Default servo question

so i want to run a different servo for a plow i made. i know a rs10 isnt a scaler but its all i got. so if i get another servo or steal the one from the rear can i make it work separately from the steering to make the plow move?

One of two things u can do. lock the rear steer out and use that channel or get a different radio with 4 channel


as for the plow. go look at peoples builds on the plow and go from there

You wouldn't really be able to use the stock controller as the servos are tied together with it's pre-set internal programming.

If your wanting to upgrade just for the plow purposes spend the extra time an read the threads and get a good radio

If all you want is 2WS and a plow, you could take a Traxxas TQ3 and control the plow with the 3rd channel.

If you want to keep 4WS and add the plow, you'll need a 4+ channel radio.

Also, keep in mind that if you go for a tq3 radio, you'll need to mod the radio to a 3 position 3rd channel setup to be able to raise and lower the plow if you make a setup like that.
