Just from what I've gathered from this forum, the DX3.0 only has a 2 position 3rd channel... so you wouldn't be able to use all 3 positions that the dig offers...

I did a bunch of research before I bought my radio... and I know for a fact that the DX3, and the DX3R both a 3 position 3rd channels...

I don't know EVERYTHING, though I'm sure someone with a bit more experience will chime in

With a 2 position 3rd channel you have a couple choices.

1) Four Wheel Drive and Locked rear (wheels don't turn)

2) Four Wheel Drive and Freewheel rear (wheels spin without power from motor)

The dig positions are freewheel - FWD - Locked.
I have the same radio on mine right now but don't have a dig yet.
I plan on a dig and a better radio down the road.

You still have not answered my question though...

I can only choose 1 of the 2 modes then right?

rear lock or freewheel...I'm new to the DIG scene so thats why all the noobish questions....

You are correct. You only get to use 2 of the 3 positions of the dig. Since you will want 4WD, that is one position. Now choose which of the remaining 2 positions you want; either freewheel or locked.

When I had only a 2 position 3rd channel, I ran with 4WD and Rear Locked as my options.

Hope that helps to clear things up.

Post it on Ebay, then buy a dx3 ( harder to find ) for less money and it will let you do all 3. You don't want to do without freewheel or locking the rears.
