need some help with dig
 

big time newb here plz help..whats up guys upgrading my rig so im looking for some help.i got a dual outcry esc and a rocker dig and im not sure how this is to be connected ? i know on the dig unit the 4 motor wires will go to motors but there is on 2 wires that go to the esc but on the dual esc there is 4 wires to motors only 2 of them will hook up to the dig , unless im supposed to make some type of jumper wires for other 2 wires? does this make sence or was i supposed to get a single motor esc to do this ? please help...chris1

it would be better to have the single motor one since there will be less wires around. you should be able to hook the dig to just one set of motor leads and leave the others alone

ok i got them to hook up together but now how do i get it to switch ? front steering is hooked to #1 on rx the esc to #2 #3 i was told to use for the dig and #4 has the bec plugged in it. somethings throwing me off.if any one has any info it would be greatly appreciated thanks chris1
i am still using my stock tx rx too its a redcat rs10 with a 3 ch tx and a 4 ch rx.

What radio are you using btw??

cheap stock 1 its a lansu 3td .:lmao:

Steering channel-1...OK
Throttle channel-2...OK
Dig channel-3...OK


BEC, usually direct to the steering servo....not dealing with that now.

If the servo dig is set up/wired correctly, "neutral" on channel-3 should power both motors.
Tripping your "dig switch" on the TX should move the dig servo one way or the other. Depending on how the dig is wired, when switched you should have power to one motor or the other.

Does the rig move at all?
Do both motors turn in the same direction or does one turn opposite?

BTW, I run a 2.2 Bully rig with a single ESC (CC MM) and a servo dig. I'm NOT an expert, but I have a similar set-up to yours."thumbsup"

3rd ch is in N .showing it has power to dig and both motors but no frt steering .does move in both directions.

Can you post a pic of your set up?

Ummm....OK, you started off with no dig working but now it's no steering?
If so, swap the steering & throttle plugs at the RX, see if steering works but throttle dosen't. This lets us know if it's a servo or radio issue.

gonna have to get new radio... thanks for looking and all your help.chris1

Guess this means it's a RX channel not the servo??:cry:

not to sure.others in the redcat section say the dig unit i have will not work on channel 3 of my stock radio. so did some research and found i need a radio that has a 3 position 3rd ch. as i looked all morning long and i got a phone call saying my radio came in yesterday. i forgot that i had ordered a radio (airtronic mx3x ):lmao: duh so im hoping someone will chime in and help me set it up tomarrow night. the lhs guy isnt into crawlers so ill need some oversite....thanks chris1"thumbsup"
