North America can include Canada and Mexico so there are more than one major vendor over here.

I ordered a Benedini Mini clone, about £30, and it arrived without problems. They come without any sounds installed, but luckily I have a USB lead that I was using on my DasMikro Micro clone. I have access to a Benedini soundset, so I loaded a Tiger soundset (572kb), set the parameters to 'Gas' and 'Autostart', plugged it into an RC Crawler that was sitting here...and it works perfectly.

Need to make it louder, but for the money, it's good. :thumbup:

I joined this forum solely because of this thread, so thanks to the OP! I am not an RC Tank builder, but I have been building RC scale ships and model conversions for a few years and have been looking for something like this module to enhance them.
This seems to be the only decipherable information for this board on the entire WWW. With this thread I have been able to order the board, order a programmer and install the programming software onto old netbook I had. I’m primarily a IOS guy, so going back to PC is challenging. I think I have everything?

Is it possible to work on the programming software without a board connected? Only asking as I’m waiting for stuff and wanted to get more familiar.

Anyways, I will be following intently as I have a lot to learn.
Thanks MM

Hi mate, welcome. I glad you liked the thread. In fact I am currently rewritting everything regarding the benedini products. I am splitting the info in three entries in my blog:
Review of the Benedini Mini
https://radindustries.wordpress.com/201 ... s-mini-v2/
Review of the Benedini micro:
https://radindustries.wordpress.com/201 ... -dasmikro/

And finally a step by step tutorial that I am currently writting, and I will publish in 2-3 weeks.

And yes, you can work with the software with no boards connected. Remember for the mini you need one software, and for the micro the other.

Yeah, I managed to get the the software from banggood after much searching and reading about the whole counterfeiting thing. I have TBS-flash V1.0.1.4 correct?

Thanks! I have read just about everything I can, still processing. I look forward to reading future instalments of any kind. MM

I'll second that, this thread its why I joined the forum too.
Looking forward to the full blown tutorial....

Mean while I've ordered a Dasmikro micro and this USB adaptor: https://www.banggood.com/2Pcs-FT232RL-F ... rehouse=CN

Which driver do I need for the usb adaptor please? (win 10)

Would anybody be able to confirm for me that this is the correct driver for Win7. I can’t get this to connect. It all looks right, keep getting the “module did not answer”. I have COM4 selected, there was not an option to select a COM prior to the driver install so it seems that the Flash is recognizing it.
I’m stumped. I am running power through the ESC and the micro’s led is illuminated.
Thanks MM
