Hi
Can Harley or anyone els please show us how to get the 10% increment bias programed to the DT2 button?
A few pages back he (Harley) said he would do a vid , maybe I missed it...
I know he is a busy man & all but I can't figure it out by my lonesome.

Sorry, I am without a radio at the moment but I will do it from memory quick.

Go to the menu and select DIAL SW

Scroll to the list of DT switches

Set the DT switch that you want to control the mixing and change the value to the ESC-R setting

Set the value below that to 10 (meaning 10%)

You will have the original and only software version. If we get an update it will be posted on what to do.

Harley.

Any idea when they will do the update.

I am thinking of getting one from tower hobbies but am not sure if it is the original one or the one with the updates that you have spoken about earlier on in this thread.

Any idea if they are going to do the updates or when.

Thanks

Read the thread..... There is no update as of yet, he's trying to get one, if there is one you will be able to send in your radio and have it updated. Anything you get will be without the update right now.

Will you be able to "add rear" effectively? I have tried sticks before and i am just not comfortable with them. But i really like that you are able to add pressure from the rear tires while turning the fronts slow, mainly in off camber situations. It is possible with the 4pk, correct? Can you use the DT switch to put the rear to say 140% and then back to 90% quick if you needed to?

You could have one DT set for 10% increment for minor adjustments and another set for 30-40% adjustment for quick changes. Also you can only go up to 120% on the 4pl.

Is 120% enough? Seems like it should go to 150% at the least?

So if you set on to 30% increments (and say it was normaly at 90%) it would go to 120% with one click and then back to 90% with 1 click the other way?

120% is enough, until you have driven a dual ESC rig you won't understand how different 20% is.

Definately...

I haven't had my 4pk long, but I have yet to ever need to drop below 80% rear with the proportional. 120% is plenty.

If I remember correctly axial OD or UD compared to stock gears is around 4-5% so that makes 20% A LOT.

Yes exactly.
