H has any body changed a gimble control to two on-off-on switch's, is this possible, I think so, But.

Hello,
Type of radio,and electronic circuit board of the tank ??fonctions ??

Hi, I do not understand fully what you are asking.As for the Radio it's an old 6ch Radiolink that I am playing around with, as for the c/board I do not think it relavent as I was thinking Servo.

What i meant was what kind of radio programmable or not, and the type of electronics equiping the tank,and wath do you opérate ?

Let's keep it simple (because that's me) what I was thinking , say you want to operate four servo's from one gimble to operate four diffent fuctions, could i remove the gimble and replace same with two "on-off-on" moment switch's, example,, up=servo 1, down=servo 2, right=servo 3, left =servo 4, I am not a great understander of radio control as the last RC i dealt with was back in 1958 when I was 15, and am now allmost 76, so give me a break please.

Not possible.
The Gimbal consist of two channel.
1.Channel = Gimbalstick UP-Down
2.Channel = Gimbalstick Left-Right
You need one channel to drive a Servo.
With an extra electronic it is possible to switch Functions on/off by Gimbal.
There is a lot of manufactorers which offer this electronic.

If each axis on the joystick can operate one servo, you could have each servo operating 2 push button switches onboard, they could either be push on/off or momentary.
Would that do?
I’ve seen RC truck lads use a gate on the joystick & use them this way.

That's what i was thinking Wayne, thank you, will start playing and will post what happens, if I still have a transmitter( exsperimental) or not.

Yep, I’m like a tramp on chips
