Mustang I have converted one to self centering and yes thew parts are available cost about $ 10.00 in parts maybe less. There is a problem here you have to send the radio back to Airtronics to have it reprogrammed for this. Ed

I'm curious what you had to have reprogrammed by Airtronics? The only thing that I found after conversion was the need to hold the throttle in the now full reverse position when turning the radio on in order to cancel the throttle low alarm but after it comes on I release the throttle to neutral, fire the truck up and it works fine. What haven't I found yet?

Thumbs up Re: Wut is the best way to set up the rds8000

When I did my radio to make it self centering it would not shut off the alarm. I called Airtronics and they said I had to send it back and have it reprogramed for the left stick self centering. If yours is working all right I wouldn't worry about it, they did not charge me for it and they paid to send it back. Ed

Also I noticed the throttle channel is on the right with this radio is this correct I have 5 trucks to build and I really want a good 2.4 radio to run them with. I hope I made the right choice
