Default Dig compatibily for DX3S

I have a DX3S with a 2 position 3rd channel for my AX10. I would like to see how I can get a dig to function with just 2 positions (no free wheel).

I heard one of my crawler buddies saying PunkRC has a 2 positon dig but I'm not sure how it works since the ones on their website are for dual motor rigs?

Its easy, set the endpoints on your aux channel to be in the two positions that you want...I dont have an axial but i think that it is 4wd-freewheel-locked so set your endpoints for the outer two positions and it should work perfectly.

It is that simple. I was running my Axial with an HR dig on a 3PM, you have dig and 4WD, no free-wheel...

It will work but it will only have 2 positions because the 3rd channel is only a two position switch.

On a LCC you can have front dig/4wd or rear dig/4wd but not all three.

Yes a dx3s can work with dig...only two positions though like you said. You can get 4wd and locked rear/front dig or 4wd and rear freewheel.

Punk rc makes digs for moa crawlers, not what you want.

You need a mechanical dig that bolts up to your trans, servo mount, servo to shift the dig and possibly modify your rear driveshaft. Vp makes a great axial dig and servo mount.

You can only have two positions and as long as you are cool with that it will work perfectly fine.

Lol...yeah that's what I thought having a 2 position 3rd channel isn't that hard to setup a dig...I want to set it up with no free wheel.

I know the DNA dig and the VP Hurtz dig both fit on my VP Incision chassis so I can use either of them right?
