do you think this is appearance of the radios or is the gt3b more solid I keep hearing pros and cons of both but figured that you have handled both extensively and should have a good opinion what one is better

The GT3C is better in every aspect compared to the gt3b imo....the gt3b is just more well known i think....

Do you think these stick out too far

very nice work and thanks on the recommendation I ended up picking up a orange gt3c I was already leaning towards that direction. Now I cant wait to get it.

$10-20 per pair....i'm not sure what my cost is so its hard to guess on price.

This design needs to change a hair, so i need todo another proto run and test them for awhile. Probably will have alot in stock early january

The height needs to be dropped on that version about .02 then for the low profile, probably be .06 lower than the ones in the picture....i'm also considering another shape/grip.

I have a heyok 3 pos. winch controller wired into my servo.
when going through the REV menu following your steps above i do not get the same options you outline.

i will list, in order the options i get. and let me know anywhere it doesnt seem right to you.

1. long click on REV (now blinking small 1, and showing TR1)

2.i scroll to small 'd' and CH3, with the 'd' flashing.

3. short click with Enter and 'd' is solid with CH3 blinking.

4. short click Enter again. and it goes to the d BMO, (with MO flashing)

so pretty much at step 4 i get a completely different string of options, and am not sure what to do next. I just want either the dr CH3, the CH3 trim to be my 3 pos. winch controller.

I did just read some of the past pages, but having a hard time following. do you mind typing the clicks up for me man?

thanks again. loving the new radio

Thats pretty much all you need, have you tried it yet?

hey man i tried this, but when using the CH3 trim the screen goes from +100 in one direction and -100 when pressed in the other direction, and zero in neutral.

but the servo doesnt do anything.

i tried mess with the dual rates of channel 3 to make it work. while in the D/R menu anything above or below 40 in both directions makes the servo move, but when i exit the menu, and try to use the CH3 trim switch the screen says the +/- 100, but the servo does nothing.

any ideas?

Are your EPA's for for ch3 at 100 or 120%?

Try plugging in your steering servo into ch3 and see what happens

EPA for channel three is set for about 30% in both directions. should it be something else?

I switched the channels, and the servo goes in full rotation in both directions using the steering wheel on the TX. the steering servo, when using the channel 3 button, goes from neutral to full right when the button is clicked.
however i thought i had channel 3 mapped to the CH3 Trim as a 3 position switch. that doesnt make anything happen...

any ideas?

It needs to be 100% or 120%

In your previous description it says you assigned d/r switch to channel 3
