I just received in a new radio that I will be adding to my SCX10, the Futaba 4PL 2.4GHz pistol radio:
This is their lower end, 4 channel, 2.4GHz, pistol grip transmitter. It is a nice and lightweight radio, using only 4 AA batteries for power. The 3-channel system I have it in now is good, but it does not have a 3 position switch for the 3rd channel. Why would I need a 3-pos switch? Well I plan to pick up a scale, working winch from RC4WD. They are some nice looking winches, and a 3-pos switch would allow for easy operation. And you can't have a scale off-road truck with out a working winch, can you? And since this is a 4 channel radio that also just happens to have a 4WS mix, I have a new mod project on my 2013 list to give my SCX10 4WS capability. Now I know there aren't many full size 4WD trucks, but since I do have the Proline Helios body (aka the Halo Warthog) having both a winch and 4WS will make for some great scale times.
Looks like I might have to postpone getting the awesome scale looking Axial Wraith Rock Racer kit.
Once I have performed the radio transplant, I'll work on getting another SCX10 video going.
Got Rocks, will crawl.
