does the xr4 have 3 pos switches on the 3rd and 4th chs?

make something to mix the 2nd and 3rd channel for a dx3r

Yea i'll have to look into that, i think the 3r uses a digital 3rd ch which i don't know much about how to mod, and spektrum keeps their stuff locked up tight so it will even be harder to come up with a mod. But i will look once i find someone willing to let me operate on their 3r, lol.

3 POS for DX3S would be nice, my buddy said he figured it out, but the parts he ordered never showed up.

Well I have an idea on how but I need to pull a 3s apart and see how exactly the 3rd ch works.

I should have backlights ready to go in a month, and hopefully tq mods in a month or two, as for the 3 low mod for the 3s it may be a few months. If my idea works

Yes.

Im almost positive that it isnt possible to add a 3 position to a DX3s, its the software that doesnt allow it.

I'm almost positive that I can do it but there may be unwanted symptoms, so I,d have to have a switch to turn it off:

[losikid]

So for the above mods what would you guys be willing to pay?

Yea i've looked at it before, i'll just have to stop being a cheap scape and buy 1 to test, lol.

[losikid]

So i got tq3 3rd ch mod designed, 3 pos toggle, epas, and easy install. I know not many need this mod but what would be a decent price?

I also i have a theory to get the dual esc control on the tq3 which i'm 95% positive that it will work but i'm having problems finding direct replacement parts . So i can't test it yet. Opinions on price tag would be nice as well so i know how much i got to spend on parts

Ok, I posted in the other thread but I think this is what I want.

I would like a 4 channel radio stick or pistol, with 3 pos switches on 3 and 4 with epa's on all channels.

All I want to do is run a scaler with 2 winches. I would probably prefer pistol but shoot me a price both way if you can do it.




Thanks,Randy

Well if you build it $70 if I build it I,d do 170 + s&h

You would have (4) 3 pos switches available 3 pos switches, now I don't know the frame rate on my radios so that may give you problems

Not trying to bash ya or anything but for $170 I would rather spend a little extra and buy something like the 4PL that has all those options and even comes with a warranty.

Well that's why I will be offering a kit. I'm not into handing out 10 hours worth of labor for nothing, and yes it would have a partial warranty, dependent what caused the problem either I will, or you would have to buy parts (determined by me). Labor is free either way though.

Oh 4pl don,t have 6 channels and $15 rx's

Sorry I was basing my response off racerrandy's post.

Would be great for someone who doesnt mind doing the work themselfs though
