spektrum dx3 3rd channel
 
im setting up a winch on my scaler and obviously its going to be set up on the 3rd channel. but the A and B buttong on my DX3 both adjust certain things. isnt one of them supposed to be for the 3rd channel? or is it the C button? im realy hoping its A or B because they are 3 position, return to center switches whereas C it just a single push button. im not at home right now so i dont have the manual to read to find out for my self... so if anyone has rear steer or a winch set up on a new DX3, help m out here.

dieselfuel 12-24-2006 09:50 PM

it was all the way across the room! yes its a 3.0... does that mean i cant use the ****ing 3rd channel for my winch?

slobin3d 12-24-2006 09:52 PM

not the way you want to. Sorry diesel, Merry F'in Christmas

dieselfuel 12-24-2006 09:53 PM

can it be modified with a 3pos switch like we do to TQ3s?

slobin3d 12-24-2006 09:54 PM

the third channel control is in the software, not the switch its self.

dieselfuel 12-24-2006 09:56 PM

so this $250 radio is ****ing worthless to me.... great.

slobin3d 12-24-2006 09:56 PM

That post and Slobin's sig...

We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you!!!

...made me bust out laughing.

If you mod the winch servo and set the 3.0 to LN on the 3rd channel you should be able to operate a winch.

Won't be as simple to operate as a momentary pushbutton or toggle, but it should work.

slobin3d 12-24-2006 10:06 PM

Praise the all Knowing JIA. :lol:


Lock the POT at center the when you let go of the switch the servo thinks its back at center.

dieselfuel 12-24-2006 10:17 PM

alright then i guess ill be using the dx3 with the comp trucks and the tq3 with the scaler... ****.

the pot adjuster is locked with CA in neutral.

had i known i would have bought a new TQ3... oh well ive got it i might as well make good use of it. it'll work with my sw2 and the J2 when its done.

I just ordered a DX3.0...had a DX3 on hold but opted for the 3.0. Here is my question...

Will I be able to set the 3rd channel for rear steering? I know that they said the new version will work with Tmaxx trannies. But will I be able to have smooth steering?

John:?:

dieselfuel 12-26-2006 06:53 PM

from the sound of it... no. it looks like the 3rd channel cannot be used for controlling another servo for rear steer or a winch.
