Of course sensors are illegal, but a mechanical system would be allowed, now this was Paul saying what he thought he could remember, I gave him a link to the article and he said he would look at it, but he was impressed with what was done!!!
There will be interviews up on rc-area soon and I ask Paul in an interview.
does this rule not mean you can not put those servos operating the brake on the third channel?

23.12 The use of sensors fitted to wheels, lay-shafts or suspension units to aid traction control
54
or active suspension is prohibited. The use of the third channel parameter on a receiver
is limited to external power supply only (no signal circuitry allowed).

which he is definatly doing

"I am using a Futaba 4PK to control my Durango which is a 4 channel controller that also has a menu to use the third and fourth channels to control brakes which automatically mixes those with channel 2 which is the throttle/rear brake."
