Default M-11 Trigger throw - Can it be changed?

I purchased an Airtronics M-11 radio a while ago and am now getting around to using it (retiring the Airtronix MX-3). Today I discovered that the trigger is set at a 70/30 throw and there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust this. Am I totally wrong, or is there a screw somewhere to change this? I'm trying to use it with my Slash and the Traxxas speed controller is giving me fits. Now, I know that I can probably adjust the Traxxas speed controller for a 70/30 split, but I'm really wondering if the M-11 can be adjusted.

Am I stuck with 70/30 on the M-11 trigger?


Thanks in advance for any intelligent responses.

Well, I completely disassembled my M-11 last night . After about 30 minutes of tinkering, I came to the conclusion that unless somebody actually manufacters a modified trigger tension bar (which is what creates the 70/30 neutral stop point) there is no way to change the 70/30 split. Modifying it on my own may not necessarily resolve the issue because I'm not sure if the potentiometer that the trigger is attached to requires a specific center point, or if its a variable pot where the center doesn't matter. Either way: I'm not interested in wrecking my radio to find out.

I'd still be interested to know if anyone had come up with a solution or mod for the M-11 trigger.

Default Is there not an electronic way to adjust this?

ie EPA adjustment? I would recommend a trial using this to determine if you can get the feel you are looking for. Sorry for stating the obvious but you never know where an idea will come from.

No, it's not adjustable. No, to my knowledge no one has made a mod for it because there is no need for it. Get used to the new trigger, that's how all high end radios are. All you need to do is adjust the speed control or the radio settings to match the new radio.
