The Armortek Option 1 manual recommends the radio channels be setup like this:

"Channel 1 track steering
Channel 2 both track forward/reverse
Channel 3 winch
Channel 4 (front) wheel steering"

Then how to check if everything is hooked up right:

"Move the left hand stick forward and both main motors run in reverse.
Move the left hand stick back and both motors run forward.
Move the left hand stick from side to side and one main motor runs in the opposite direction to the other..
(then it tells how to check the winch... then)
Move the right hand stick from side to side and high torque servo operates."

And Maus45, I ordered that turngy v-mix thingy and'll try to figure it out when it (and the motors) get here. Thanks!

And here's a pic I just took of the original Armortek wiring harness. The two BIG boxes on the left is the two ESCs, one for each track.

This all came out of the rear of the halftrack (the two batteries were in the front under the hood). I'm going to do just like I have been and replace all this with Sabertooth ESCs cause they take up a LOT less room and are, in my opinion, easier to wire (especially for ME!)
