I'm still waiting for the GT3B. It's a long way from China to Romania......
I found a plastic case and want to buy it to make myself a carry case for the GT3B, but I don't know if it will fit. I tried to find out the dimensions of the GT3B from the internet but I found 2 different sizes. One is 159x99x317mm the other is 154x127x270mm can somebody tel me which is correct please.
On the other hand I read about the issue with the battery life. I ordered the RECOM voltage regulator. Will it help in the battery life issue? I will use 8x 2100mAh NiMh rechargeble batteries.

Thank you

so i finally flashed my first gt3b, but i did 6.1 flash, and i have no idea how to setup this for my supers with 4ws and front and rear dig plus mixing of the esc for proportional power like the wannasummit unit. and i am going to flash the other gt3b for my scalers with 4.1 later when i figure this one out

I have a 6 channel hacked radio. I figured out how to operate most everything, however I have some questions. I dont know how to get the channel 3 button to operate, and is there a quicker way to control from ft, to rear steer other than goin from 100% to -100%, if so how? I basically bought this radio system so I can seperate the four wheel steer, and quickly choose from full, to front, to rear, and crabwalk. Did a lot of reading in this thread and found nothing that I understand, or that seemed to address this problem. This is my first custom radio system, so I am not really good with it.. any help is greatly apprecieated

I just set mine up tonight and it does everything I want it to. It wad kinda confusing at first but thats ok I figured it out and this hack makes it a great remote and nice hack kit by the way.

Flashed 061 into my new GT3C last night, will have to do the GT3B now as it is still on 04x.

Noticed when I did initial power up radio did not go into cal mode as stated in the how to. No big deal as I just went to cal mode in the menus and set the relevant bits (bat voltage, etc.)

I have to say the 3C does seem to be better constructed than the 3B, have not used it in anger yet but am looking forward to trying it out.

Pete.

I wanted to say thank you losikid for making such an easy kit to install and program the remote. I can't wait till it can do telemetry so I can get rid of my traxxas tqi

Sorry about the absence, been in the process of moving.

I hope to have basic mods (Hack kit, vr mod, and bearing) up for sale again in the next two weeks.

and until further notice, no more "custom" pre-hacked radio's will be sold. I still plan on trying todo some here and there, but they'll be pre-built and first come first serve. This is still aways out though

[cartronicshn]

thank you so very much austin for all the help, i just did the 6.1 on my first super and it works really nice, i am starting to understand the programming on the radio, the channel mixing is just awesome

Plug your battery in, and calibrate your esc's

Is This the setup you used in the youtube video.

[losikid]

Probably...why?

[MiniMorris]

Because I want to modify this template so unstead of momentary locking the front and rear ( top 3pos. switch).It would permanently lock and then I could use the 3ch button to set back to normal.

[MiniMorris]

*** ment to say bottom 3 pos. switch

Hi there losikid,
I have just recived my GT3B hack kit thanks heaps, but I'm a bit confused about the firmware, I have down loaded all the stuff you sent in my email but when I open the ST visual program & the open tab there is 60 different thing to pick from ??
There is also a program thing that got saved but will not open ( ecwid_egood_601_1739071.s19 ) my windows 7 comp will not open ?

I hope to put a few new templates up today, but about 1/2 way down where it states "MOM" scroll to "NOL" instead. There a few different things to do as well but I'll get templates up.

I also use "5" instead of "20" for the proportional steps.
