Driving stick with dual MM is doing my head in a bit - Steering is fine but independent fwd/back etc will take some getting used to... Only issue now is the servo is really not up to the job.
I think I'm going to have to pinch a 5955 from the GTP...

Generally you use a radio that will allow you to mix the 2 throttle channels with the left/right on the left stick. That way forward and back drives both motors togehter, but any angular motion will make the rear motor stop or drive backwards (I will not be able to do this with the dx5e, but I will be using it for a scale truck and a roll back flatbed 6x6). I guess that you could use the left stick for the front, and the right stick for the rear motors, and just manually do dig and other functions (huge burnouts!) with your fingers. Would be weird to use only one stick for steering, but both for forward motion. I guess the left stick could be front motor and steering, and the right stick would be rear motor and rear steering. Sounds like a real mind f@#! to me... I guess you would get used to it, like playing video games on a new controller/system...
I do not have a dual motor/axle crawler, but they do seem cool, and I really like the 4ws on my cr01. I set the M11 up to do either crab/locked/opposite steering for the rear axle with the push of a button. Nice to have it proportional with the front steering and only have to turn the wheel to have both sets of axles work.
