:headbang: The white rotary sound button is located to the right of the connectors just before the small slider, the same regardless of the type of MF

Hi Jofaur
Thanks for the information It will come in very handy when I get the Tx to bind with the RX haha. I currently have a MF-05 (I think) as it is covered by the TO-3. The 05 has a flashing green LED and the TO-3 Drive indicators are flashing both green both yellow and orange or alternating. The switch closest to the MF-05 is too the left.
Do you have any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks Carl.

:D Hello, first, pair the TX with the RX. Then locate the different functions of the sticks, then only then will you be able to adjust the T05 module, at the top left you have 3 buttons
set, Rudd, MG Gun
Radio on, press the "Set" button then manipulate (gently) the sticks according to the instructions on the manual. Then at the end you press "Set" again to validate and that's it. Then, for the cannon and the machine gun, there is a tip, but already do the first phase :thumbup:

Be careful, do it in the order indicated in the instructions, and connect the 4 servo outputs to the correct RX channel, which varies depending on the type and brand of the radio, hence the need to correctly identify the corresponding outputs.

Green LED flashing? It's the LED of the cannon flash

Hi Thanks again for you help 😱 really pulling my hair out now. I really can’t get my Carson reflex to pair with my tank. My T-03 is flashing alternating orange & yellow drive indicator. When pushing the set button they change to orange yellow red alternating. I then try the tx setup and then push the set button and the lights return to orange yellow but did not pair. Any ideas as I am really new to this hobby and can only find limited info on the web
Thanks

:) Hello, oh la, we're going to start from scratch? and in order..... 1st step, the radio, transmitter (TX) and receiver RX, you have to "Binder or pair" one with the other, which should already be done? Has it already worked? Your radio is standard, or programmable (there is a display screen in this case) and it is not the easiest for Tamiya!!! You have to be sure that the TX and the RX work together, hence as already explained connect servomotors on the first 4 channels (1/2/3/4) see which operates what? by manipulating the sticks, otherwise you will not be able to make it work, the rest if you do not know if the two devices already communicate. Attached photo of a servo motor, if you do not have one? it costs 3 times nothing. a photo of the radio and the wiring of the modules would be great :thumbup:
Once you're sure of this, the rest is pretty simple.

:D Forgot to say? It would be more coherent to move this topic to the "General Questions" post :thumbup: Thank you.
