no that is not correct. assuming you have <u>plugged in the receiver wires per the tamiya instructions</u> the sequence is as follows:
1. make sure your transmitter sticks and trims are neutral.
2.push the set button on the dmd unitl it flashes red/green.
3. Push the left stick all the way up then all the way down then return to neutral.
4. Push the left stick all the way right, then all the way left, then back to neutral.
5. repeat for the right stick always coming back to neutral.
5. push the set button on the dmd, it should green and your tank should start.

This is the basic setup. but be aware that you can change the pattern of the programming if you want, in case foward is backwards, etc. Of course you can allways reverse your transmitter switches and even change the plug arrangements, once you get it running the way you want.
