Also, if you didn't notice the "Product Help" link in the lower left hand corner, here it is

Product Help

I'm going to try and do a small write up a couple times a week till i get it all done. Once i get the firmware section complete i'll probably make some durable booklets of it to keep in your parts box

Very cool, this radio will be in my "wish list" for the wife to see

Sorry for the stupid newb question, but this will allow lights, winch, dig, etc to be functional from the tx/rx?

And the additional RX will plug into an AE-2 allowing multiple channels?

Hi!
When I activate front dig my rear motor starts to make a noise, like the motors make when you are pulling the throttle just a little bit.
And when activating rear dig my front motor makes same noise.

My ESCs are both programmed the same way none of them in reverse.
My rear motor have the end bell turned 180 degrees.

My radio settings:
Ch2 Reverse
Ch3 Normal

Should i turn the endbell back to 0 degrees and change Ch3 to Reverse or turn the front motor to 180 degrees and flip the Ch2 to normal?

you need to calibrate the radio.

Yes and no

An additional rx is just an extra rx to be used in a different car

Thanks!

If my voltage shows correctly, comparing what the radio says and what my battery charger says do i need to go though the voltage part of the calibration or is it just to press enter again?

Or could i even use what my battery charger tells me and scroll to that voltage in the TX?

Also, I´m looking for RX that have the connectors laying down instead of the upright?
I did see the RX post but it was a long time since the last update =)

You don't need to to worry about the voltage if it is still accurate.

Ok got a question for you. I know I can mix 2 esc's to control a motor each, but here is the catch. I want to use the motors to steer the vehicle. Kinda like a zero turn lawn mower or an rc tank. Can I use the trigger to move forward and back and mix in the steering wheel to speed up or slow the esc's to steer the vehicle?

While most of us are very close to our crawlers when driving, I've been ~120' away with no issues in an open area. No clue how much further I could have gone.

thanks Charlie-III, I as well am usually with my crawler, but I am wanting to have multiple rigs and only one transmitter if possible. I guess I should check on model memory on these radios eh? haha

I managed to program the 3ch trim for separate rear steering, but it's pretty hard to use, so I would like to have also 4WS mix that I could enable with 3ch button, so it would be easier to use 4WS, because I rarely need to use only the separate rear steering.

So is it possible to have it that way, and if it is, how do I program it? I can't figure it out how to get them both to work at the same time...
