Don't worry. It will propably take months for me to solve this thing,
so you have plenty of time to beat me on the finish-line :P

It's possible for me to get my hands on another RC equipment since my
father just placed his model airplanes on the shelf. But I don't want
to do it this way. (perhaps I should steal my brothers computerized
controller that has a switch between different recievers, then I only
need one transmitter :)  )

It would consume to much space I think. Then the wheels would look
*very* small compared to the truck :)

See my reply to John Jensen for more details of how I'm currently
planing to solve the "low number of channels problem".

Thanks!
