I am also curious about the front motor mixing as well Harley i tried with my 4pk earlier and think i landed a small aircraft near my house but no dice....lol I did also accidentally swith something that made one motor go one way and the other do the opposite that was pretty cool also:oops:
 
While thinking about it, it may not be possible with this particular setup. This would be due to only one channel actually being mixed normally. The second mix only comes on when you want to cancel out the actions of channel 2.

So if you want to mix the front motor you may have to revert to my old setup.

I still do not suggest adding the front motor mixing. It just isn't something that is going to be useful on course in a timely manor.

I will still grab my radio as soon as I have a spare minute and check it out.
 
after looking at all your info, im wondering how to hook up the cutting brake when it comes avalible, any info?

Off the top of my head, I think all you'll need to do is pick a DT button, assign the 4th channel to it. Set the increment to adjust to 100, basically a 3 position switch. Adjust the endpoints and you're set :flipoff:

There isn't anything in channel 4 though. Whatcha talkin bout Willis?

For some odd reason I thought we were talking about the XR10 cut brake. Long day at work, my bad :oops:

Edit, I fixed my post, check it.

The BEC will need to be wired directly to the servos. From there, you will plug in your cutting brake servo into channel 4. Depending on if the cutting brakes will have 3 or 5 positions you will program one of the DT buttons to channel 4 with either a step value of 100 or 50. As soon as the cutting brakes are available I will have the setup posted "thumbsup"

Yup, basically the same thing. 8)
 
Ummmmm dude......we have like less than 2 weeks..... You really are on a roll tonight.

Yeah I sure was wasn't I :).

Anyway, Do you know if Futaba has plans to release a new, smaller/lighter 3 channel Rx? I'm pretty sure that I won't have cutting brakes on the Berg and a nice small 3ch Rx would be really cool to have. Not to mention it would be nice for all of my race stuff too.
 
I'm trying to buy the new Futaba RX that is thin..Seen it listed before...This
thread is so long its almost impossible to find anything...I need to be point in the
right direction...Thanks.
