alright I need some advice and/or questions answered everyone. Got a ARTR on edge chassis,mip shafts,losi shocks and rock claws.
I don't do comps yet but I am thinking about getting a dig setup when I can get the money together.
1st question is I have spektrum dx3.0 not the 3.0r or whatever the new one is. Is my radio going to be able to be used at all. I am not going to buy a new radio so if not then no dig for me. It has 3 channels so it should right. being a noob I know what dig is but not real educated on it. What all do I need?
I got mip driveshafts so I know I need shortened shaft, dig unit,servo(does it have to be really high torque or no.
Which DIG unit are you using and what do you reccomend for my setup.
thanks in advance for any help and info guys

i knew i would get that response. I have read a some of the searched threads but am a bit confused as some said dx3.0 will work and some said no it can't since it has 2 position switch.

With the DX3.0, you can have 4WD and locked, or you can have 4WD and freewheel. Its a 3 channel radio but the 3rd channel is only 2 position.

i seen a tread on here that guys are going in and makeing their 3.0 have free wheel and locked they wire in a three postion switch

DX3 toggle switch installation

I have this done on my XR3 and it works great.Digger mentioned using it for rear steer,or shifting a 3-speed.It also works great for front dig (4WD,freewheel,brake).

excuse my noobage but by 4wd and locked you mean regular 4wd and rear wheels locked when i want. thats really all I think i will use is the rear wheel lock for tight turns and such.
thanks
