plastic ball links-lubrication?
just got my mx400 pro- how do you hook up the receiver?
the manual is very vague??
where does the esc plug go into the receiver?does it go into the 6/b channel
channel 1,2,3,& 4 are for the servos
5 is ? 6/b is ?
thank you
also- should i lubricate the ball links at all?-the plastic ones seem a little tight

RE: futab r156f receiver
The channels on the reciever are dependant on the transmitter. If the transmitter uses channel 3 for throttle, then channel 3 on the receiver is for throttle (esc). Consult you transmitter manual for proper connections.

RE: futab r156f receiver
thanks yade-the manual was vague and i am really new to this-channel 3 is the throttle
i wasn't sure so i know it is better to ask then to plug something in the wrong place

RE: futab r156f receiver
It looks like you are using a FUTABA radio obviously the channel layout is as follows
1. Ailerons
2. Elevator
3. Throttle (ESC)
4. Rudder (gyro)
5. Blank (unless u are using a GY401 gyro or similar with a second plug for in air setting changes)
6. Pitch servo (if using mCCPM mode a.k.a. = stock out of box config.)

No lubricatng the one big tail ball link will not work. I had to use 400 grit sandpaper and san the ball down ever so slightly (just a tiny bit at a time and then i sanded open the link also just a hair. Its really the only way to get it to work right. As far as the rest of the balls i didnt have one stug. They all fit perfectly with no binding.
