and heres the manual

https://raw.github.com/semerad/gt3b/...NUAL-0.6.0.txt

Thanks losikid

I already have that but I don`t know how to make it into a s19 file.

[losikid]

Just save it...you might need to change .txt to .s19 after you download it

My computer is down so i can't upload it to my own server so it works like the other links i post up

[ktombs1]

Ya I managed to finally get it to save as a the proper s19 file

Thanks again

Is .0.6 something you would recommend upgrading to asap? Im back on 0.4.2.

One question for a newbie like me, I have my TX hacked, I have the kit to connect to the computer. Is it easier to program with the kit or not?
I suppose that I have to install first a software?

To clarify, are you asking if it's easier/possible to program a template into the TX using the hack cable & a PC vs. using the buttons & dial on the TX itself?

I don't know, but would be curious to know as well. For ESC's, it is usually a lot easier to use the PC connection vs. button pushes and counting.

I just have to wait for them to be in stock again. Will you be stocking the hack kits or just the radios?

0.6.0 is a great firmware, but i'd recommened waiting for afew weeks when i get time to write templates for it and get used to the new acronyms and stuff. As of right now i'd be useless as for helping setup a 0.6.0 model

There is no software to easily adjust settings with the computer at this time. The only use the programmer has at this time is flashing new firmwares. But a pc interface is planned for sometime in the future.

This is what I thought but was not sure.
Having a PC interface to do programming could be useful. Sorta like programming some ESC's, you can do it one way (maybe button pushes & counting LED flashes), but just loading a profile/template is great (like with CC ESC's.)

Well got my GT3B today. Decent looking little radio!! No I just need my hack kit from Overkill etc.. And hopefully thanks to all you guys and the Info I have recieved. All should go well.

I'm not working on it, its just planned. I have no idea where to even start for a pc application.

BUT, i have been considering another possible option, but i haven't the time to look into it

The template is good but wont save my step value, when i use Chanel 3 trim for f+r dig ,so if i have 40% on dr step and use front or rear ch 3 it resets my dr step to 20% not my my last input,any ideas ?

hi the only way i can get it to do that is to make f+r dig switch momentary so you have to hold switch for dig f+r but it wont change you step setting
REV long press enter
3 enter
dig enter
BM0 enter
RE0 enter
PV1 enter
long press enter
back

I should have gt3c hack kits sometime next week.

Will they do everything the GT3B does?

Ok, so been using my hacked radio for a while now and love it. One thing I've ran into is that when you're using the dig options, you cannot enable dig or change trim when throttle or steering are at anything less than 0.

Here's the situation: you're coming down a steep incline up to a ledge and need to switch to a front dig to lock the rears and pull the front around to an uphill gate just off the edge of the ledge. I'd love to just push the thumb 3 position switch while I'm creeping down that face and have it lock the tires on the fly. But, what happens is I have to bring the truck to a stop, center steering then hit dig and I'm good.

Most of the time I have the steering full lock when I want to enable it (or change my trim) and I'm prevented from doing so.

So, is there a setting to allow this to work the way I want or would this be a potential firmware upate?

[Charlie-III]

I don't believe I have to do that on mine with a dual ESC MOA.
