Default 3 position switch on spektrums

I want to put dig on my AX10 scorpion and was wondering which 3 channel spektrum radio would have a 3 position switch. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Crap,
So, I bought the DX3.0 for nothing? I am installing a 2 speed tranny on my rig, will this radio not work? I have a winch I wanna run too, but, I can do that manually. Thanks for any help.

I am wondering the same thing. Can the 3.0 be used for 3 positions? Like for the new losi 1/10 dig?

The 3.0 has a 2 positiuon 3rd channel so I should work fine for a 2 speed transmission.

if you want the option of more channels(for future use)... look at the Dx6i... they are around 179...

EDIT::i saw greasemonkey's post... the Dx6i does not have 3 pos switches... but you could use the extra channel on one the sticks for your dig( mechanical type) or if you run an electro-dig... you can program it in...

Well, found my answer for the 2 speed tranny I want to run. I can use the third channel for it. I just have to adjust the end points and make sure the settings are zero before I install the servo.

Hope everyone's issue gets resolved.

DX3R is the way to go IMO, super easy to adjust and all the features i can ask for.

DX6 or DX6i....MIX channels to get 3 positions for the dig controlled by ch 5 and 6. This is how I do 3 position dig on my shafty. Will also use mixing for the TX dig on my Bully. I am a HUGE stick radio fan for crawling...lots of flexibility. Throttle return on the DX6i will require sending in the radio to HORIZON to do the mod unless you can source the parts. The DX6 can be modded at home...EASY.
