Hi Skottoman, i've done some read up on 4YF, and i might have discovery your problem, but i need to know more detail from you. When you said the 4YF doesnt work with the MFU, do you mean it totally doesnt activate the special functions, or it only activate some functions but not the correct way of activating it? If its the latter, i might be able to help you overcome it. Awaiting for your reply, Cheers

Thats funny, our DX6i n DX8 are also digital trim and they work fine with the MFU. Look like we have to find a 4YF 2.4 n test out.

Skottoman, have u tried the 4FY 2.4 with e Bruiser? From Futaba website, its been stated as "2.4GHz FHSS is not compatible with FASST systems, and the R2004GF receiver is compatible only with electronics created specifically for 2.4GHz FHSS systems." could that be the problem? Most, if not all the guys over here r using e Spektrum system without any issues. I have another fellow trucker who is also using DX6i, but w/o the dual rate, trying to get a video of it too.

here's a video of how to use the 2.4Ghz with Tamiya MFU by a fellow member from Singapore Radio use here is a Spektrum DX6i. [media=] [/media]From Video uploader: "Tamiya Scania R620 with MFC-01 demonstrating its special functions controlled via a Spektrum DX6i. Edit April 2012: I have had heaps of questions regarding the video. Despite what Tamiya, Spektrum or Futaba says, it is possible to configure your own radio to work with the MFC-01 (or any other Tamiya multifunction unit). What you need is a four channel radio that has dual rates. Dual rates have two settings, 0 (off), 1 (on). In 0, have your travel range set at 66%, and in 1, set it to 100%. Run through your MFC-01 setup with dual rates set at 0. Thus, when you engage setting 1, you access the special functions. You will see me flicking switches during the video. That's me activating the dual rates. Hope it works for you guys, because it works in every single one of my Tamiya models that use an multifunction unit - Tiger, Pershing, Leopard, Panther, and Scania." The main point to note here is you need a TX with dual rates

U might wanna go to www.scale4x4rc.org and check out some of the build there, http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27, they have some Peterbilt, Kenworth conversion. 2.4Ghz will work with the MFU, so no worry on that.

i should have the template kept somewhere in the room, need to search for it. will keep you updated on it.

mind if i post my mod for the side plate here too?

Hi donut, thanks for remembering me, nice progress on your SR. I've completed my mod too, check it out if you are interested.

I personally like the Wild One, FF03R, TRF RM-01, especially the shell. Got to save up $$$ for them.

Look like i got to do without a avatar for the time being..... Still... Thanks netsmithUK

HI NetsmithUK, i unknowing deleted my profile pix, and when i try to re-upload back, i cant seem to, the system kept saying file was too big, even though i have reduced the pix to the smallest size avaible, 100x75. i also saw that the recommend size is 200px or larger, what does that mean? one more thing, sorry for being long winded, what are the stars under the name in the profile for?

thanks!!!! nw to go look for some suitable shocks.....

hi guys, need some help... wats the shock length for clod buster? 104mm or 115mm?

Finally finished e SR2011 project. chose Red instead of Boxart Orange, driver in Yellow shirt, gun-metal wheels instead of white, narrowed width, shortened wheelbase, lower ride height, covered on the xtra holes, covered up the ugly side between the chassis and body.

i got a Q for JAnderson, where about did the idea of using those parts for narrowing the Sand Rover2011 front coming about?

congrats bro.....hoping to get mi soon too.....

actually no, havent had the time to start the build yet.

Thanks...

Small updates Chose red instead of orange Wheel chg to light gun metal color Driver painted, non boxart With decals & some minor details.... Still need to finish up the driver arm, apply clear coat and i shd have complete this project.

Another area i work on the SR was to cover the gaps between the chassis and body. You could see through here. This was what i did, its not finish yet, cant decide what material to use.

Finally went n got styrene to work on for the SR, End results not the best, but i can live with it. The big hole in the driver area, The front, With the styrene work done, next up would be to putty-fill up the gaps, sand down, smooth out, and i should be ready for paint.

Can anyone tell if the decals is the same? Thanks
