Unit Cable Hoe

Scott,

Where are you finding your donor units? I've been telling myself I need to get to some yard sales this spring to see if I can find anything to convert.

Looked at the local antique stores but didn't really see anything.

Also, do you have any pictures of the electrical connections for the hoe pivot? Did you use an audio jack?

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

i bought both of my Units off ebay years ago. Now they ask crazy prices for them.

i run a JR 9503 in the cable Hoe and with JR & Spektrum you can bind multiple rx's to one radio at the same time. So, i have a separate battery, rx and power switch in the undercarriage.

i use these $6 rx's from hobby king:

Scott,

I sort of thought, "that would be cool if you could do the two RX thing!" I wonder if you can do that with the DX6i?


I guess I need to look for some garage sales and see if I get lucky!

Scott,

Another question. Where are you getting the brass pulleys, like on the stick?

Thanks

Jim

PS I tried binding two RX to my DX6i and that does work.

Jim.

The pulleys are meccano pulleys and can be found on ebay UK.

The are from vintage mechanical toy sets.

With Spektrum, the rx's won't work simutaneously, a model change in the menu is necessary. Is the JR or Hobby King rx's any different.

The way i understand it, as long as the rx's are the same, you can bind an infinite number of them to a radio at one time.

In other words for example: you can take 10 ar6110e rx's put them all in bind mode and then hold the bind button on your tx and turn it on and it will bind to all of them and control of them at the same time.

i received a private message with a couple of questions...

The track chain is #35 chain with k-1 links on every other link.

The track pads are made out of aluminum nosing that is used for counter tops.

Folks, don't be afraid to ask questions in the thread you have questions about. Most people enjoy talking about their builds and don't mind sharing information.

Have fun!
