Question Wantamix?

I need somebody out there to tell me what an moa component i saw does. It looked like a small circuit board, wrapped in clear shrink type stuff, & had multiple female reciever plugs coming out of it. It had "wantamix" on the wrap, & thats it. The plugs were labeled 2ch.,3ch. It was being sold for moa's. I have a modest berg w/sidewinder & punk setup. What would this do for me? Thanks dudes who know more than me!

It basically allow you to run Dual esc using a non-dual-esc compatible radio (need to be 3 channel) and has at least 1 programmable 3 pos switch. In some cases, it will allow both dig and proportional (like DX3s and DX3r, where you can assign 2 switch to 1 channel). For some, it will only allow either (DX3C). It works well if you don't want to upgrade to Dual ESC Radio....

+1....I went from a single ESC & servo dig (similar operation to a punk dig) on my 2.2 Bully MOA to a WantAmix and dual ESC's in the same rig. Both set-ups were run on my Futaba 3PM-x.

The WantAmix was a definite upgrade to a dig unit. Now I run a hacked GT3B so it's yet another step up in capabilities.

Look up www.OverKillRC.com to see what LosiKid has to offer.

I was looking to buy a WantAMix from OverkillRC.com, but it says that they are not for sale right now. Is this just temporary, and if so, when will they be available again?
Thanks,

Best bet is to PM LosiKid on this forum, he's the guy behind OverkillRC.

I know he does things like this in batches, so he may be making more in the near future.

Thanks, Charlie! I tried to PM him, but it says he isn't accepting or can't accept PMs... Hopefully it's just temporary, so I'll keep an eye out.

I was looking at getting this because I have the DX3C.....but, I'm glad I read this post. I'd still only be able to run one axle at a time? Hmmm.......looks like I need a Tx upgrade!

The WantAmix on a correct radio (Futaba 3PM-x is an example) allows:
Proportional front/rear mixing
Front or rear dig

I never had an issue with the unit (unlike Punkdigs, servo digs, etc. that others use) and it's almost as good as a radio that does mixing of 2 ESC's (like a hacked GT3B or GT3C, Futaba 4PL, etc.)
