i just want a simple 2.4 rx & tx with a true 3 position 3rd ch. with EPA's to operate my dig servo. i have a new traxxas 4 ch., but learned that the toggle is not a 3 position (for single servo) and has no EPA's. Is it really junk? |

Hold the phone, i think i just found a solution. Electronics guys are the bomb! http://wantasummit.com/default.aspx Will look into this more. Interested in how it works. i guess you adjust the three pots with the toggle on the RX? |

ive got the xr4....For the price it is well worth it, have not had a single problem with it and I like the location of the 3rd channel switch much more than like the dx3e |

The Radio doesn't have EPA's on the 3rd and 4th Channel... So if you ran running a Digital Servo on those Channels. You will need one of these.. http://www.servocity.com/html/180o_servo_stretcher.html So for a Super.. Channel 3 can be used with a PUNK DIG Channel 4 use this with a Rear Steering Servo For a XR10 Channel 3 PunkDig Channel 4 Use this and a Servo for Cutting Brakes. XR4 -4 Channel Rc4wd Radio http://www.jpcustomrcs.com/catalog/i...89/8177233.htm I have been using this on my 1.9 Comp Rig. No Problems at all. Feels nice in the hand and controls very easy. http://www.jpcustomrcs.com/catalog/i...89/8385128.htm Last edited by run2jeepn; 11-02-2010 at 10:58 PM. |

The XR4 would give you 4WS and DIG... If you have a Shafty you would need two of those Servo Stretchers. If you running a MOA. You should only need one to run the Rear Servo for Rear Steer. | |

i have a tq2.4 4ch (use it on my summit) and wanted to use the radio for my venom creeper with dig and remote diff lock. the adaptor works perfect for getting a true 3-pos 4th channel. if you already have the radio it's worth the $30 versus a whole new radio. | |
