hey harley, do you have any programming secrets for the 4pks with a novak m2 dig? I have tried your dual esc setup, and the punk dig setup neither have worked. Is it the futaba or could it be the programming in the novak?

Well Novak's instruction seem to be garbage. I honestly don't see how they are controlling the mixing. I will need more info before I can give a walk through. I do urge you though to ditch that thing and get to good quality ESC's. |

| The 4PK can do it but I just can't find what the buttons need to be programmed as. The instructions on their site are pretty poor. If I could find some better instructions I could tell you exactly how to do it.

If you do want the MMP's, ebay is your only option now, unless you have found a store that has them in stock. Most sites are sold out. I was able to get two new in box MMP's just had to buy from two different stores. They are working great with the 4pks and I forgot how smooth Castle's ESC were. Nice change from the Fx-R I had been running in the comp rig for almost 2 years. Also, i setup my Cherokee's winch using Harley's winch demo video. Works like a champ. | |

The novak tech guy says i need to have a 3 pos. switch in order for this to work. I have not come accross anything in the book that tells you how to assign a switch to be 3 position. Someone needs to write a futaba for dummies book that better explains the functions of the radio.

To program a 3 position switch simply go to the dial menu. Select the DT switch you want to use. Set the value to - CH3 : 100/NOR That's all there is to programming a switch to 3 positions. | |

harley you are a true master of the futaba, the dig function now works, however, I cannot use the proportional function to operate the motors at individual speeds. Maybe i need to set up mixing function on channel 2? thanks for all of your help, futaba hasn't even replied yet. have a merry christmas rob |

Maybe someone can help me I have a 3pk and am using dual esc's, they are the mmp's. I did the set-up that Harley showed on his video(by the way thank you very much for doing that!) but am having a problem with dig. I set-up the front dig to work on ps.1 and rear dig on the grip button. If I accidentally hit both digs so I have No throttle at all, then let's say click on front dig(ps.1) it switches, it then acts as rear dig instead of front. Same thing happens if i were to click on grip button it will act as front dig instead of rear. Once I get front and rears both turned back on it goes back to normal settings Any ideas of what to check for I would appreciate much thanks

That is how it is supposed to work. Think of the buttons as turning the motors on and off. If you turn them both off and then hit PS1 again (the button you use to to turn on or off the rear motor to get front dig) then you have the front off still but have turned the rear back on. You just have to used to the radio and not turning things off. There are still people that turn both motors off but most people get used to it and don't ever have a problem. Quote:

since the harley fix allowed me to have a 3 pos. switch, and the original setup for two esc's allowed me to change the front and rear motor speeds independantly, is there a way to combine these two features? could i take the two esc set up and use the 4th channel to create the 3 pos. switch? rob |
