Title: Gear Shift
Post by: osika on October 15, 2020, 07:00:34 PM

Curious how difficult it would be to add a gear shift option? Perhaps 3-4 "shifts" at adjustable percent speeds.

There is an option as you already know to have a "manual gearbox" where you must select forward, reverse or neutral using a switch on the transmitter, and then the throttle stick simply controls the speed within the selected. However I do not have multiple forward or reverse gears, just the one.

Rad was able to create a multiple gear effect using some programming on his 9X transmitter, you might find it interesting to read about what he did which is discussed in this thread (http://openpanzer.org/forum/index.php?topic=83.0).

Hey Luke..thanks! Yes the transmission engage and breaking and things like nudge etc are great. Adding gear shifts
would be nice but imo you have 99% here already! Again just reading about all the systems out there..TCB is to me
the most flexible, effective and easy to use. :)
