I probably still would be building my own creations. but badger basically forced me into buying a blue star...so now I'm too busy doing projects for you guys I haven't touched my mega radio project for months.

Okay, I found that if you go to the trim menu and long press enter and set your trim in this menu it will save after you shut the radio off.

But using the trim switches and the normal trim menu still wont save.

That should be the sub trim menu, I figured that would probably work but havent had a chance to check it. Does it give you enough range of motion with the sub trims to get everything set where you want it? Thanks.

It gives the same amount as the normal trim. 99 steps, and moves just as much as the normal trim.

Yea i use taptalk on my phone.its great but not perfect

Did the pad come off the board with the wire...is it through hole or just a surface pad?

the whole wire came off the TX board with the antenna. i assume the tiny hole is where it was from but i cant be sure untill i find a pic or open up my other T6A V2

So Im done with cracked copies of windows7, got tired of them eventually expiring unlike the easy to crack XP

luckily today I accidentally scored a legit copy of ultimate for $40
its a bit late to start all that now. but Im willing to bet with fresh windows and the patch I'll be up and flashing haha

Lets us know how it goes

Finally got my XR10 built and running so I can test the GT3B. LOVE it! I'm running a 3 ch punk dig switch and it works perfect, I have it set where the ch 3 trim button switches from front dig/ 4wd/ rear dig and holds the setting. And I have the D/R switch set to momentary front dig/4wd/rear dig, that way I have momentary and hold for my dig. Thanks again losikid for offering the kit and support, and thanks to the genius that wrote the program!

Well, yes it can be soldered back on, i've done it afew times...what you need to do, is get the outer webbing showing, then unravel it from around the middle wire and twist it togther and pre-tin. Now strip like 1 mm off the end of the middle wire....the middle wire goes to the middle pad, you should see it goe onto a very narrow track...now solder the mesh onto the other pad that has solder on it.

If all else fails it only cost like $30 for another radio...and just cut and solder the big wires

Sure...do you have mom set to previous setting? or return to center?

So i finally decided to sit down and try to rewrite the manual...its kinda hard because the manual really does explain it well.

So i think i'll make it a more "rich" layout. which will make it easier. But really i think i'll focus more on a key mapping tutorial...as it seems this is where people have the biggest issues.

[losikid]

alright i have v2.0 rough draft install instructions, which includes setting up stvp...i'll post it up tomorrow. I plan on adding a trouble shooting, it needs to be revised, edited, possibly resources page.

I also have the first page of the keep mapping section of the overkill manual, i'll try and have it finished and up tomorrow...i plan on rewriting the whole manual in this format. It won't be much different than the current manual so it easy for me to update, however it will explain each step better, and better descriptions of its function. Then i'll work on basic setups, two 3 pos setups, two dual esc setups, 1 4ws setup, 1 multi position setup...this way newbs can follow this step by step and get a basic control/setup

I probably won't have stuff up till late, as i have lots planned tomorrow...these are not on the priority list, but on top of my todo, i let them cut in to the front of the line

[losikid]

The trim not saving is a bug. its because of trim mapping.

To bypass this if you set trim 1 and 2 to off via key mapping menu it will save your values after power off.

This problem will be fixed here soon

Arg. just did a format and fresh install of windows7 ultimate 32 and now When i click program tab i get a runtime C++ error

This is before and after I patched the software

[getbent]

Dang brother, cant catch a break huh? I wish I could help, but I am no computer guru. Good luck with it, once you get it figured out its worth it.
