I thought that 4PK and 3PK had pretty much identical software, but it seems I can't find 2nd cond in my 3PK.

I have a 3PK Super and use it to control 4WS, and I really want to use 2nd cond to apply crab walk, so the question is: Does the 3PK lack the 2nd cond feature, or is it just my RTFM-skills that suck?

The 3pk doen't have 2nd cond as far as I can figure out.

This is the way I have my 3PK set up:

no dig, rear steer in the 3rd channel spot.

I have the small thumb switch (PS2) set up to engage/disengage a mixing function to turn the rear wheels proportionate to the fronts in the opposite direction (tight turning radius) This switch stays on till you press it again (doesn't need to be held)

I also have the PS1 switch on the bottom of the steering wheel set up to engage the 2nd mixing function to crabwalk the rear wheels proportionately to the fronts. You have to hold it to engage

I have DL2 (lower dial on the grip) set up for independent control of the rear steer if needed.

this setup makes me look like a much better super driver than I really am.

Glad I could help. Good luck and don't tell any of the spektrum users how much better the 3PK is. I need as many advantages as I can get.

Check out my youtube video of how I set up my clod with the 3pk..

Hope this helps

Every single tip helps. I spent some time experimenting with tiltmixing (boat mode), but because I was unable to program any of the buttons to enable/disable tilt mix the idea was discarded.

I've come to the point where I have all the functions I want, but I'll keep trying to simplify everything for a little longer.

Yeah no second condition but it has mixing. i will have to look at my settings on old radio but pretty sure i had it setup for traditional and crab steering, with dig
Not sure though
