i built one with radioshack switches and a hs 55 servo. mine works, but i think i may have a bunk switch. when i shift from front to rear. the front one works perfectly. my rear one wont kick back on. if i click the switch a couple times the rear will kick back in. other then that it does what it is suppose to do. i have yet to run mine yet though. so i will also be interested to see how well it works.

no . I cant upload pics because I dont have a star yet and I dont have a photobucket acct . I just pop it in 4ws take a quick flik of the wheel to the left and blamo dig activated . It takes a whole 1.5 seconds to do it , I timed it . I will be getting a different tx soon , but it works for now .

i assume you have it setup for dual dig?. hows it workin? i got the banebots in mine. im just not sure if they will hold when locked for a dig, or if they will freewheel more.
