Yay!! do have a link or know the template.

[losikid]

Pretty much same as dual esc, except go to "4" in the e.point menu. And select 4WS instead of DIG as your function when assigning switches

I searched all over your website just now and couldn't find this w/o the link. Maybe add this to page 1 of the thread too...

I copy pasted dual esc down to 3 postion and just edited it, forgot to say % channel movment, not % mix change

I'm not hateful at you man

REx is reverse off (0) or reverse on (1) which switches the direction of the switch
ORx is Opposite reset off (0) or opposite reset on (1) , this makes it so if you click the switch the other way from the way you just clicked it goes back to center, not mater how many clicks to the right, one click left goes to center

c= channel 3 button
b= back button
e= end button

if you turn 1,2,3,d to OFF, you get 1 with a left arrow, 1 with a right arrow, 2 with a left arrow....this makes it so each individual key can be assigned

These arn't mentioned on the help cards, because they were simply there to get a basic switch programmed.

Ah man that's some good stuff!

I'm on fire now but I can't get my RC4wd winch to work yet my servo winch works awesome though

I have this one... Bulldog 9300XT Scale Winch (RED)

I need to look around, but i may have a steering pot for you, if it is indeed a pot going out.

Very cool...
Well it has the same problem on 3 rigs, it is most noticeable on my Wraith. It seems to start out not as bad then it gets worse as it gets hot or something. I admit at the track I found myself wrenching on the wheel, I'd notice when the plastic started creaking I was having handling problems with my SCTe navigating the super tight infield part of the lhs track. I was trying to make up for this by using the death grip

Oh and most importantly the new GT3 is fine so that rules out rx's

If you find one let me know, and if you think it might be something else in the tx I'm listening...

Thanks
Speed

Any thoughts on the winch?

this link here, does not work for you?

Does the winch work with another radio?

Gotcha, I found it on the first page of the thread too. Idk maybe "Instructions for version 6.1" was more of what I was looking for... personally an archive is where I put things I don't need anymore but don't want to delete. Regardless all I'm just saying is I couldn't find it and neither could my buddy. Not really criticizing just saying it's not stupid-proof enough

Back to the winch, no I have never seen it work right. Should it have worked with a stock GT3? Only way to reverse the winch is to swap polarity.

Ok I just got a GT3C.. I have the 3ch receiver.. I'm going to run dual esc's in my xr10, so I want dig, and esc mixing.. If I get a 6ch receiver, Where would my 2nd esc plug into.. I heard you can program each receiver channel so i can have proportional dig. If it matters, I will be using a bec..

any reason you want a 6ch RX on an XR10? the 3CH would work fine for dual ESC MOA.

[Jsnacker]

Yeah it will work.. But I won't be able to have dig..

[benoj]

You still would have dig. Ch1 steering, ch2 esc1, ch3 esc2, batt is for bec, or run the bec to the servo only and have one esc power the rx. That's how I have my xr10

+1, same set-up on my XR-10 with dual CC Sidewinder Micros, 35T motors, 3S & external BEC direct to the servo.

I'm running a hacked GT3B, 0.4.1 firmware and the "dual ESC, locked dig" template.

I used my GT3C hacked controller a lot this weekend and it would randomly beep at me with nothing flashing or different showing up on the screen. It still worked fine but then it just started turning off, but the throttle would be stuck at where it was when it turned itself off. A quick push if the power button would reset thing and it would work fine again. Any ideas?

Another bug I'm seeing is when running on my 4ws buggy the rear steer gets really lazy sometimes or will get stuck until I let off of the throttle. I'm running a HH BRXL, integy 55t motor and hi-tec 645mg servos. No BEC currently with this setup. This is also a random thing that usually happens when my Lipo is running at around half charge.

I've got the same setup on my gt3b though without issue. These things started with the radio swap.

[Charlie-III]

BB, I would say to check the battery meter on the TX, I know the GT3B has a calibration for the low power alarm. This will require a meter.
Also look at your on/off switch wiring. A number of earlier GT3C's would rip the wires off the switch.
