Hi, a quick question - Do you have to operate the transmitter stick to the diagonals to go in a straight line forward and back with this setup? Cheers

[teamorr96]

@ajwguitar Hi there,

on this robot i did have it set up on the diagonals, however that can be easily rectified with about 5 minutes of setting up the transmitter mixer. mess around with settings as well as what channels you have the servos plugged into until you have what you want.

My mate said that you'd need a mixer to get the wheel movements onto one stick. And epic Gordon Brown remix thing.

@wightknight121 Not so, at least usually. are you using servos or motors? more modern equipment doesnt require a mixer and i havnt used one...ever. and i have built about 60 of the damn things 0-0

@teamorr96 Sweet. Well servos this is the first bot we're making I just needed to know thanks. My mate got a starter kit for £60 I just don't think he wired it up right. Well thanks again.
