Default Airtronics RDS8000?

Will this remote give me all the options for a super? I want to set it up for front and rear dig, full independent steering for front and rear steer with EPA points. and everything else i forgot to mention. Thanks in advance for the feedback. I tried calling Airtronics but customer service is close and email havent received a feedback.

You'll need 2 esc's to run front and rear dig...I can imagine that the 8000 would be able to do anything you can throw at it. I'm patiently waiting the arrival of mine

You don't have to have dual ESCs to have front and rear DIG. Check out the Berg section.....being done all the time with 1 ESC.

Not familiar with this radio.

I have been reading this manual....but cannot find if the THROTTLE has a spring return? or if it is RATCHETING? I only ask this because I currently run a Sprktrum DX6, and before doing the spring return mod to the throttle, it was VERY difficult to control...and obviously would not return to nuetral when the stick was released. This can be VERY frustrating.


EDIT ***** FOUND IT!!! Page 12 of the manual. The throttle is NOT spring loaded.....only ratcheted. Research into adding a spring mod to this would be required.

The crawler version comes with centering gimbals installed. Airtronics will also sell the parts to convert it yourself, if you get the airplane or heli version.

I guess you could use switches for front/rear dig...It boils down to personal preference.
