Ultimately they're who I should be upset with - they sold me a radio that shipped with firmware that causes signal dropouts and full throttle runaways and can't even make a steering servo rotate its full range.

I think this is a gross mis-characterization of the situation, but I'm not going to fuel any more arguments. This is not what this thread should be about.

I'm done with this radio.

I think this move is better for you and everyone else here.

I sometimes need to adjust the dual rate during the race. I know that I am being lazy by asking here, but I hope that someone will share their knowledge with me so that I can be lazy.
Thanks!

Here's a better tutorial on how to set up dual rates -

I studied EdgeTX LUA and created my own screen for Telemetry Script (I also referred to estill lua, thank you).

My concept is as follows.
- Reproduce the original screen as much as possible
- Display all the trim values ​​and GVAR that I need on one screen
- Alignment of physical trim position and on-screen trim position
- Display the trim value ± clearly.
- Return graphics to traditional stick position display

To use it, simply copy the attached file to the SD card and restore the model from the backup folder.
I wrote the script very clearly, so it's easy to modify it to suit your needs.

This is a great tutorial, the only issue is where ever you have the pot switch when you go from model to model that dual rate won't change. I was hoping to have a button that will change the dual rate that will save per model. Otherwise you have to readjust dual rate for every car when you switch models and that would be frustrating because each car has a different sweet spot fo the dual rate.

That's the biggest drawback to vehicles that require their own trim and other fine tuning settings in the TX. The only solution is multiple models. I built a template model and copy it for any new cars. If your using ELRS, your can go one step farther and enable model match. It's a number you configure that matches the TX model to an RX. Any bound RX will connect, but unless the model match matches the configured number the profile doesn't do anything.

If I have two radios and a dozen cars is it possible to bind all the Rx to both radios? Not to try and drive the same car with both radios at the same time but let's say I have a friend who wants to drive truck A while I drive truck B. What would be the best way to configure the radio and receiver?

I don't know first hand because I've never tried, but I think it would work with ExpressLRS. You have to use the same binding phrase for everything and enable model match. The risk is if both radios accidentally selected the same model at the same time. Hopefully someone here has tried it.

There is also a model lending feature too, but it would be less convenient.

Seems like multiple transmitters with the same binding phrase at the same time is not supported and not a good idea. There are discussions of alternate solutions. I'll refrain from offering any advice in this as it's being my experience, but I'm really interested in this as well as eventually my kids may want to join me in my RC hobby.

Where are these discussions? What are the other alternatives?

I think the most promising was this one where you set the bind to be "volatile" so the receiver always powers on in bind mode and you simply select bind on your transmitter each time:https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/discussions/2652] https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/discussions/2652[/url]

I originally though the Loan Model feature could be used, but that feature has been deprecated: https://www.expresslrs.org/software/loan-model/ (https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/pull/2542)

I did a little bit more reading about binding and it seems the Loan Model feature was kind of brought back... The bind mode for the receiver has three options: Persistent (normal mode), volatile (goes into bind mode every time you power-cycle), and "returnable" (this new method of loaning a model)

Thanks, I'll try some of these out and share my results

ExpressLRS Discord will get you the fastest results for questions. I am unable to post a Link. Just go to The ExpressLRS website, click quick start, and scroll to the bottom and click on the discord.

Thanks I will do that
