come on... the ansmann radio is made by flysky so there will be no difference in quality. Maybe the service is better and maybe the expo works- i don t know.
At least the memory is a bit wired. If you dont push enter after every change it wont safe it... sounds obvious but is a bit uncommon to use.

@nosequehacer: ehy dont u look up the expo if you still have the radio? That would be the easiest way to find out. But i bet it will be wrong

I would like to ask the current Ansmann W6 owners to do that expo test for the future buyers. Please, check if it works or not and tell us.
Is it possible or is it too difficult?
Thanks in advance!

Thumbs up

I use expo in steering and throttle and works nice since the beginning without problem.

I think the advantage is if you have troubles: don´t need to pay costs of shipping and wait some weeks to take a new radio. You carry your transmitter to the shop and get a new one. but I repeate, if you have troubles, I didn´t

Don't really think that was true test! As the person who did that vid had the hk receiver in a ariel tube and the ansmann receiver ariel runnig down the side of the lipo!!
Also you should run any RC transmitter with the ariel extended!
I don't run the w6 but think vids like these can damage peoples views on things! Just like the ids of lipos catching fire!!
I have a friend (who started this thread) and every time I see him I ask how's he getting on with the w6 and he loves it!
So make what ever you want of the vid!

I only wanted to know if it really works or not. I read that HK and FS similar transmitters have issues with with expo setups and so on.... if the Ansmann w6 doesn't have this problem, than I will have one soon.

The vid is pretty strange. The same problem with different transmitters... it seems this person has different problems, maybe the speedo.
But that the expo works on the ansmann is one thing I really like to see in person because its something that you dont notice at once because it works but not correct. The expo problem on the throttle isnt that bad... because the brake trigger distance is very short anyway

I'm like you, I'm sure this is a good trnasmitter.
For the moment a have a Futaba 3Pk, but when i will have some problem with the futaba i will change for the W6

I see some personn drive with the W6 and are very happy but i don't look all the programm inside the transmitter.

gt3b here, feels good quality (came from futaba 2PL) works exactly like it says on the tin, never tried the expo functions apart from when first looking at it( you can put negative expo on, might solve the issue mentioned above), save that for twitchy helicopters but everything else fine about it.

4 extra receivers bought at the same time for other cars, one for my madrat, all for less than half the price of one spekky receiver that my mate has to purchase for his cars.

all in all, great purchase and no amount of extra case mouldings and battery boxes would make me buy the Ansmann one even if the expo did work

Iv been running the W6 for a little while now, had a bit of a glitch which was the reciver, once replaced it has been spot on, setting expo was easy, just steer left or right and set it for each side.

@ stumpiey: ok than the W6 seems to have a different expo function than the GT3B. On the GT3B you cannot choose the expo for left or right. That is only possible for end point adjustment.

hope nobody got my post in the wrong light
not slating or thumbs up the ansmann, i dont own a w6

what i am doing is confirming that the basic hardware its based on is great
just i do everything in my life for as little as possible(too many damn hobbies) and getting 5 cars converted to 2.4ghz for the same price as the w6 floats my boat.

If the gt3b transmitter gives up, a w6 might be an option especially if it turns out to be compatible with receivers that cost £5 a piece, in fact if someone is willing to try it i will supply one of these receivers to try out with the w6

Hi pbiggy, had any luck testing receiver with a W6?
I,ve had a W6 for a couple of months, been using it on my crawler but just recently switched it to my car and i am having problems with the range, it loses the signal at about 20 meters! I'm sure it should have more of a range but I am new to rc, so maybe its just me.
Anyway if you if your still interested in testing the receiver with a W6 than i would be more than happy to, would'nt mind extra receivers for a fiver! but only if i can sort out the probs with the range.......

I'm using a W6 ansmann radio and i can recommend it, i'm using also a futaba 3PK but the W6 is absolutely a great radio.
I even use some receivers from another brand and also have no problems.
I'm using it with my offroad cars now and have been using it for my onroad cars aswell and never had any issues about range or expo or what so ever.
