Front dig radio

[axelnut1]

I am sure this has been asked before but I need to know. What radio's are you using for your front dig set-ups. I do not want to use the TQ3. I looked on tower and some of the radios have a push button 3rd. ch. and some say the 3rd ch. is "Shift or linear dual mode third channel". What do I need? Thanks for any help, Brian

Any radio that has a third channel that can shift will work, one with end points is a good idea for setting up a dig.

I use a JR XR3 (old model). The DX3 (not the 3.0) works much the same way, but it is a spectrum radio.

you need to do a mod to have the left gimbal self center or you can just go through horizon or your LHS, and order it that way

The mod takes about an hour or less to do

Are there any differences between planes and surface controlers? I thought I read somewhere there was.

I use the Hitec Laser 4.

I just bought a new radio and had to have it made so that one of the sticks self centered. The part cost one pound fifty which is about 3 dollars and took about 3 minutes from start to finish. All it envolved was inserting a spring and removing a small plastic "catch"

The controller I use can be used for aircraft. The difference is that in the UK the aircraft run on 35 mhz and the cars run on 40 mhz. The transmitter I am using is set for 40mhz so it is ok. If you use an aircraft frequency on your car and there are model planes within range you could cause them to crash

When you're on 2.4Ghz...no.

If your'e on FM planes run 72MHz and ground vehicles run 75MHz.

i see you have asked this twice now today and nobody has replied.Youre in luck its be nice to the newbie day.The dig is when you disconnect the rear driveline,by a mech gizmo myself and many others home make.It will allow you to make sharp turns,or realighn youre frnt tires with out moving forward to get a better line.Ihope this cleares things up a little.

You can order one with the self centering gimbals.

What mike is trying to say is, "It is a rear driveline disconect that allows front wheel only, hince the FRONT DIG." If you search Front Dig you should find alot of info in it.

any radio with a 3rd channel and EPA'a will work (tq3 will with epa mods) I personally use a JR R-1 but you need a $400 computer radio to do it.
