    I know in theory the dig setups the same, but I think what some of us noobs need is how the adjustments on the chan 4 would work vs the physical install. The electronics is where I get confused. This is a great vid btw, thanks for making it.

This is a huge jump up in capabilities and build quality from my Redcat Gen8 v1 (not all that bad as a trail truck and light crawling) which was my first crawler that I’ve had since original release.

    You won’t regret it! I don’t use dig as it’s not a feature I think I need. Not to say you won’t use it, but I find for the type of driving I do and the terrain I just don’t use dig enough to justify putting the servo in the truck. Since I mainly rock crawl with it I actually don’t even have the overdrive servo in the truck either and just have it locked into overdrive. Installing dig is essentially the same as overdrive, but in a different location (on the battery tray) and with a longer link. I can make a video on installing it if there’s enough interest, but I didn’t want to make a 20 minute tutorial on both since they’re essentially the same process. 🍻 and enjoy the new truck!!

    The dig install is exactly the same as overdrive, the only difference is the servo goes into the battery tray and you use a longer link for it. However the principle applies to check and validate the endpoints are set much like overdrive.

    With dig can you put the rear in neutral and overdrive the front as a sort of faster trail speed?

    If I wanted to hook over drive up on my rtr, wouldn’t I want it on channel 4 so I could have 6%, rwd only, and 40+% ? I don’t know I’m just asking, I haven’t done any of it yet. I would think dig on 3 and OD on 4 on the rtr controller.

    It depends on the application. If it’s an all around trail & fun climb truck then both (if I had to choose overdrive > dig). If it’s a dedicated crawler I’d lock it into overdrive and leave dig off personally. If you plan on doing any competitions with it both will have to be locked out for class 1/2
