Hmmm...I posted a reply yesterday to say that I've already solved the problem. What happened to it? Seems that it just disappeared. Anything wrong with the forum? Hackers???[&:]
Anyway, as mentioned yesterday in my post that disappeared, I pointed out that the problem was caused mainly by the Tx confusion and some mistakes in the elmod manual.
Tx Confusion
In the elmod manual it gives the following connection to the receiver:
• Connect the four cables of the multi-connector cable P2 in the following
way:
cable black/brown: channel 1, acceleration (right stick, vertical)
cable red: channel 2, steering (right stick, horizontal)
cable yellow: channel 3, canon lift (left stick, vertical)
cable orange: channel 4, turret rotation (left stick, horizontal)
So I obediently followed the instructions - black/brown to channel 1, red to channel 2...etc, that is a big mistake. I forgot that on my TX, channel 1 is NOT right stick vertical, but right stick horizonal. Also, my channel 2 is NOT right stick horizontal, but left stick vertical...
After 4 frustrating days [:@] I finally decided to do it MY way. Black/brown to rightstick vertical? OK, let me check what channel is right stick vertical on my TX, and then connect accordingly on the receiver...the same goes with the rest of the cables
Finally, after connecting everything, time to try again...sigh. Now according to Elmod's FAQ section, here's how you are supposed to ignite the engine:
Question: The tank keeps not moving after installation of the Blaster. The turret works fine!
Answer: If a Blaster is installed, the engine has to be "ignited". Move the left stick to the uper left corner for HL-electronics (down-left for proportional) to turn the engine on and off.
So...I pushed the left stick to the lower left position...AND NOTHING. Not even a puff. Well, what's new, right? So, out of instinct, I just pushed the left stick to Upper Left...AND SUDDENLY, the tank roars into life!!!! [X(] It turns out that for my Tx, I need to push left stick upper left to ignite engine and lower left to switch on/off the light. Very strange...I'am not using HL electronics, and yet...
Anyway, here's the first video of my Panzer III running...

It's not running outdoor yet becasue I'm not done on the Panzer III. Still got to think of a way to squeeze the Blaster's boombox into the tank. I'm using the stock speaker at the moment, and it sounds horrible compared to the blaster boombox. The interior is SO CRAMP that I don't think I can add on the CSI module...
