Joysticks out the WAZZOO! CHEAP!

[FreddyGearDrive]

I'm done Dickin around with radios,& spendin a ton on them. THEN! They still don't do what I want. So did some diggin in my bone yard today.
& came up w/4 joysticks.
All's you need is a couple of these.

Now here's the tricky part. If you place them just right against each other.It's almost like it's ment to be.

Then add tape!

Now be careful not to cover the important stuff w/the tape.
Man!! You won't believe how nice it works!
You can reach all 4 sticks at once!

Now when you Boys are done laughin,just remember this when you want to be able to feather control a bunch of different things on your build.
Ive spent a ton of doe on radios & can't non of them do what this does.
I used this today to set up my plow truck. Good thing I don't have another hand,I'de been touching my own stick,when I saw how good this worked! :D
Just thought I would share this CHEAP FIX!

Freddy - only you would come up with needing 8 full channels on one truck and not have a trailer attached.....

Freddy, way to think outside the box and make something that would work for you.

[tc1cat]

Freddy, I agree. Duct tape or velcro at the bare minimum:eek: All kidding aside this is a nice fix to a large problem for most of us. Just wait til Paul sees this! Can't wait for all of the BS to start!!!

:eek: Holy CRAP! My eyes are burning what the double hockey sticks is this BS you are the master builder and this is the best you can do Fhhing black tape and and piggy back the remotes???? Ok it is a good idea but come on man you have $2000.00 dollars it the truck and you pull this I would of thought some sweet little brackets holding them together and a hinge and they wing open to change the batterys but not TAPE?

FGD Good On You ! You can't wipe the smile off my face with a shittty stick right now that is very cooool. Need some video.. I thought about using two radio's for my log loader, one for the undercarrage and one for the house, no messing around with a slip ring....

Freddy,
Us Aussies say K.I.S.S.??? Translated it means Keep It Simple Stupid,

You're gonna have to change your handle to Cooter.

[Espeefan]

Interesting. Why not run one radio with your feet, and the other with your hands? Or better yet, take the radios apart, rig the pots to a steering wheel, gas and brake pedals, and some levers, all bolted to a chair? :D

[pugs]

So now, that you've had it for a bit, hows the model working. No glitches from the 2 transmitters being so close to each other or having 2 recievers in the same model??

[Darkrider]

Def a good budget set up for a first time builder.
