Here it is

GT3B dig problem - YouTube

Now you can see - if i push the dig button the wheels from one axle spin - almost with the same speed...

When i push the dig button i can see on the display this:

d 100% or d -100%
and when i don´t touch the button d 0%

I think thats ok - i don´t understand this

Help

Greets,
Gerry

Make sure ch 2 and 3 trim and/or subtrim is set at zero. Make sure the radio is calibrated, then calibrate the esc's.

The computer is powering the radio not your batteries. The stock firmware beeps when powered through the programmer. You are fine, your doing it correctly.

calibrating the radio! Thats it! Thanks man, now it works great!

Stock radio, or hacked??

Is there a way to map CH3 button to turn 4WS on and off? And would it be possible to have the CH3 button be a mommentary button for it? What I mean is can it be setup where it's just normally 2WS steering but if I press the button down then it's 4WS mix so long as I hold the button down?

well aparently something got messed up while I tried the programming board to work, now all my channel 1 are throttle and ch 2 are steering? even on other previously binded and programmed rx I have for this radio, I will have to a reset on the radio but can't find the damn manual

Manual here.... Products - OverkillRC

thanks charlie, I am past that, I am trying to reset my radio to stock settings, the manual doesn't say anything about it, the radio can now drive an rx in any of the programmed memories and the channels are now reversed

Wonder if reflashing it would put it back as well...

LosiKid...We have been approached to make a radio skin template for this radio... do you think there would be a demand for these skins? Say 15 at least?
Your info would be appreciated.

I will take one

[foratm]

I should take a skin

[Krawler Konceptz]

You guys would be willing to pay $45 for a kustom radio skin.... I do know this is only a $30 radio.... but a skin is a skin...

Yes there is demand for at least 15. (although not an instant sell out)...most of it though is with the racers.

Thats why i never really went farther with skins, because were talking alot of $ vs radio cost. So i'm trying to focus my resources on other new upgrades.

Try flashing abunch of 0's (don't load any firmware) Then flash 0.4.1 again. See if that fix's it. Your issues are strange.

You may also want to make sure that the the trigger and st wheel are plugged into the right spot.
