4th channel on Airtronics M11
Hi, this is my first post, and I'm extremely new to the RC world. I have a question about the Airtronics M11. Am I correct that the 4th channel cannot be used to power lights or other auxiliary items...just braking? That lights can only be controlled on Ch 3?
Any help would be appreciated.

Normally the 4th channel is for brake bias for front & rear braking systems on a Buggy or Truggy, most lighting systems are of the manual switch type. It would be difficult but not impossible to achieve this through clever design.

Any chance you'd know how or know where I should start looking? Or am I better off finding a different radio (perhaps the Nomadio React)?

I know what you mean,I wanted the spektrum dx3r for my baja 5b to switch on/off the lights,but the radio doesnt have a seperate switch to accomodate this.in the end I bought a dx6 (stick type radio) to allow for this.

A hitec lynx 3d or any hitec 3 channel radio can do it. I use the 3rd channel to shift to reverse. It can be use to turn on lights. Any 3-4 channel radio can do it. You just need another servo.
