|  Mod 2 wire 3rd channel to 3 pos. is it possible?
Ace cougar ps3 2.4ghz/ 2 wire momentary 3rd channel. Can it be modded to 3pos. switch for winch operation? I didn't if you could add a wire to the servo rev. switch to spool out/in, or if there are 3 spots on the circuit where you can add the extra wire? Also this radio doesn't have a trim for third channel. Might just scrap this project and use radio on something else.

If you want to get into modifying the 3rd channel then it may be possible to make it a 3 position...It all depends on how the board in the radio is setup. You may be able to put a pot in rather than the switch to have proportional control of the channel, that would let you have control over the speed of the winch. You would have to use one of the grounds on the board as the 3rd connection to dump the extra voltage. You could do something similar with a 3 position switch with a trim pot to vary the voltage in the centered position then one end would be no voltage and the other end would be straight through. Most radios (to my knowledge) use 0V-6V so lets say 0V would be one end and 3V(adjusted with the trim pot) would be the middle and then 6V would be the other end. You could also put 3 trim pots in if you wanted to control the end points on all three positions...Again I cant be certain that this would work with your particular radio but it may be worth a shot. Maybe one of the electrical gurus will see this and verify that it would work, on a $30 radio if you really want to do it and are willing to spend some time testing it out and $10-15 on some switches and pots you could have a cool custom radio. You may be able to find some similar ideas in some of the other threads on adding end points to different radios or converting to 3 position...Most of the concepts should work on any radio. And just to satisfy you I bought a Husky to ride on the street because it is fun as hell on the roads we have here... Hope that helps.  |

Not to interrupt..... read the tq3 radio thread, and that should give you an idea of what is possible. As far as applying it to your exact radio, pop it open and see what looks similar.
