MaxxUAV EvoLite Kit Plus on P4 or P3P controller?

hozzie · Jun 27, 2016

I have my P3P controller left over from when I lost my P3P in a lake. I just bought a new P4 and also purchased the MaxxUAV kit for it. I got to thinking it would be nice to have one normal controller for close flights and mod the other controller for long range flights. I am pretty sure the P3P controller will also work with the P4.

I am not sure if there are any real differences in the controllers where it would make sense to mod one vs the other. I am leaning toward modding the P3P controller and keeping the P4 stock in case I ever want to sell it, but am not sure if I am losing anything by doing that.

Anyone have some advice on this? Thanks.

Hey Hozzie, the P3P controller is compatible with the P4.

Thanks. Is there any reason to mod one over the other?

Some people claim that the GL300A & GL300B have given them more range, but I haven't noticed this myself. If you have a GL300B though, I would hesitate to mod that one just because the plastic is known to be very brittle. The screw posts are usually broken upon opening it and it's just a mess from there. If it's a GL300C remote, other than the glossy case, it's identical to the RC that comes with the P4.

Mine is a GL300A. I bought one of the first P3P's available.

I did some more research. It looks like the GL300A is actually a little more desirable with the extra chip. I think I will mod the P4 controller and keep the 300A stock. I just decided to get my new P4 so I wasn't aware of the differences.

Thanks for the feedback.
