| 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

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. | |

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. | |
