Select Type >level3
Select Exec -- Push + & -

Then I went back a screen (end) and now you can use the + and - buttons to select two whole screens of programming features. I set up mix 1 on the grip button to give front dig, one of the dials to control my rear wheel trim, and the other dial for front trim.

I am officially done with stick radios for comp use I think, so far I am very impressed with the control I have with the dial and button.

John are you using the latest style of programming we are using in this thread?

I origionally set it up with the front ESC on ch 2 and the rear on ch3. This would allow me to use a 3 channel rx if I needed to. With the 4ch rx it may be easiest to just use 3 and 4 for the ESCs. Then the BEC can go straight into ch 2 no problem.

That is what I was doing at first as well. I like this new setup much better now though. I just needed the kick in the head from Whoodie

Glad you guys are getting the bugs worked out for me. Cant wait to catch up, and start pushing the limits on the 4PK

Here is a video demonstrating the front and rear dig as well as on-the-fly adjustable mixing.

The top two lines are the dials that control the rear mixing:





And that is it. That will give result with this setup. Feel free to PM me or post up any questions

Nice job Josh, I can see the 4PK in front of me with your instructions. Although I think I need glasses but still not bad

No glasses, my pics are just fuzzy but it is late and I didn't feel like adjusting the lighting

Hope you got your radio today, your welcome

No...I was using DSM airtronic M11...last comp...did ok on the first course until I got a call for my on-call service job @ Ukiah...and I was pissed cause they needed the equipment...so I rushed the rest of the courses...I gave back my 1.9 score card to Dean...and told him next time...1.9

Could the 4PK be used on a super for rear str and still be able to do digs or dose the mixxing not allow that many functions? I read thru all the examples but didn't see what I was looking for.
