I think ive read to much stuff today and confused myself. i am going to build a xr10. i want proportional dig. going to get overkillrc's hacked GT3b radio. rc4wd 45t brushed motors. Not sure which ESC's to get. going to run dual esc. do i have to get overkills wantasummit to have proportional dig or will the radio alone do it?

Edit. I think I've got it figured out. Dual novak rooster crawlers. No need for wantasummit. How many channels do I need for proportional dig on the gt3b? Thanks.

The radio is all you need. As for escs, Tekin and Castle Creations both make quality ones. You'd be happy with either brand, but i'd recommend the Tekin B1R. A lot of guys are running them on the XR10. The're about the smallest esc you'll find and $58 each. At that price you'll have 2 escs for about the price of one FXR. Also don't forget a Castle Creations bec. The 10 amp one is all you'll need. It runs about $20. I'd use the C.C. bec no matter what escs you go with.

Didn't see your edit. Novak are good also, but I'd still go with the B1R. 3 channels is all you need.

i would go with dual tekin fxr's or castle mamba micro pros as they both can handle 3s when you want to try it and they have more programability and just plain perform better in the long run

the radio will mix it alone, the wantamix is only for the dx3t and futaba 3pm-x. A great little tool, for harcore speky users, but theres other options out there such as the 4pl, 4pk, and as you mention my gt3b...the gt3b will mix them, no need for the mixer. You only need one extra channel for the mix. So 3 channels will be fine, although having 6 won't hurt
