Usually "shafty" or "shaftie" (for rigs that have drive shafts), a scaler chassis could also be used for a drive shaft type rig.
I'm sure there are lots of other terms to be used.

It is where the TX (transmitter) combines 2 seperate channels as a ratio.
An example is 2 ESC's on a MOA, dig would be one ESC at a time, mixing (or proportional) would give a % of speed to one ESC and a different % of speed (as requested by the throttle trigger) to the 2nd ESC.
This can overdrive one end of the rig compared to the other end. Both ends/ESC's are driven, just at different rates.

I have a Futaba 4pl so I can channel mix. Is there another brand, besides Futaba, that you can do dual ecs channel mixing and not just steering?

While there are likely a few options, the hacked Fly Sky 3GT3B is one option. I run one myself..... Products - OverkillRC LosiKid is now working on the hacked GT3C, so that is likely the next option....

Thanks. Its just a shame that spectrum, jr, and others don't make anything to compete with Futaba. Like I said i have a 4pl but honestly I have never cared fo the looks and feel of Futaba radios.
