GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread

[heyok]

This might help you... when you have a complex system to troubleshoot, try and break it down into smaller components.

Try this:
Get two servos and plug them into the two throttle channels on your receiver. Somehow power up the receiver - use a battery pack or a BEC or something.

Operate the transmitter and receiver. Move the throttle and operate the dig modes. Now you will be able to watch the servo arms and know how they are responding to the the dig function and this will give you a better idea where you could be having trouble.
For example if you see that the servo arms always respond properly, you will know that the problem lies elsewhere - perhaps in the ESCs, or if the servos stop at odd times then that would point to a power or receiver or transmitter problem.

They stop selling these things ? I went to the website and the kit to hack the radio is out of stock. Is there another way to hack the gt3b ?

Stuff goes out of stock....and I dont ever plan on allowing orders unless I have stuff ready to ship. I did the past few months and all people do is complain because it took longer than expected to ship.

I'll have hack kits soon

How are the skins coming along?

LosiKID, do you have anymore?

They're expensive puppies to get right now...

best thing I did was start at the beginning of this thread and started reading. tons of info to go though but I guarantee all your questions are covered in this single thread.

this is the most cost effective way to get a controller set that will run any and all of your rigs with the most channels and programmability.

He sells them pre-hacked, and I believe he may even program the channels for you. PM him and ask, he responds better to PM's but he takes them in the order he gets them, and he is very busy.

Click on his username, and choose to send him an e-mail, or contact him through his site.

Lots of us can help, even if LosiKid is busy.

What do you want to know??

As to stock GT3C's, I bought 2 from an Ebay site, was able to pick my colors.

Like stated.... Read thread in its entirety..... If Austin has no pre hacked kits buy the gt3b elsewhere and buy hack parts from Austin. Not hard at all. This is why he created this thread to have the community answer the same on going questions.

No i don't...and i turned them off.

My email is losikid@overkillrc.com <--- this email gets answered the fastest.

[losikid]

I do plan on having these soon though....if you're interested in a set send me a email, losikid@overkillrc.com . I'll have them for the gt3b and the gt3c ... i've also been considering anodizing them, so if you want some color tell me which color in the email (or just say you want raw aluminum)

Pricing isn't set in stone, but expect ~$15 for a set in raw alum and ~$20 for a colored set. And they're drop in replacements....just take out a few screws, replace the old ones with the new ones, and screw it all back together.

They'll give you alot of grippage on the switches. Eventually i plan on some lower profile ones to be a tad better than stock if the high profile ones tend to be too obstructive.



I'm waiting to hear back from a machinist right now....I plan on having these shipping in a month or so

[losikid]

Also, skinz will be in the $40 range....if you're cool with that range lmk. They'll be high quality skins. If ya'll want skinz, let me know....

Also, i'm working on a new website, it'll be pretty sweet.

I havnt read all 143 pages but I have done alot of reading in here, is there a link like on the first page that covers 3pos dig & a winch?
Ive programmed my gt3c for my pro using the links to duel esc mixing just trying to set up my scaler now.
Thanks Nik
