Thanks Dazman. I just got my DX6i yesterday and have been struggling with the setup. The user guides on the DAK site were only marginally helpful as the DX6 seems to have a totally different menu system to the DX6i.
With Dazman lighting the way, here's my setup for my Tamiya Panther (bearing in mind that I have Throttle/Steering on the left stick and Turret/Main Gun on the right):-
I needed to reverse channels 1-4 as everything moved the opposite way to my old Futaba.
DMD 1 (RUDD) to Rx RUDD
DMD 2 (THROT to Rx THROT
DMD 3 (M GUN) to Rx ELEV
DMD 4 (TURR) to Rx AILERON
MIX 1 (FIRES MAIN GUN)
GEAR > ELEV ACT
RATE D-125% U-0%
SW AIL D/R
TRIM INH
MIX 2 (FIRES HULL MG)
GEAR > ELEV ACT
RATE D+125% U-0%
SW MIX
TRIM INH
I also plugged in an MCD 'ADD-A-SWITCH' circuit board to RX channel 5 (GEAR) and set up the TRAVEL ADJUST of Channel 5 (GEAR) to 125%. I can now turn on the front headlight by flipping the GEAR switch on then off. This doesn't seem to interfere with the MIXES using the GEAR channel (unless you leave the GEAR switch on!)
I'm going to add a Pico switch to channel 6 (FLAPS) so I can power down the tank by flipping the FLAP switch from the transmitter.
Hope this helps someone to set up their DX6i

Hey Chris,
<div>I finally managed to get this thing done except the firing of the guns. In the picture below You can see Ch 3 (Thr RX), Ch 1 (Aile RX), Ch2 (Ele RX), and Ch4 (Rud RX). I cannot for the life of me get the main gun or machine gun to fire on the left stick. Remember this is configured like a HL (Lft = Turret/Elev; RT = Throttle/Steering). I'd like to configure the MIX switch for main gun and some other switch for machine guns.I cannot for the life of me get the main gun to fire off of any switches. I've left the machine gun on the left down stick but can't get this to work. Anything that I might have forgotten?
