I'm with your Jimmy. Trim tabs on the face of the radio let you see what is going on instantly. That saves many headaches and lost time to trouble shooting. Unless the user is very familiar with their radio it is too easy to get lost and overwhelmed. K.I.S.S. I hope this thread helps others.


Edmunds refer to page 22 at the second link from our buddy Bowlman for the radio set-up. Make sure that your radio joystick end point limits are set to 100% first. If they are not you will not reach full throttle (AKA W.O.T. / wide open throttle or 100% throttle). The more sophisticated the radio the more variables to complicate your set-up.

My offer still stands: If anyone want to borrow a free Futaba 4ch radio w/ receiver from me to set-up or test their tank just PM me. Just pay the postage. Bob.
