Steering Trim Rearsteer Control

[vlmarshall]

Hey, I just had a related thought. Does anyone reading this also have an 1:18th scale Nylint? If so, open the transmitter and tell me the numbers on the chip in the center of the board. it's the only DIP I.C. there, so no worries finding it.
I'll bet it's the same one, and a cheap source for mod parts...anyone have a dead 1:18 they wanna get rid of in the name of research?

All right this maybe stupid. Why couldn't you just take boards from a spare and wire the power (off/on switch) together. Then take your return to center spring out. Then put one board on 1st channel and the other board on 2nd channel. Have one board control the axles and front steering and the other control and the rear steer. This may not work. I don't know. Just a thought

That's not stupid. It would work.

I wouldnt wire one power switch to two boards, though..There's a bit more going on there than just cutting power to the controller board, I saw in a brief glance that the power switch also grounds the RESET pin of the chip on the Nylint's servoboard. I don't think wiring two of them together would be a good idea.

Other than that, your idea would work fine, and you'd have an extra throttle and Hi/Lo channel available to drive accessories.
