On top of what everyone else said, if you open the RX case the rest of the external antenna can just simply be unplugged from the board if you weren't already aware.

Definitely not needed, however I still run one most of the time.

Hope you can get one soon! Just got my 4pks too and was planning on setting it up this weekend.

Come on Harley! We know you can do it ;-)

I'll probably have one shortly after Nationals. The existing setup still works great, the only thing you need to change is the display type from Sevo View to Dial/Trim. "thumbsup"

That is the correct reaction to the way the radio is programmed. In the dial menu there is PM2A and PM2B. A and B refer to two different directions (forward and reverse) we only program it for one of those two directions. It is nice to have full forward with both motors though. If one was stronger and you went to slam reverse it could cause more roll overs.

Thank you Harley. I thought I was loosing my mind.
Is there a way to program it so both directions are scaled.
Based on the crawling we do here, I would like to give it a try.
I can imagine a couple of circumstances where slowing down the front motor would be beneficial. I have been known to climb obsticles in reverse. :shock:

Yes, I will get you the settings tonight.

And it doesn't say anything abut the PMIX's being on or off even when I hit the buttons for them. So now that I think about it, if I hit an errant button on course, I have no way of knowing if I am in 2wd,4x4 or FWD unless I pull the throttle. In the wrong position, that could be an issue.

No dig unit is needed, radio does everything"thumbsup"

minnesotamudder 09-03-2010 05:33 PM

sweet i need one of these:flipoff:

ManiacMagoo 09-03-2010 05:41 PM

I wish I could just unplug it lol but my receivers bounce from my crawlers to scalers to 3s 18t to my SC8E so the range varies widely. Thanks guys will give Futaba a call.

Make sure you switch the radio to C1 mode to use the 3ch RX "thumbsup"

how do i switch to c1 mode? :D

mdowney 09-04-2010 03:39 AM

If you guys are looking for a slightly larger alternative to the Futaba hard case, I just picked up a Vaguard VGP-13S photography hard case. They're very rugged and only cost about $50 (check Amazon, buy.com). It includes full foam with cube cut-outs so you can customize it any way you like. I'm going to make slots to carry some lipos and a few other things. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it set up.

Go to RXSYS and change from C2 to C1. Then shut the radio off and back on, go back to that menu to confirm it changed "thumbsup"

jdawg53 09-04-2010 04:58 PM

It is important that you shut the radio off and then turn it back on. Otherwise it will not change.

Hey I followed the video for setting up 2 esc's for my XR-10 and now if I hit front dig my rear motor spins in reverse and same happens if I hit my rear dig with the front motor. Now if I run my 3rd channel sub trim at +25 it stops all this but my rear motor in 4wd is twice as fast as my front and also creates a ton of stall in my front motor. I played with a bunch of settings but could only get one issue to leave but creating a new one any ideas what to try?

First, recalibrate your ESC throttle positions.

Then the easiest thing to do is start with a new model memory and retry. Sounds like you had some pre-existing settings in there or missed something in the setup.
