Sorry I am late to the party Super...

Just come by my garage one of these days and we can discuss all things Sherman.

At the end of the month we will be running at Falcon Field so come on by!

Did you do the initial Tamiya Tx setup protocol as per the manual? It's usually not necessary when using the Attack Txs, but maybe a throw is off somewhere.

Don't worry, I know it's confusing and can be frustrating, but that's due to the ridiculous amount of control you have with a programmable Tx. When you figure it all out, there's an amazing wealth of things you can do with it, but start simple, reset to zero, make sure all switches are neutral and go from there.

I have two DX6is and can switch between a tank, RC camera dolly, animated zombie head, triple screw steering on a Vospers MTB and a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Flying Sub, each of them with completely different needs of expo, mixing and adjustments.

The immediate reaction is to blame the Tx, I've heard it over and over again. One battle I was in with my T-34, the tank was performing like a slug from the start. My teammate got in my head telling me it was the Tx, which got me to start going through the menu looking to issues and sticking back during an assault. What it ended up being was my son battled the tank right before and never turned it off, so I was fighting with his accrued damage. Not the Tx, just a simple issue that I was blind to because I believed the hype.
ausf...I can't blame the electronics because my other stuff works, Planes and such!...I know now, after what you have told me so far I have missed something. So what I will do tonight after work is to start fresh like you suggest...Thanks for hanging in there with me on this...

edoubleaz...I've been trying to get hooked up you guys for a long time...As is always the case, work seems to be consuming what little "Free time" I have.
You are about 30-40 minutes away from me, I live around 51st ave and Camelback!...Weekends for me are gone until after the 28th of this month. And I would love to make that gathering at Falcon Field. I will have to see what I can do...

The field is at 19th Ave and Greenway. You are closer to it than me! I live in the 'tukee. Several of us meet at the IPMS meetings the first tuesday of every month at the American Legion Hall 7th ave and Van Buren!
