Is there 6ch radio with regular 2ch Steering and speed

[bjorklo]

Ok, a bit hard to explain in the heading. I got the Ford hi lift, but it came with a plane 6ch radio and i find it a bit, not so fun to drive with. I'm wondering if there is a car radio where the steering and speed is like on any other 2ch radios, and the 4 other channels are on switches? I want switches for gears, light, horn, hazard. 

It don't have to be anything fancy and expensive

You're unlikely to find a multi-channel radio with only 2 channels on the sticks but take a look at this one, it's got a fair few extra channels on switches;

This bit especially;
2 and 3 position switches, momentary switches and self-centering proportional wheel switches (2 of each)

Thanks Twinset, will have a look at it.

Are you looking for a wheel or stick controller?

If you are looking for a wheel controller, an option would be a Flysky gt3b/gt3c or one of their clones and do the firmware mod. Then you can have a 6-channel (or even 8 max) controller with throttle and steering like a normal controller and the others channels can be freely assigned to the buttons/switches on the controller. More info about this is available on the internet.

Either or, I will for sure check it out. Thanks for the tip.

This looks fantastic value - anyone know more about it? 

I am toying with the idea of a 3 speed highlift with:

- 4 wheel steering - like to be able to mix both axles on the same stick, then using a 3 position switch: reverse rear axle for crab or turn it off.

- then use the other a 3 position switch for gear selection (instead of using a stick with a gate although this of course could be used)

- then 2 position for diff lock on/off (tempted by the German remote diff lock hop up)

- 2 position for lights on off

with throttle that makes 6 channels! at my count - am I up a gum tree or does anyone think this is achievable?

I'm guessing this might be an option but more expensive

Looks great, not to bad a price. But i don't want each stick to be 2 ch, not front and backwards and sideways on each stick . I would rather have it like a regular 2ch controller and the rest of the channels on different 2 and 3 way switches (for lights, horn and the gears)

Wow, this one would take me ages to learn all the functionality on   It's probably to good for me.

The Aquila 6 can have other channels mapped to the switches I believe (although I am trying to findout without much luck the detail) - so you could use the supplied plates to lock out the directions on the sticks you do not want to use and then configure the remaining switches for the other channels - I would like to know other than the included plates what else the 'Surface' edition of this controller does but it's every difficult getting any information from the website....

I think the only option to sort the 4WS is one of these:

But does anyone know how where to get them in the UK - or at least EU?

Ahh - Just ordered 2 from the States so I will report back once I have got them and tried it out.
