Hey LosiKid...on a GT3C, is the VR mod still suggested, or "just nice"?

I just got in 2 GT3C's, want to cover bases before I put them in use.

Thanks.

hi for the benefits the VR mod has, it is worth doing then you can run 2 or 3 cell lipos. must have mod for 3 cell. i run a 3 cell lipo and use every day recharge maybe every 3/4 weeks , sometimes longer .

Finally figured out my firmware version looks like its 6.1 thanks to all who have helped
After I found the firmware I tore it apart to check for the vr mod and found the factory vr intact looks like I'm fixing to do some soldering once I order the new vr

Based on LosiKids reply....the GT3C does NOT require the VR mod.

Austin, thanks for the reply.

I showed a number of peeps the hacked GT3B vs. the unhacked GT3C today at a GSRCRC/EPARCC comp today. I hope to have time to convert my GT3B to the newer firmware soon.

I even had a few drivers drive my rig (sorta basic XR-10) with the hacked GT3B today. I believe they came away with "It's good" replies.

3Racing Winch controller question:
using hacked 0.61 + 6ch flysky Tx

I set the 3 position switch to mom and when I use it I see the -100 and 100 flash on the screen when it is held. I only get the winch to go in one direction. One does nothing. I can push the button on the winch controller and it will go in both directions.
Also, I can plug the winch into ch1 and it will go both directions when I turn the steering wheel...

HeyOk helped me earlier today and is at a loss. So Losikid, any ideas? Thanks!

OMG I'm dumb. That worked.

How is a hack's tech support better than forune 500 companies?

Thanks!
