How to reverse a servo direction?

Wtf ?‍

Right.....I emailed Savox making sure a reversing switch will be ok for use on it. So ridiculous how this thing is set up. Reading up on my 4PM manual now as we speak

Funny thing is...the radio that comes w the truck, FS-GT5 is a dang six channel radio and reciever...lol!

And why aren't you using it? It's not like your going to be driving it a 1/4 mile away from you doing speed runs. If a 6channel radio came with it that would make life easier I would go with that first . And I agree with Milo I hate my Futaba in that it's a royal PIA to set up.

don't you guys have 4pv radios? Didnt find my 3pv terrible to set up.

I’ve got a couple 4PLSs and I want to get rid of one and I’ve treated myself to 7PX but not used it yet.

Think that's the next stop on the futaba train for me as well.

I got the 7PX because I can use it on my Kyosho Mini-Zs as well and bin those ones off too.

Just wanted a better over all radio was all. Futaba came pretty highly recommend from many people. I can set the truck up on the 4 channel RX as its set up on that now...Primal has it set up using only 4 channels not even using 6. Went through the Futaba manual last night...there is a lot of info and will take me a short while to set up. But i don't think it will be a lost cause by any means. Just gonna have patience take it step by step.

My Futaba is a 4PLS. It took me a week to figure out how to set up my kill switch and set the fail safe for it on the BAJA. Just switching between Vehicles is chore where as The Flysky Noble is so much easier.

Pre-reading my manual helped. Thanks @Milo for the recommendation. I was done programming in about and hour and a half. Ran a 1/4 gallon through the truck and everything is working great. Fail safe, kill switch, everything. Still on the stock throttle and transmission servo as there is no way to switch that channel direction around without impacting my brakes. So no biggie. I will just wait to hear back from Savox on that reversing switch. Appreciate all the input fellas! Here is too a good start to the work week tomorrow! ??

 

[RickDizzle]

Savox got back with me. They said using a reversing lead is not an issue at all and the best option for my situation. So gonna do some research and see if I can track down a good one.

Futaba do them but they’re around $45

Drop in the bucket for a $3k+ rig.

Too true

 

[RickDizzle]

That one is a double..trying to find a single. May have to go w a no name one. Cant find a single on futaba sites and no one answers their phone anymore lol.

 

[Seandonato73]

Turnergy used to make one as well, they were cheap like $5.00.

cant you just buy a servo reverser? i don't know poop about electronics and i didn't really read the long ass thread tbh

 

[RickDizzle]

Scored one on Ebay for 8 bucks shipped that should handle the 2s voltage as well!
