I havent had a lot of time to tinker with the truck lately due to work, but I've got nearly 2 weeks off for easter now so I **will** ( so long as it doesnt start raining again ) take the TXT-1 ( wrong thread brushless wonder LOL ) and shoot some video. I got my steering issue sorted out ( truck pulled to the left even with full trim applied ); turns out I didnt account for some funky changes I made internally. I had to swap the gimbles ( sticks ) over since this tx is setup for mode 2 operation ( left stick = throttle & rudder ), but speky decided to be gits and left out/ removed the spring-return mech that would normally recenter the stick when you left go ( on the vertical axis ). I swapped over the gimbles and reconnected the 2 sets of leads, but the 2 potentiometers ( throttle & rudder ) plug into different spots for either stick.... long story short > throttle trim is now done with the trim button for the rudder, and steering trim is done with the button for elevators ( instead of ailerons, since this is a plane/heli radio ). Got it figured out though, and also modified the sticks for ground use- left stick only moves up and down now, and right stick only moves left to right. Heres a few pictures:
You can see on the left stick I just used a tiny screw with a large flat head and screwed it down into a conveniently placed hole; this stops the smaller inner gimple from moving side to side. On the right stick I had to use 2 more of those random screws ( yay for saving random screws from broken appliances
) in holes in the gimble and the gimble frame, then glued them together with JBWeld to prevent the out gimple from movong up or down. Turned out really well and there is pretty much zero movement where I dont want it on the gimbles.
Video will be coming soon I promise, along with action pics- just gotta convince the weather & future brother in law to help me ( or I'll have a word with my little sister and she'll convince him- shes a bit feisty...
).
