RE: Fun things to do with 3rd Channel
 

Powercute...

And I actually need to come up with a way to due this... I was thinking of a CO2 propelled cute.

I am going to add a water pump to my axial so it looks like a fire truck when it squirts water :D

RE: Fun things to do with 3rd Channel
 

HAHA. Someone already mentioned at the track if we could make a Tmaxx drag the hoze and water down the track ;)

RE: Fun things to do with 3rd Channel
 

I really like the idea someone mentioned earlier! Using the 3rd servo to actuate a self-righting mechanism, especially on a crawler! :D

i wish i could put a srvo under my car to control when to pop wheelies:D

RE: Fun things to do with 3rd Channel
 

Try a gyro for wheelies? Kinda doubt it would work, but it would be col to try.

With a 3rd channel (which I have and might try), put a camera on it. Not sure what good it would do to take stills, but it would still be cool!

Other ideas... Spray can for making lines/graffiti. Wait, who said graffiti? Wasn't me :eek: or any kind of shooting mechanism (airsoft, paintball, BB's, water gun (not the best idea in electrics..).

A third servo could be used to run a camera, left to right, but consider using a fourth servo and you can move the camera up and down as well, now add real expencive VR headset and electronic system to it and you have VR camera driving.
You sit on a seat in the shade pull the VR goggles down and drive, and you can turn your head left right up down and get about 60 degrees of angle view.Amazin !
Been done on planes looks AWSOME !

gunna do it or wot digger ?

Where do you get the power for this? Do you just plug it onto the receiver somewhere? Please explain. Thanks Ron

The receiver puts out 5-6 volts. For powering a siren and lights youd need to put a switch in on that 3rd channel. 3rd channel throws switch to off and on sending the 5 to 6 volts to your lights or whatever accessory you have wired in.

Ive done a few things and have pics if anyone wants to see

reverse on a traxxas 3.3 revo
Mechanical Dig on a scx10
electronic Dig on a clodbuster
4 wheel steering (on/off and crab/normal)
on/off lights
on/off smoke machine
Camera Pan/tilt on a FPV setup
FPV camera and VTX on/off
SCX10 Winch

these are the switches i use... and for $8 u cant go wrong

this one is possibly my more complicated ones (due to naze32, minimOSD, 600mw vts, FPV setup).... ATM its got a 6ch receiver that uses the 3ch to turn on/off the FPV setup.
it use to have pan and tilt, but the mechanism was to sloppy for a crawler. it was fine on a quad copter but on a crawler it just got shaken around

here i think i have a video

here is it mixed with the steering.... bad idea.... impossible to drive

and on its own set of switches.

In the end i removed all that crap and my picture quality is heaps heaps better..... and once the camera is set, u dont need to move it... well IMO anyway lol

if u guys need help sing out..... and ill leave u with this pic.... its a 1/32 truck im building that has a 6ch receiver thats stacked with a 10a ESC.... :) who knows what the future will hold for this thing

haha I forgot about this...
