"Houston, we have a problem"
m18: Something accrued to me last night after I ordered the GWS speed control. I don't think they are going to work in our cars.
Consider this. In an airplane application the throttle stick starts (at idle) in the farther-est down position on the transmitter. or 0%, as you move it forward the % increases until you get to the top of the stick movement which would be +100%. Now on our application our throttle stick (trigger) movement starts (from the neutral position) at approximately +50% and as we pull the trigger it goes up to +100% and when we push it forward (brake or reverse position) the % goes down to 0%. I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand what I am saying.
Now MAYBE this could be overcome with some programing work on a powerful computer radio. I have a JR XS3, and that is what I ordered the GWS receiver to be compatible with. I am pretty sure that JR does not have that programing capability. I also have a Futaba PJ3 with a spektrun mod, but I am trying to avoid buying that $100 micro spektrum Receiver.
Anyway I ordered the GWS ESP from Tower. I am going to call them and ask them to change it out for a Novak SPY, before it gets sent. As I measure things, it appears I can get the SPY and the tiny GWS receiver on the MICRO T without doing any mods to the chassis.
