Yea, its simple to add lipo, take out the tray and install a deans or whatever plug in its place.

Looking through his site this is interesting

Yea, i think thats gonna be my next personal project

Probably add a blue tooth model to the gt3b and put one in that controller so i can use on or the other and have no physical connection. So leave the gt3b turned on layign near by and just carry that controller

Use the steering thing for steering, the X and [ ] paddles for fwd/reverse, i'll probably use r1/r2 for full dig then use r2/l2 for propo dig. R2 increases L2 decrease and have the dig % displayed there in the center.

I'm hoping to have the programming stuff done by tonight, and posted up for review and comments. I'll still have stuff like table of contents, bind procedures, ch mapping templates, etc.

Yes, this is because the channel starts to overlap into the 2nd channel.

Its not a firmware issue, its a hardware issue. Which can't be fixed cheaply (it be alot cheaper just to get a adapter from servocity)

Hey losikid, I'm in the middle of programming my gt3b. This may sound like a stimulus question, but which firmware do I use? To me, all the choices are written in a different language, lol. There's a lot to choose from and none of them look like v 4.0, v 4.2 ect, thanks man.

0.4.1. Download the file you got in the email from me, and then open that into STVP

actual file name is something like gt3b-ch6-0.4.1.s19 if i remember right

Ok, I've got the radio all done, but it seems as though my 2nd channel doesn't have any signal. If I switch the esc's from Channel 2 to 3 and vise versa, the 3rd channel is the only thing that is opperating on the reciever.

I switched rx's out since I have another, and now my esc try's to calibrate but says that the signal is too weak. I am trying to hook into 2 fxr's with a cc bec set at 6 volts and a fluent 3 channel rx.
