  2. So I think the main thing here that I can see is confussing us all is you dont have a spektrum handset so hence all the confusion over the radio gear. I am guessing its made by JR via Hobbyking? Saying that though it should have the alibity to be able to switch the D/R to 125% with the flick of one switch. (on the 3 channels not the throttle) But having not used one of these types of transmitter i am not 100% sure!

    There is a very good group that meet in Detling, Kent every month. Are you north or south london?

    To operate the D/R on the DX9 its just one button that as mentioned throws the 3 channels required. Its not used a huge amount mostly on startup and shut down, or if you are using the auto legs. Another option is you can change the horn sound on the MFC-03 as well so that gets a look in now and then :D

    Our next Tamiya Truckin show is in North weald at the end of June. This is a great outdoor show and we have a 15m x 15m layout.

    One other point the MFC-03 only has the horn working in the up direction. Holding the stick down gives you a rev mode! so you can do a slow launch if you have throttle up and then bring up the right stick! This is one of the main points on the 03 over the 01 unit.

  3. Just to Quickly add if you would like a setup program that i use on my Spektrum DX9 for both the 01 and 03 units, then let me know. I have set the bind button to throw the setting to 125% normal this allows the extra features to work on the MFC units. It means you cant accidently leave it in the wrong mode :D

  4. Yes it really makes it fun not having to keep turning off and then switch on the next truck when at a show, just turn them all on at the start and away you go :)

    You can actually set the mixes up on the spektrum sets to actually put the lights and such with a flick of a switch. You just have to play around with the mixes which takes the time!!


  5. Hi Berman, simple so long as the lights are not on when you do the remote shut down not an issue. Also I have even left the truck running so as to swap to another truck so I can move it out the way to let me park the current truck in its place. The system is not as grumpy as when I was using it on 40mhz.

    It brings on a complete new level when running the trucks on 2.4ghz Spektrum systems! I have had a total of 10 models on a layout all on at one point! Its great when visitors cant work out how and who is running the truck or cars :)

  6. The DX6i works well with the MFU the new DX6 is a nicer TX. I have a ".SPM" file that can be used on that. Plus it already has the throttle spring fitted all you do is undo the tension on the ratchet!! The best receiver to use is the Orange R620 w/failsafe. I have this running on my trucks with my DX9. It's great to have 4 trucks all turned on and able to swap with out going near them when on the layout!!!

    Servo I use are the Futaba S3003 as suggested above!

  7. As I have said this is my first rc product, I have no experience in this stuff. I guess you were talking about the yellow and green wires. Can you please point out to me the 5 pin plug?, the B plug in the reciever is connected to a switch on the back of the cab and then that goes to the battery pack. If I was to remove the battery pack then where do I send the B wire to?. I am in Matamata.

    The yellow and green wires from the motor, you need to slid the rubber cover over this on the yellow one so its like the green cable. The 5 pin plug is the connector along the bottom (as you look in the picture) of where all the lights plug in. This would normal be used for pluging in the trailer lights.

    Regarding the "B" plug just take it all out including the switch as this is not needed as all power is supplied from the mfu!!! This could be causing your even created the problems! So this is a major thing to remove!!!!!!!!

  8. Skottoman this was the only wire that was wrong and now it is fixed. Yes it is meant to free rev but I meant that the engine brake works in all 3 forward speeds like this but when the trim is in the centre the engine brake sound only goes off in low gear. Ant88 yes it has 4 AA's hooked up to the receiver. COuld this be the problem with the lights?, how do I fix that?.

    Remove the aa batteries all together! as this could damage many things even the mfu!! As power is already being feed from the mfu via channel 3 (ESC) to the receiver, you are overloading the system! Hopefully its done no damage to the electrics.

    Have you tried with the trims not moving to the full extent to flick the lights on?

    Ant


  9. It can be sometimes be when you move the trimes to activate the hazards and lights not to go to full extreme! It does this sometimes on my field force 6 sets!

    I also noticed you got an "AA" battery pack in there i hope you dont have this hooked to the receiver, as the power to the receiver is supllied from the MFU
