has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

Dasmikro Customized 6 Channel 8 Channel Flysky GT3C Transmitter Sale - Banggood.com

$82 for the 8ch and it has 3, 3position toggles and 3 potentiometers already installed and ready to go. they also sell a 4 channel and 6 channel DIY kit.

These are made by Sangyue here on rcc, and sold under the Dasmikro name brand on banggood. He's the same guy that made the Orladoo 1/35th scale truck.
.
I'm going to buy one Friday and see how I like it, I just haven't decided whether I can solder that small, or if I want to pay the extra $ to have it done

This looks interesting. Do you need to add the toggle switches in order to utilize the hacked firmware? I thought you can program the stock buttons like d/r and ch3 trim.

Re: has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

I like the switch and pot inputs. What isn't said is if there is any programming. Does it do 4WS or dig? The software hack (Losikid Type) gives a lot of programming. I am using 6 channels with it already. What is actually missing is extra switches and/.or pots to increase the versatility.

A 6 or 8 channel transmitter without any channel programming is not as useful.

It may be there, but I guess someone will need to ask the vendor if there is any programmability to the channels.

That radio is a hardware only hack, those are exclusively channel control. No mixing, no key mapping, no extra software functionality.

I have an old gt3b and I really like it. I've been looking to upgrade to a hacked gt3c. I read all about the crazy stuff your setup is capable of but I always come back to the same question. Can your hack turn say, one of the 2 way thumb buttons into a rear steer control with proportionate steering? Or can a dpdt toggle be installed to do that? I loved my old traxxas tq3 with a potentiometer in place of the 3rd channel toggle. I'd love to have that control in a modern radio.

Re: has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

You can hack your gt3b...its the same firmware as the gt3c

Yes, you can turn one of the thumb rockers to control rear steer.

You could control rear steer easy.

Are you wanting to mix it to the steering wheel and be able to proportionate that?

Or Are you wanting independent control of the rear steer and but be able to choose smaller values than 100% throw.

Both is completely possible. Just the way I answer is slightly different.

Re: has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

No mixing, completely independent of front steer. If thats possible then I'm happy and from the sounds of it, I'm happy. :lol:

The firmware losi kid makes is incredible! It's perfect for 4ws, multiple esc, lights, winch, etc.
I can't say enough good things about it!

Re: has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

that's the way I understand it. the part I wonder about is if his ppm expander will work with any ppm radio. from my limited understanding, it should.

Re: has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

Yes, It should work with any ppm radio.

But finding rx's would be the difficult part

So there are two ways you could go about this.

a.) setup on multiple switches

b.) setup on one switch

For option a,
You could assign one switch for 100% swing each click
So click back and it'll turn 100% left
click forward it goes back to center
click forward again and it goes to 100% right.

Or make it momentary, so you have to click and hold. When you left off it returns to center.

Then assign a second switch with a smaller step, like 20%.
Each click will move the servo 20% one way or the other depending on the click direction.

If you're doing momentary on the first switch, you can set it up so it returns to previous value when you let go. So if you was at 20% steer left, it'll return to 20% steer left

You can also assign a button, like the channel 3 button, to reset the channel to center...

or option b, get really fancy and combine alot of what I said above into one switch.

Under normal clicks it would move 20%. But if you click in the opposite direction it'll reset back to center. so if you click left 3 times. Only one right click is needed to go back to center. And if you want to go straight to full steer. You click and old in the corresponding direction for 1 second (That time period is adjustable). and it'll jump to that end point.

or there's alot of other key behaviors available. Such as autoreat where it'll increment continuously while you click and hold.

Re: has anyone seen the new GT3C pre-hacked to 8ch on banggood?
 

right. I guess that's why the flysky system works so well, since their air systems are compatible.

Thanks for answering this, I know you don't gain anything by answering.

I really like your radios, I'm just an analog type of guy, and I like the tactile feel of switches and knobs for the additional channels. If I knew how to do that with your radios I would have one.

honestly, If I could add the ppm expander to my old futaba fp-t2pb, I'd be in heaven, even if I had to stay FM with it.
