chris harte Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 If i was to use the Tx with a 4 channel receiver could I use the 4th channel by using a switch on the TX even though its only 3 channels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris harte Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 what car is it for? It will be for use with a king hauler truck. I don't fancy spending an extra ninety + pound for a new TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris harte Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 If I was to run the kit on 3 channels what could I use the 3rd channel for without the MFU unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not 100% sure even though i own a 3speed high lift and scania truck. it would be best to ask on www.tamiyaclub.com/forum they will give great help about trucks etc Edited February 21, 2008 by amritpal_sehra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 ive just remembered. 1st channel = speed controller 2nd channel = steering servo 3rd channel = servo for gear change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 one question...does the futaba 3gr-fs have digital trims? if so then theres a probelm-the transmitter has to have manual trims else it wont perform as good as it would with the mfu.

I thought it might be something like that. Does it auto gear change with acceleration on the TX or do you have to stop and press the 3rd channel?

Does it auto gear change with acceleration on the TX or do you have to stop and press the 3rd channel? its like a real car!! you change gear from the transmitter.the left stick doesnt go up and down like the 2 channel-it goes in a gear pattern. like this: clicky every 4 channel transmitter will be like this.you have to buy the gear guide seperate-this will stop you gear grinding as its a guide to show which direction to change gear in .the top 3 are 1st gear,2nd and third.the bottom is 1st,2nd,3rd but reverse.

Do you need any particular spares also? ive never heard of there being probelms with them(as long as you build it right) and i dont think you need any particluar spares Edited February 21, 2008 by amritpal_sehra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Blue_Dragon Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) tip is to empty the parts bags into little boxes because the parts are all over and it just makes it easier When getting the radio system remember to get one with manual trim, you can use digital trim but its alot slower Edited February 22, 2008 by The_Blue_Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
