| On top of that, look at the difference in price of the receivers. If you're going to outfit 3 or 4 trucks, it ads up even more.

Since I have already bought mine even if an update comes into affect I won't be able to change it, so I'm hoping I'll either just be able to live with it or swap the wiring on the switch around a bit. Kieren |

I think you'll just have to get your button pushing speed up Start practicing. It may be a bigger deal to others, but nothing you couldn't adapt too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8tFQeewYeI Last edited by Sneed; 10-31-2010 at 08:27 AM. Reason: Added video |

Is there a Way to run Dual ESC's Mixed so you can Dial down either one and have DIG's like normal. I don't care about having Cutting brakes at this time.

Cannot wait to hear back from you. A good review from you can easily be make or break for this controller.

I think it's like this, Push once and your in rear, push again and your in front, push again and your in 4wd. |

It's pretty clear in the vid that what I described is what is going on... |

Just trying to understand what the issue is. Is it that the one button toggle is easy to mix up?

| The issue is that you will have to keep track of where you are and where you want to be to remember how many times to push the button to get from here to there. Quick digs are very important and although it is possible to "get used to it" I can say that I wont be switching to something that isnt perfect.

Maybe futaba did this so if you needed this you had to get the 4pk? but someone could make up some sort of circuit with a array of relays that will give the needed pulses per position, or possibly maybe some sort of encoder

| If i ever do buy one it will be to hack it up (sorry i already thought about it)(wantasummit will probably beat me too it though), right now i have a more functional radio than this and i built it for less than i could buy this so i am happy, i just like to stay up to date with all the newest stuff. But the thing is futaba purposely left out features. it is almost a guarantee that production costs between the 4pl and the 4pk are very similar/close. So by changing the functionality they can charge more or less even if they cost the same to make for both.

Ok, pity you can't plug it in to the likes of a caslte link or similar sort of thing. Can you chose which DT you use for the dig? If so could you not put it on one of the 3 position trims around the wheel so that you set it something like below. One Click left - Front Dig One Click Right - 4WD Another Click Right - Rear Dig Click Left - 4WD? That kinda sounds like how you were doing it in the video actually. If that is how it is that really isn't a bug, that is fine? Cheers Kieren |

You cannot use the Dual ESC programming with a DT switch. That is what I am asking Futaba to update. You could do it with a punk dig style setup, just not this programming.
