| Do you have a GT3B?
Looking for people who have a gt3b. Working on a few projects and one of them is a 3 pos diy mod package which will include programmer, all the stuff to do it, real easy and simple instructions. Just wondering what priority level i need to set on this, as it'll be a big chunk of change to order programmers in bulk |

| no only the gt3b...i'll also offer pimped out gt3b's too, install bearings, install firmware, install aux switches and such, free update programming service (just pay shipping). But diy comes first beings the custom 3b's will be more popular once firmware allows mixing, then some difficult modding will be needed.

I have one. After throwing a 3s lipo in, and installing a foam grip, it's awesome. The range totally destroys my Spekky radios. I'd like to see some stuff that you have done. |

The programmer will write to firmware to the radio which will let a 3 pos switch be added to the 3rd channel. It also fixes epa's, expo, trim, etc. And it'll even allow you to extend pass the standard max epa's so you can get more servo throw...if the servo is capable of it. Also (not soon) the firmware will support dual esc mixing and 4ws mixing...and possibly up to 8 channels. I'm not writing this firmware, so i have no ideas when it'll be updated for mixing stuff, but 3 pos should be here real soon. | |

I've been thinking about getting 1 or 2 and the programmer, if you offer a kit, that would be great. I would order one from you

I have one and need to buy more recievers........... I'd be down for more upgrades, the firmware upgrade was fun to do and a 3 pos. switch would be great. Was it the 9 channel receiver that bound to this radio? Curious how adding mixing and other options with come through with the limited lcd panel. |

Ok so i have parts on the way, to get instructions written up and a finalized parts list on what will be needed. 3 pos should be unlocked in the firmware, but i have to test it and make sure, and mixing is in the works right now i think. There's also a 6ch version of the firmware, i'm going to look into how to adapt this as well into the diy kit, try to make a universal one. I think final shipped price will be around $20-30 and it includes the $15 programmer and all the switches and instructions to make it work. This is about how much you'd spend to have someone flash the firmware so i think its a reasonable price even though the radio only cost $35 I'll have tech and vendor threads up here in a week or two once i have finalized info. |

So 45 bucks and I would be able to use a dig switch the normal way? I would be in on that. My GT3B will be here thursday. No dig yet but plans for it in the future. Justin |

Anyways late next week i should have prices and everything finalized. Along with instructions and a more complete manual than what comes with the firmware. I'm going to try and get a pre-order of 5-10 going because my pockets arn't very deep right now. If anyones interested send me a pm. I will say right now though, the lcd on the gt3b is very limited, so setting it up will require the use of a manual. I'll be sure to make it clear and easy, but it won't be as user friendly as the 4pk/4pl/dx3c/etc. | |

I would buy a GT3B if this makes the light of day.
