  3. If you want to use the DT1 skip to the next step. If you want to use DT2,3 or 4 than use the CH button to switch to these buttons.
  4. Use the +/- to change the value to 3C (so it will read DT1-3C)
  5. Now use the SEL button to scroll to DT1 with STP in the top right corner
  6. If you want to use the DT1 skip to the next step. If you want to use DT2,3 or 4 than use the CH button to switch to these buttons.
  7. Use the +/- to change the numerical value until is says 3p (standing for 3 position).

THATS IT!!!

Any questions just ask. I will also have the video posted ASAP.
It might be answered in the video, but is it easy to set end points once you set up the 3 position switch?

And THANKS!!!! for helping us out with the radio

I hope mine will be in tomorrow so I can try and break more than my wallet...

Sorry no. This radio does not have the same mixing controls like the 4PK does. This radio is basically just like a DX3R but half the price

How to set the EPA for the 3rd Channel
  1. Turn on the radio
  2. Press the SEL button to enter the menu
  3. Press the SEL button until EPA is displayed
  4. Press the CH button until the display reads EPA-3C
  5. You will notice that it says LFU or RBD above the text. This denotes EPA's in the left and right direction (as denoted by the arrow displayed)
  6. Now use the +/- to adjust the value from 0-100%
  7. Repeat for both left and right directions

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK! I am happy to answer any questions. I do ask that you try and keep them in this thread though as PM's are very hard for me to keep up with.

I am the one local to Josh that got one yesterday. Once you go through it and see it all it is pretty easy. I thought I was having radio programming issues but it was a bad servo and lost programming in my ESC.

And now begins the agonizing 10 hour wait for me to be able to watch this since work blocks youtube

But, maybe LHS will call me that my radio is here and I can be happy again

It's nothing special, it's just incase yo don't understand my text instructions or you are more of a visual person.

When I search for this on Tower Hobby it shows me a 3PM-X not MX. It looks the same so I'm guessing the write up is wrong? Gotta get me one of these.
