nitro man!

OK i have a tmaxx i just replaced my radio i was using with a futaba 3pm. I want to use the 3rd channel for something other than reverse. Any suggestions on what to use it for?

A flame thrower

I've always wanted to see one of those on an RC truck. Kinda like the flammer kits on full size vehicals. Pointless but looks cool[8D]

Mount an auto electric airsoft pistol on the truck and use the servo with a bar through the trigger spot so when you use the third channel it pulls the trigger and shoots without you having to re-cock the gun after every shot.

I just had to say that idea because I've always wanted to try it.


Sorry, but I can't really think of any practical uses for the third channel (if thats what you wanted).

Four wheel steering? It's really only used in rock crawling but looks cool in my opinion.

make a lowrider. my friend thought of this cool way, mount a servo that would somehow raise the suspension arms or something.

and the flamethrower idea's been done, I saw a video of it about a year ago and wasnt able to find it since, but if you wanna look for it, its on one of those websites that show stupid or extreme videos.

Use it to push the roll cage up so you dont have to flip the car back over manually, use it for lights or for hydraulic-like action (When you drive it lifts the suspension and the car raises.

rear steering like the other guy said. Purchase another servo, do a few mods and you got it working! If you want to see my e-maxx with rear steer, look in my gallery. I made a piece to turn it into rear steering using cheap aluminum siding from True Value hardware.

One of those RC airplane smoke kits would be cool. "Smoke" your competition!
