incoherent surfaces during start-up)
• Engine shutdown
• Channel-specific driver assignment
• Fail-safe mode for all channels
• Trim function assignment
• Switch function assignment
• Mix for 2-servo control
• Mix for 2-servo front/rear brakes
• Mix for gyro control
• 4WS mix for independent front and rear axle steering for crawlers
• Mix for drive system with 2 ESCs
• CPS mix for LED light control
• Mix for tanks (for controlling the movement of tracked vehicles)
• 8 freely programmable mixes
• Mix for outboard boat motors (simultaneous control of the direction and tilt of the entire motor up and down)
• Timer with selectable mode (stopwatch, timer)
• With a telemetry receiver: monitor of receiver supply voltage and signal strength on the display with adjustable threshold voltage for warning signalling and other telemetry data from connected sensors
• Voice output of telemetry
• CHILD ID: a special feature that allows you to control multiple models simultaneously or switch control of multiple models (eg. drive a tractor with a trailer loaded with an excavator - drive to the site, park, and then switch to excavator control)
