Title: Transmitter mods
Post by: Ian Robins on March 23, 2009, 06:15:38 pm

Hi all,
I have two sets of radio from the ripmax slingshot model boat, and I use these for my kids to use. but now they have club 500's and when the radio is fitted the servo travels the wrong direction. so question is

Can I fit a switch to reverse the rudder servo (servo reverse) or how do i do it manually?

thanks in advance

Ripmax do a servo reverser, I always thought it would have no use at all but you've just proved me wrong.

Can the servo arm be reversed and the servo re-mounted to suit?
Does the TX have reversing switches/links?  Some have small switches either on the front panel or on the side, some hide them in the battery compartment.
