Hello all. I’m new to Tanks and new to this forum so apologies in advance if I’m offending anyone by posting in the wrong section etc etc.

I've bought a 1/16 Mato Tiger, I should like to upgrade the radio so that I have dedicated switches for guns lights etc. I read on various forums that people have used the Turnigy 9x with the Clarke TK22 to a achieve this. However I cannot find information about how this is configured, whether particular firmware is needed on the Tx or what. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Nic

Maybe this will help

interesting, but unfortunately I still have no idea how you use a Tx with greater than 4 channels with the Clarke TK22 board that only accepts 4 inputs from a Rx.

What is it you want to run

the machine gun and light are already on the control toggles
I have other servos on other switches controlling the drivers hatch...plus the elevation and recoil

I should like to be able to put main gun fire & recoil on one toggle, machine gun on a second, lights on a third and sound/smoker on a fourth. One stick for forward/reverse, left and right. The second stick for turret rotate and gun up/down.
I came across and old post on this forum from someone saying they had done this, but no explanation of how.

on the tk22 the servo recoil is j2, the elevation servo port is j4
this is all done with channel 1 through 4

Yes I have seen this, perhaps I’m just being dense but I don’t see how this answers my question

ok I was typing my responce when you specified what you ment.
What you would need to do is set mixers on your switches.
e.g switch 1 is +50% channel 1 and -100 channel 4
I used to have it set for my tamiya truck for the 5th wheel.
It has been too long ago that i had a 9x to specify how exactly this is done.
