Status: offline 		Hi,

I'm new with RC Tanks, I bought a Tamiya Tiger I 56010 Kit, but at the moment of the RC Equip setup I can't make work the MF-01, I always have the orange light blinking and don't hear nothing from the speaker. I make the self test and heard the motor sound, MG light and the recoil effect. Please can you help me? What I doing wrong?

Thanks

Antonio

Status: offline 		I'm not familiar with the Futaba T6XAs and R146iP Rx. I use the Spekrum 6i 2.4 ghz transmitter and ar600 rx. I follow the directions for connecting the DMD channels 1-4 to the rx and then I bind my rx to the transmitter. There is a plug that goes into the battery terminals on the rx for binding on my rx. I then turn on power to tank and my rx is flashing (telling me I need to bind to rx), I then hold a switch on the transmitter (for me it's the trainer switch) and turn on power. The rx will be bound to the transmitter when the rx stops flashing and turns to solid light. I then release the trainer switch on transmitter (b/c it's now bound), and take the plug out of the rx.

You might have to do something similar to this. Check your Transmitter/rx manual.

Status: offline 		I believe there is a way to do a test on the two control units. I cannot rememebr how, but the manual should tell you. I suppose it is possible there is a problem, though they are usually pretty good. Check all of the connection first and then do a self test.

The Tamiya electronics can be quirky with PCM type radios.
