Sweet! So the undercarriage can be narrowed up? Is that transport mode? I know some of these machines are like that. The grapple looks awesome. Is it brass, soldered together? I'd paint it. It will look better.....not that it's really neat to look at models in a raw state, but finished, it will just look more realistic.

Radio mixes aren't to hard to do, assuming you have a computer radio that is programmable. Some are easier then others. With my Futaba, I can pick and choose what channels to mix, and even turn off or on that mix when I need it. Check your manual, but usually the steps are similar. You go to the mixing channel menu, pick a master channel, assign a slave channel, then adjust how much you want the slave channel to react to inputs from the master. Usually set up on a graph, as a curve, with a percentage of movement.

I.E. the master channel shows +10% stick movement, and if you assign the slave to mimic the master at 50% mixing, it will follow the master channel by outputting half of the movement that the master does, so it would be at +5% travel, throw, throttle, ect. If you keep the master/slave mix ratio at 100%, both channels will have equal, linear movement. A negative percentage mixing value can make the slave channel move the opposite direction. Don't be afraid to play with it. It's pretty easy once you figure it out. Practice with a couple servos plugged into a receiver. Watch how they react when you adjust the mixing value. That's the best way to learn it.
