Modifying a Traxxas TQ3 radio for rear steer or winch operation

29/1/2007 By Moogie

 As you may have read on other web sites, most people who use these radios, change the two position switch, for a three position one, to enable the use of, rear steer, front dig, gears or winch.
So here is how its done.

First remove the battery cover and the fixing screws.


Now open the back of the radio carefully and remove the two fixing screws that hold the switch in place.


Time to get the soldering iron out! Desolder the three wires from the switch, remembering which went where.

Take your new switch (same type as i used for the stick radio) and tin the contacts.



Next reattach the three wires and insert into the top of the old switch slot.


Position as required and fix with the locking washer and nut.

Finaly, replace the back and battery cover.

That's it! all done and not to hard. Wink
