Tactic TTX650 4WS setup

Here is my write up to configure the Tactic TTX650 for crawler 4WS.  This is based on my Venom Creeper.

Mode 2 Channel setup:
Channel 1 – Aileron – Rear Steer
Channel 2 – Elevator – ESC (forward/reverse)
Channel 3 – Throttle – Remote Diff Lockers (down=locked/up=unlocked)
Channel 4 – Rudder – Front Steer
Channel 5 – AUX5 – Remote Light Switch > Switch B (2-position switch)
Channel 6 – AUX6 – Remote Dig Unit > Switch E (3-position switch)

Radio setup steps:
  1. Turn on radio and select model.
  2. Press ENTER to enter menu.
  3. Scroll down to PROGRAMMABLE MIXER and press ENTER.
  4. Select Mix1 and press ENTER.
  5. For input channel (mix left selection), press ENTER.
  6. Scroll through to CH4 (rudder), press ENTER.
  7. Scroll to output channel (mix right selection), press ENTER.
  8. Scroll through to CH1 (aileron), press ENTER.
  9. Scroll to RATE L, press ENTER.
  10. Change percentage to +100, press ENTER.
  11. Scroll to RATE R, press ENTER.
  12. Change percentage to +100, press ENTER.
  13. Scroll to INH, press ENTER.
  14. At prompt to “Chose the Control Switch”, moves desired switch for mix. For me, this is Switch A.
  15. Press ESC to exit Switch settings.
  16. Press ESC to exit Mix1 settings.
  17. Scroll down to PROGRAMMABLE MIXER and press ENTER.
  18. Select Mix2 and press ENTER.
  19. For input channel (mix left selection), press ENTER.
  20. Scroll through to CH4 (rudder), press ENTER.
  21. Scroll to output channel (mix right selection), press ENTER.
  22. Scroll through to CH1 (aileron), press ENTER.
  23. Scroll to RATE L, press ENTER.
  24. Change percentage to -100, press ENTER.
  25. Scroll to RATE R, press ENTER.
  26. Change percentage to -100, press ENTER.
  27. Scroll to INH, press ENTER.
  28. At prompt to “Chose the Control Switch”, moves desired switch for mix. For me, this is Switch D.
  29. Press ESC to exit Switch settings.
  30. Press ESC to exit Mix1 settings.
  31. Press ESC to exit PROGRAMMABLE MIXER.
  32. Press ESC to exit SETTINGS menu.

This setup allows the following steering options:
  1. Switch A and D off (set to 0 position) = Independent control of Front and Rear steering.
  2. Switch A on only (set to 1 position) = Crab Crawling.
  3. Switch D on only (set to 1 position) = Tight steering.
With this setup I have the most control I can get with the steering.  This, for me, is a massive improvement over having the 4WS modes cycle through by repeatedly pressing a button.  I can near instantly access the steering mode I want to use.
