Yup!!! I've seen the same issue with my GT3C foam. Thanks for the 2224 tip! | |

Yeah, thanks. That one-hand jobber is pretty cool, but it's easy to scale an item down a few percent with most printing & modeling programs.

| Re: GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread I know, I tried that, but still had the problem of the original foam sliding left to right and back and sliding back and forth. It is justtoo narrow and a bit too wide. For me replacing the foam with the Traxxas one solved the problem without the need to resize the one-hand jobber.

Hi all, I am in need of a bit of help. I have read a TON of this thread, but have not come across anyone with my particular problem, or at least no solution that has worked for me. I am trying to load the firmware to a GT3C. Using a relatively new Windows 10 machine, a little acer netbook. As per Overkill's instructions I have downloaded the visual programmer, and the patch file for it. I've got a USB st v2 programmer, and I have soldered the pins into the board. And it doesn't bloody work. when I plug it in the radio starts beeping away like I understand they all do, but every time I try to read the code, or flash the new firmware I get a "cannot communicate with board" message. The light on the ST V2 blinks so it seems to be doing something, and I get the usual windows jingle when I plug it in and unplug it. I have spent 2 hours fiddling with this, googling it, and finding all sorts of conflicting advice as to what may be the problem. anyone know of anything that could be causing this? The only thing I am not 100% sure on is the order of the wires as Overkill plays a bit coy about it in those old instructions as he was selling kits at the time and didn't want to give the farm away. I'll attach a photo of how I have it setup. https://imgur.com/a/0vNYwQa |

I believe I ran into a similar issue as you Blaize a few months back. after much frustration, the last thing I tried was restarting my computer and trying all over again. That probably "finished" the install of the software. It all of sudden worked for me after doing that.

Thanks man, but I have been at this 3 days so far. I've rebooted and restarted over a dozen times. Just tried again and still no dice. I am beginning to think it may be a windows 10 problem as I have found a few other people who have run into these sorts of problems and digging out an old win 7 pc would fix it. Sadly I am all mac aside from this netbook that I only own for stuff like this. That or perhaps |I got a duff programmer. At £5 I may just order another and see if that makes any difference. Mabye a blue one next time.....

Seems like I have seen in this thread before that Windows 10 is problematic.

I am having an issue downloading the latest firmware. When I click the link here http://www.overkillrc.com/GT3B/GT3B-...gt3b-0.6.1.s19 I just get a web page of text. No download or anything. Anyone seen this?

It may seem dumb and not sure if this is the case been a while since I hacked one but I think the radio will be beep and light up etc with the usb hooked up without batteries in it, are there batteries in it? I did this once pretty sure so that's why I'm asking lol

So, I have the gt3c hacked and working. I have the 8ch Rx and a 3ch Rx. I can find them but nothing works. No steering, throttle. I set it for 8 ch in the settings. Anyone have some ideas or tips. I read through the hack manual and it just talks about the secret menus and what does what. |

Hi all, Unfortunately, in the PSX firmware guide I found online, the section for channel mixes hasn't been completed. Therefore, does anyone know how I could achieve a tank-steer/ v-tail mix between the steering and throttle channels on a hacked GT3B? Its for a fighting robot and I'd rather not have a separate mixer in the robot as I've known them to mess with the required fail-safe. Cheers Dan |
