Default 4WS transmitter mod (pics)

I've modified my 4 channel Futaba Attack to have two steering sticks. I've got to add a throttle stick, and may be a switch to select steering with one or two sticks, but I thought I'd share the progress so far.

What do you think?

That looks nice, it'll be tricky to get used to!

I'm hoping that it'll be much easier than an unmodified 4 channel transmitter. I just couldn't get used to left/right for the front servo and up/down for the rear servo's left/right.

WAY TO GO HACKMASTER! LMFAO!! I am allways too cheap/afraid to try mods like that. A++++++++. You should be able to get used to that with no problem. Let us know how it works.

I respect the time and talent it took to do that but it looks too complicated. I just use the left stick for rear steer and right stick for throttle and front steer. Once you get used to that it works quite nice. It's nice to be able to let go of the throttle and have it center.
