[Cupton79]

Doesn't come with a switch
I had to buy for mine

Well... I’ll be a sumbitch pile a monkey nuts!

I have a spare one from my 2.0... ? wonder if it will work...

What’s needed to hook up the duel servos?

 

[DougStar]

I bought a 20awg from DDM sure yours will fit

 

[Cupton79]

Well... my spare fit! So that issue is resolved...

Next question is... how to properly hook up the duel steering servo setup..

couldn't you just use a Y splitter from both servos to the reciever??

 

[DougStar]

Put second servo in aux and slave it to the sreering

I don’t see why not honestly.. but I’ not sure if that’s the correct way or not.. which is why I asked lol don’t wanna mess anything up right outta the gate...

I only have a 3 channel receiver... ?... and 3rd channel I’m gonna use for the kill switch



Also... what goes here?

 

[DougStar]

My way you set center of each trim ect

Also... what goes here?

transponder most likely

 

[Cupton79]

transponder most likely

Ok so I haven’t forgotten anything lol


Since I only have one channel available for steering I’m gonna hook it up as follows...

Step 1- install splitter

Step 2- remove linkage

Step 3- power everything up.. zero everything out..
Step 4- reinstall linkage.. and adjust so that both arms slide on easily so they aren’t fighting each other..

Job done!

On paper.. that sounds like it should work ??

ideally u need a direct power lead like the mtxl comes with stock?...then the servos will drw thefe power from the rx lipo direct and not through the rx itself?

So that’s a factory harness for the MTXL?

Ooooo nice you putting in a red arrow motor

Yes sir! It’s a 34 revolver super pro mod I believe he called it... ?

Got one more tank at 3/4 throttle and break in will be complete on this motor.. I stuck it on my 2.0 for a bit to see how it ran.. definitely has plenty of power even at this early stage.. way more than the engine I modified myself.. of course this one is 34cc not 32... which I know in itself makes a difference

 

[DougStar]

Oooo ooo that sound awesome
They are fairly costly a well....... more than an OBR 34
