| 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.
