lol, in theory i suppose so, but would it be a dig? it would be able to dig but not really set up as a dig. |

Excuse my n00bness when it comes to electronics, but if this 'cutout' is connected to my 3rd channel, what happens to my rear steer when it is 'activated' for digs ? I have been looking for a way to get digs on my clod without havng to go to a stick radio. Cheers |

Isn't there at least one pistol style that's got 4 channels? I seem to recall hearing one of 'em had 4ch... Now to remember which one it was....................................

| My experience is that the device has some internal resistence even when on which may magnify clodstall. |

So are we saying that everyone that has digs is running a stick type radio setup ? I checked out that Nomadio React - looks like I need a science degree to operate it ! I love the simplcity of my TQ3 (with indi rear steer), so something similar to that with 4 channels would be awesome ! Any tech gurus out there working on a TQ4 |

Well, I got the elusive part in yesterday! yea! However, I have been lost in TLT land and haven't started to set it up yet. (check my BMVii build thread) Look for something tomorrow if all goes well here. Only thing I can see at first glance is I will have to enlarge the holes to fit the motor wires outside the case.... Pics and info ASAP. |

awesome let's us know of your progress Shorty40 i have an acoms fm 4ch pistol grip i got from rcmart, the only thing is they haven't stocked anymore of them, it was somthing like $80 + shipping and it came with thre servos, this would be an awesome radio for digs, i have looked everywhere and haven't had any luck finding them on rcmart, only place i thibk had them was some hobby store in canada, the radio is an acoms fm 40 mhz 4 ch pistol hayabusha model. |

Thanks for the radio help guys - I really wanted to stay with the pistol grip. Apologies for the hi-jack Freq E Tag. But once I have the radio sorted I will be keen to see how this 'cut out' performs ! |

Well, alas, the idea that was... wasn't... All was well, installed, dig awesome, no heat. Perfect. Then... wait for it... I hit reverse... hmm... was that smoke I just saw??? Ouch. Back to the drawing board I guess. Maybe someone with an engineering degree knows why you can't reverse the current flow through the thing? Just wanted to let you all know where it was at... |

I had discussed a probable setup with Dez some months ago, it would require a small relay , obviusly power from either the esc bec or pack for the relay to activate and deactivate power to the motor, i will see if it works during the weekend, and i'll post the results.
