TQ3 mod + Radio Shack

[Double J]

I didn't want to use the normal On Off On Toggle to mod my TQ3 and started looking through radio shack for the parts. After going through about 4 different set up I found on that works. It doesn't have the return to center that would be nice but it works for the rear proportional steering.

I'll post some pics later for a visual but do the mod as normal for rear steer but use a 5K - Ohm Audio-Taper Potentiometer. Radio Shack #271-1720.
You'll have to cut the turning post because it's like 1 1/2" long.

Specs on the part and it only costs $2.99.
Resistance: 5K ohms + 20% tolerance
Rated Power: .25 watts
Sliding Noise: <47mV
Total Rotation: 300 degrees + 5degrees
Mounting Hole: 5/16" (8.2mm)


The others I tried either didn't work or went straight from left to right with no centering available.

I used a stock TLT 24t Spur for the steering wheel that works just perfectly in my hand.

Again pics tomorrow. Have to go to work. :-(

i have an old tq radio i've taken the steering wheel out of and am currently modding up for my rear steer

here is the pics of the rear steer I did.
As I said before you do the same mod as the other just add this part instead of the toggle switch.
