Dig would be where you transfer power from front to rear and visa versa. With the hack it will allow you to use third channel trim switches to do as such either proportionally (percentage increment of power to front or rear ie 80% in front 20%to in rear) dig is not necessary but highly recommended. Many may say don't worryabout it till your used to crawling and me being a newb I say it helps a ton having it it is easy to get a hold on
I so if you plan on comping you pretty much need it luckily its nothing extra with 2the esc and the hack cause its set up in the radio.

So for now I can run 2 esc"s, using a y connector. Which channel do I use? do I still just use xh1. And ch 3 is sil left open?

You can run twin speedos of pretty much and radio system. You just cant take advantage of any of the reasons most run dual speed control without the hack. You would not have use of biasing or front dig and rear burn. I don't think you are looking to run 2 separate batteries but more like 2 3.6v packs in series for 7.2? Or are you wanting to run one pack to one esc and the other packto the other esc? If the later is the case no that wont work out for you as you are only supplying 3.6v.
Correct and the vcc channel is for your bec if you have one.

No, I was thinking of running 2 3.7v packs to each esc for 7.4 volts to each esc, one 3.7 pack at each wheel with a external lipo cutoff, or is it better to just run one 7.2 battery for the whole setup? I'm just wondering about haveing enough piwer to run all my servos. I am going to run (2) traxxas servos up front and 1 hitec hi torque out back. Would I run front servos ob one esc and the rear servos on the other esc? Will I have enough power from one 3000 mah nimh?. And thanks guys for the help.

Losikid, very cool hearing you getting more R&D done on other projects...congrats.
also, I might be (in the near future) be needing a pot for say channel 4 or something like that...need winch up down stop (in any combo) and then another channel to be linear...not for steering, for another idea I have for my scaler.

Max of 1 pot....all the other buttons/switches arn't a/d encoders.
But you can do linear digitally.
I've got abunch of cool stuff thought up...Top on my list is a new breed of dig switch. Next parts order i put in i'll have some stuff to start testing main ideas with, and get a feel of how the technology works....Then i'll get a couple test units protyped so i can start experiment with the more advance, wicked cool features. Only info about the features i'll release is there will be more functionality than dual esc's, and a mixing radio is not required...

cool, I would only need one pot.
look into bullet proof winch controler, besides a esc....course I would say that would be pretty much impossible....so just use a ESC

Actually, I'm working with another vendor on a winch controller. It won't be overkill brand though, but it will handle aton of power....
i had a question with my setup, i hacked the remote and i got the 4 wheel steer setup but for some reason my rear steer only works in one direction. i can reverse the servo and it still on works in one direction. i feel like there is a setting in the remote i have screwed up. any help would much appreciated.

subtrim on both channels, make sure switches are set properly. If everything else is OK, its not the hack. If other issues, re hack it. Mine took three tries for all settings. The third didnt do anything more, but confirm ed
