GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread

[losikid]

Thanks for the interest in the switches guys...i think i'll be doing two versions, a med profile and a high profile.

Once i get these done i'll work on the ch 3 button as well

Hey losikid, I have a few questions.

I've been running the Futuba 4pl and it's worked fine for my needs up till now withHera...

It seems the FlySky is the way to go.

I need 6 ch... I currently have, on the Futuba,
ch3: 4ws using a push button to cycle through 4ws/crab/front only and a DT button for mixing (I followed Harleys setup video)
ch4: is a DT 2 position button for a servo to shift Summit trans.

I need another 2 position switch, with epa, for a servo operating the flip up light bar and
a 3 position switch to run Heyok's winch controller for a servo winch.

I'm assuming the Flysky can do all this?
To run all these functions, do the push button trim switches act as 3 pos switches?
How many models can you run with it as 6ch/8ch?

Used my hacked GT3B this weekend at our G6 event, worked really well. Had minor glitching when the group bunched up during some obstacles (surrounded by Spektrum radios) but, worked flawless when we weren't shoulder to shoulder.

Well worth the inexpensive price tag.

Yea it can do this, however 4ws will act different. You put rear only, 4ws, and front only on a trim, at the left epoint, center, and right epoint you'll have the above setups, if you assign 20% steps or something you'll have bias mixing. For crab, you have to assign to a button/2 position which turns it on/off.

Yes, the push button trims can act as a 3 position,




Furthermore, i got my gt3c in today, and the feel, ergonomic, balance...external features are 1000x better than stock, its just insane how much it has improved from the gt3b. I'm getting camera batteries charged right now and setting up the photo booth. I hope to have a review up soon...this gt3c is a protype though, i can only pray that production units are also on this level of quality...and unlike the gt3b, the switches are actually easy to use (go figure )

I am looking forward to the pics of the prototype radio. Any idea when the radios are going to be marketed for the public?

Hack kits will be shipping tomorrow, and a couple radios a day or two past the two weeks will be going out tomorrow as well.

[arevir]

so exactly how many on/off switches are on the 8ch version.
two 3pos switches and four 2 pos switches?
I have 1 winch that would go on the 3pos switch does this radio have a 3position slider?
and a few independent LED systems that can be turn on/off from the Tx.

I just want to make sure what I would get so later im not frustrated with the results.
Thanks!

there is no set number of a type of a switch, the 4 physical 3 positions can be turned into 8 2 positions, and the 2 positions can act as 3+ positions, and the 3 positions can have up to 200 positions, and, and, and

[arevir]

i guess I understand better now lol
I haven seen this radio in person only the pics on here.
can you post a pic with lines to the controls like you did with your mod Traxxas TQ simple explanation where are the actual usable switches on this radio?
Thanks!

I had the same problem with one.. I think it had something to do with a trim setting, Is been awhile back since I had the problem.. I am almost positive it was maxxed out trims that made it do it..

turn your epa's down on the left...sounds like ch 1 is overlapping into channel 2

I don't remember exactly what I did, (3 months ago and its 2am right now and I wanted to help) but this will get you real close. If this doesn't do it (and no one else has helped), Lmk and I will dig it out of my controller in the morning. I know part of that is not needed for us M2 guys, but I can't recall which part I didn't have to do. Maybe PM losikid, cut and paste this in your message, and ask him which part you don't need.
