Now that would be cool... you could actually kick the rear motor into reverse to do a serious burnout as you turn the front with the dig kicked in.....

Great... I even have a brand new Tamiya MSC at home.

The chassis-mounted 3rd channel servo has a rubber dildo affixed to the servo horn, when switched to the left the dildo swings around and gets lodged between the rear tire and ground?:?

come on man, where ya at? I wanna see how your doing the front dig on a Clod.

I tried it using a computer reverse relay, but I never got it to work as smoothly as I would like.

ive got it, the servo is connected to a switch that turns the rear motor off or my other guess the servo pushed on the back rim causing it to act like a brake

Electricity is the key to unleashing the dig, or leashing the dig.... what-ever.


I have some things to deal with before I get to take any pictures for you babies

All the ORCRC guys know our trick... I'm getting a lot of words tossed at me because I am posting a picture.

Yes it's blurry and doesn't show you much, but if you have a mind that likes to think... you'll figure it out sooner or later.

you create a short from the positive to the can to ground it before it can do anything?

Not shorting anything. Let's just say I remove something that makes the motor turn.

I think I finally have it figured out.
Gonna give it a try

If the zip tie breaks, you only lose the dig function?

motor screw is a tiny loose- one of them, and if its under pressure it backs off, and just breaks the ziptie, which you can replace and tighten the screw, no broken gears LOL that was so not a good guess!

So if the micro servo pulls out a brush and cuts power to the motor, then all we need to know now is how the axle is locked to keep it from rolling.
