While thinking about it, it may not be possible with this particular setup. This would be due to only one channel actually being mixed normally. The second mix only comes on when you want to cancel out the actions of channel 2.

So if you want to mix the front motor you may have to revert to my old setup.

I still do not suggest adding the front motor mixing. It just isn't something that is going to be useful on course in a timely manor.

I will still grab my radio as soon as I have a spare minute and check it out.

Off the top of my head, I think all you'll need to do is pick a DT button, assign the 4th channel to it. Set the increment to adjust to 100, basically a 3 position switch. Adjust the endpoints and you're set

For some odd reason I thought we were talking about the XR10 cut brake. Long day at work, my bad

Edit, I fixed my post, check it.

As soon as the cutting brakes are available I will have the setup posted

Yeah I sure was wasn't I .

Anyway, Do you know if Futaba has plans to release a new, smaller/lighter 3 channel Rx? I'm pretty sure that I won't have cutting brakes on the Berg and a nice small 3ch Rx would be really cool to have. Not to mention it would be nice for all of my race stuff too.

I haven't. Been thinking about it though and I believe that to do it you will need to go to the old setup. Since there is no mix controlling the front motor except when in rear dig.
