| Big Bear test drove one of my production dig switches yesterday. He was impressed with the product and I was impressed with his driving. Well I took a video and just uploaded it onto youtube. It can be seen here and here on our store. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sR6-V1T5ko http://www.punkrc.com His use of dig is amazing!!! His use of dig made a impossible line possible. Totally awesome! Thanks! ![]() These units will be shipping tomorrow. Last edited by PunkRC; 05-01-2009 at 06:53 AM. |

| Forgive me, but I'm a little slow sometimes. Is this unit using the 3rd ch pulse to energize/de-energize the relay for each motor to start/stop? |

Make sence? So instead of moving a servo, you are turning on and off relays. Most TX's are programmed to control a 3rd channel servo different. In this video, Big Bear uses a button to toggle to "click" the servo/dig switch into different positions. | |

| Looking great Robin. I can't wait to get mine. Looks like the modifications you made did the trick. |

| Well, each mode has a "range", but for most respects, No it does not matter. You just need to make sure that it actually moves away from center more than a tiny bit (maybe 10°). A 100% throw is great! |

| Yeah, Big Bear really liked it. It locks them up really good, but still allows for a tiny movement. He said that is what is needed. It was awesome to see him really crawl with it too. I thought "Wow you couldn't have done that without dig" |

My preference would be to connect both motors to the dig switch and use the radio endpoints. That way the wiring is cleaner and I don't need to change anything when I get a radio with a 3 position 3rd channel. Thanks | |

| If you can (maybe also narrow endpoints and) trim off center and make a servo move from a near center position to one side, then you are in luck. I will see if I can just trim my TQ3 to do this. I'm sure you can get it setup just how you want. If not, I do accept returns. |
