Guys:

The problem with the hitecs is not that they need to be programmed or reversed. The problem is that they don't work on a "Y" harness. This is because they need to have a mod done at the hitec facility whereby they lower the requirement for the signal amps or volts or something -- it's not the main power, or even getting one of them reversed. I guess lots of people (apparently everyone) who try to put the hs5645's on a Y get this, BUT, problem solved -- I found a JR Matchbox out here and am picking it up tomorrow -- this should do it -- I am told they amplify or filter the signal and each servo connected gets the same signal as if in the receiver -- somebody correct me if I've made a mistake here -- dont' fully know what I'm talking about.

There's no way I can post pictures of the mod I did to the firewall -- it is way way too ugly. It wound up being such a hack job -- anyway it's done, but there was a structural support that was close to the bottom of the firewall on the inside -- I did not want to mess with that one and so my pipes stick out at a slight angle -- kind of looks funny -- Oh well. I do have some of the inside exposed to the outside, however, and may have to build a closing-off kind of wall thing.
