Default Futaba 3PM-MX w/ Dual Tekin FX-R Setup?

I tried searching and read through a bunch of posts but couldn't find anything helpful. I currently have a Tekin FX-R that I was using with the Punk Dig (dig stop digging, sent an email Tuesday and haven't heard back yet) so I'm thinking about buying a second FX-R and going with a dual ESC setup. Does anyone have any programing tips/ setups for running dual ESCs with the 3PM-MX? Thanks in advance.

the futaba 3pmx doesnt have any software in the radio to support dual esc's but you may want to check out wantasummit's dual esc adapter for the 3pmx in this same section

So even though it has programmable mixing it can't really be setup for running dual ESCs?

Did you ever get the 3pm-mx dual ESC thing figured out? I am now wanting the answer to the same question. I don't have the ESC's or crawler to try it out with yet, but I see no reason mixing the throttle channel with channel 3 would not work.

I was unable to find the info I was looking for either via searching.

You really need a WannAmix to do dual ESC's on a 3PM-x.
I am currently running a single CC MM & a servo dig, but have a 2nd CC ESC & WannAmix. Likely going in this weekend.

Check out Harleys 3PM-x thread. Everything you ever wanted to know about it.

Thread here.... Futaba 3PM-MX Crawling Radio - Info and setups

LosiKid is now selling the WannAmix..... check the vendors section.

Default 3pmx

it will work with dual esc's, you just wont have front-rear bias. but you will have front and rear dig on dt3 and or dt4.

Alright, I've a 3pmx, 2 x fxr's moa - I can't figure the wiring setup. I know proportional mixing is not possible, but how do I get front rear freewheel dig only with my setup?
