Default Spektrum 3rd channel.

Hey, I just set my spektrum up for rear steer and it works great, I was just wondering if there was a way to use switch "B" (the one closest to the trigger) for rear steer not switch "A". It is really uncomfortable to use that switch. Thanks

You can't program the TX to use the B switch for 3rd channel steering. Some guys have rewired the A button wires to the B button. Also the circuit board that the switches are on can be flipped 180 degrees so the buttons switch places, but you have to notch the case of the TX, and the edg o the circit board kinda sticks out of the case a bit. I hope that made some kind of sense.

It's an XR3, but the same principle. Did it to my DX3 and love it.

i use the same radio and i though the same thing at first.
i got used to it though (i use the side of my knuckle on my thumb to activate the switch) and it is completely comfortable for me now.

i wanted to switch the buttons when i first got mine too, but i didnt really want to hack up the transmitters case

X2 it really doesn't take much time to get used to.

What are you hacking up? From the outside there is no way to tell it's been switched. Just remove the screws on the back, move the wires internally and be done, no "hacking" of the case involved.

Depends, for me it was an issue due to arthritis in my knuckles. Made the switch and it's so much better.
