Well I am in need of replacements, I have emailed VF just a moment ago. I was wondering if any one else has messed up their VF DIG like this or am I just the only one? Just for the record, this is and fully was my fault. Nothing to do with VF just how I used it and my 3rd channel set up.

Well I have been in R/C for 7 years now I race on-road, oval, off-road, and have been very competitive at it. Any way the radio of choice for me was the Helios EX-10 this is a very good racing radio...... The 3rd channel suxs big donkey balls!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a high tech big dollar radio I have one option for the 3rd channel: 90 deg switch, no epa's at all just push a button servo moves 90 deg let off button servo returns 90 deg. I just didnt take the time and do the R&D to set it up, I now have it set correctly just tore the guts out of it to figure it out.

Superboy · 06-01-2008, 03:46 PM

cspyy · 06-01-2008, 10:22 PM

m3kan1k · 06-01-2008, 10:39 PM

cspyy · 06-02-2008, 04:12 PM

no this thing is not tight at all, somehow it got drilled wrong

a buddy of mine lent me his cog so its together right now. i also have had their dig in my comp rig since the presale and its fine, so i know its this thing

airborn · 06-04-2008, 04:10 PM

hmm... I think that maybe this could have been part of the reason it had problems re-engaging? The old cog openings are much smaller than the new cogs.

Superboy · 06-06-2008, 11:08 PM

any news on the parts yet.
i am still waiting for the parts.
