Help with ibu2 gearboxes not working

Post by Sam84 »

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has an FS-I6 controller and a ibu2 MFU with an FS-IA6B receiver, I have turret rotation, barrel elevation, machine gun cannon fire sounds. What I don't have is engine sounds, and gear box movement.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what to do please?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've read thru instructions and can not quite get my head around some of the instructions.

Been looking on the net for information, and still looking.

Many thanks

This is the help section for when you are receiving problems with the forum, NOT your tank.

I'm moving this to Electronics / Extras - IBU2 / IBU3.

Hi Sam,

All the functions that you currently have working are normal, to get the engine/motors started you need to initiate them by moving one of the radio sticks in a diagonal direction ( to one of the corners ) for 5 seconds until you hear the engine start up sound, it can depend in which position you hold it on how you have your receiver leads plugged in. Hopefully this is how it works with your fs-i6, all my ibu2 boards are used with a spektrum radio and this is how it works with that :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.
