With a mechanical dig that is moved by a servo you really do want epas or else while you are digging the servo will be under a lot of stress and will probably burn out quickly. I am surprised that RC4WD didnt put epa's on 3 and 4, they should know better...

There are a bunch of threads on how to add epa's to different radios, that may be the way to go. It doesnt seem that hard, if you can wire up a crawler seems like you should be able to do it.

Here is a post on adding the epa's to a tq3
My Modded TQ3 Update - Added EPA pots

It is from this thread, may be worth while to read through it...

I hope that helps!

Nice, with the extra $20 or $40 to add EPA's to the radio you could about buy one with EPA's and save space in your rig.

Way to go RC4WD!
