Of course, being an over thinker... I would probably also use a receiver with more channels so I could flip that switch remotely. You know... to run down the batteries equally, Or something... Okay, so I have too much time on my hands. | |

I'll have to get back with you on the exact model of the dual stick transmitter, not at home atm. It's just a cheap flysky one, less than $50 iirc. I got it from a friend who's into drones. From what I understand, even the cheap dual stick transmitters, if they don't come with springs already installed in both sticks, will come with the springs to install them.

As I am going with dual ESC AND 4WS, I am imagining I would control each axle, both throttle and steering with one stick. Forward and reverse would be controlled by moving each stick in the direction I want to go. Is this how you drive yours? Crab steering would be both sticks going to the same side and tight 4WS turns would be done by moving the sticks in opposite directions. I will want to make sure the receiver can handle 7.4v. A quick search online shows some cheap flysky transmitter/receiver combos that have "4.0-6.5V/DC" written on them. | ||

So here is the complete wiring that I have settled on. I might go with two batteries in the future, but I think this is what it's gonna be to start with. The idea is to go with bullet connectors for each of the red wires coming off of the ESCs. This way I won't get careless and accidentally run both of them to the receiver. This will also allow me to calibrate each ESC individually. I may yet go with a switch, but I already have the connectors from another project. Now all I need to do is order a battery! I even added some vignetting! Fancy! I'll wire it all up as neat as possible and have it ready for when the battery arrives, so hopefully one of you can tell me if this is gonna fry anything before I power it up! I labeled each component with what I actually purchased if you're interested. I'll probably start this evening ... Last edited by aPpYe; 06-19-2021 at 12:14 PM. |

Hi All, I am hoping someone can answer a question. I am finally wiring this thing up today. All electronics are mounted and it is basically time to set up the soldering iron. Why do the ESCs have to be calibrated one at a time, while the other is powered down? Is it because they are generally calibrated to the same trigger on a pistol type remote? As I am going to be throttling separately with dual sticks (front with the left, rear with the right), does this apply here? If it does not, then I might ditch both ESC to SERVO connectors (diagram above) and solder the red wires between ESC 1 and SERVO 1. ... Or am I way off base?

Whoops. Google photos is tricky when used to post images into forums this way. Can you see the image above now?
