FS-GT5 to control T-Lock on TRX4

[itr1275]

I have TRX4 with the TQI radio. The 3-posistion switch on the top allows me to unlock all diffs, lock the front diff, lock both front and rear diffs. The 2-pos toggle allows me control the H/L trans.



I also have a Flysky FS-GT5 TX and would like to use that for the TRX4. I can use CH 3 for the H/L trans. However, I don't know of a way to to use the CH 4 with the 3-pos switch for the F/R Locking diffs? It's one channel and two servos. Traxxas uses 2 separate channels on it's receiver.



Traxxas makes a T-Lock Electronic Differential Controller, but I can't find any docs on how it works?

Yup, I saw that one. Unfortunately it doesn't tell me how to use the T-Lock controller. I sent a PM to BashNSlash for details. I'm assuming that PM is working, I know Emails are not.

It is possible to change out the 2 variable knobs for channel 5 and 6 to 3 position switches. You have to solder 2 resistors inline of the switches pins that output the signal from each direction of the switch. Kinda had to explain but I will be doing it to my gt5 soon and will post up a tutorial.

Nope, I know exactly what you mean.

Can you also post pictures? :mrgreen: I want to see the inside space availability.

I want to "short" either Channel 5 or 6 with a normally open momentary push button. This way I can have a push button channel while still preserving the variable pot functionality.
