SuperChamp82 743 Posted July 18, 2021 Afternoon all, I’ve ordered an MFC 02 kit for a Mountain Rider build with my daughter and somewhat hurriedly (admittedly after a glass …) bought the recommended Futaba 4YWD RC set. A little Sun avo reading now suggests the 2.4 version I’ve bought won’t work with the MFC 02 ? Is that right ? Or am I spared flipping it on eBay ? 🙄 If I’m stuffed, what’s the best alternative RC as the 4YWD AM version that apparently works fine seems hens teeth to find ? Which sort of makes the MFC 02 an amazing, dead duck ! In fact, maybe I’ll sell it and keep the Futaba 😂 Thanks in advance, SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted July 19, 2021 Not sure with the MFC-02, but with the MFC-01 there was a running change, where it went from compatability with the 27mhz 4VWD to the 2.4ghz 4YWD. I have a early MFC-01 where it won't function with a 2.4ghz unit, I have kept my 2 old 4VWDs, and am putting the old MFC-01 in a truck at the moment, rather than not use it at all. I am not sure where the MFC-02 sits with this changeover. I highly doubt you could buy a MFC-02 That's been sitting on the shelf long enough that you would require finding/purchasing an older 4VWD now anyway. I would assume you would be safe. Have you opened the instruction booklet? I think one of my newer MFC-01s had a pink leaflet in it, that told me it was to be used with the 4YWD 2.4ghz system... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChamp82 743 Posted July 20, 2021 Massively helpful - thanks @berman The 4YWD has arrived but the MFC isn’t due for another week I’ll check and update here so others know 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted July 21, 2021 I had so much trouble trying to get the MFC-01 to work with the digital trims that I never tried to make them work on my MFC-02 units. I’ll be curious to see if you can get them to work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChamp82 743 Posted July 29, 2021 So it looks like the MFC is 2.4Ghz - pic attached of the box side ? Its citing the 2.4Ghz Futaba 4YWD as compatible but the 4YWD set I bought has a newer RX: R214 GF-E not the R204 GF-T recommended / pic attached ? Does anyone know the difference between the RX ? @Shodog @berman And if I’m likely ok ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperChamp82 743 Posted July 29, 2021 Interestingly - the manual inside the MFC box refers to the T4VWD / AM set - pic attached So I’m now clueless as to which works 🙄 @berman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted July 30, 2021 You will be fine. Plug it all up on the table (incl speaker but sans LEDS) with a battery and do the end point setup. Bet it goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
