RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Good afternoon,

I have three Tamiya tanks, a King Tiger, Leopard 2 A6 and a JS-2. The leopard and the JS-2 are still in their boxes and the Tiger is undergoing a full restoration at the moment.

I am looking to purchase a Spektrum DX6i transmitter so I can have all three tanks on the same tx.
My question is, what receivers do you recommend for the Dx6i and these tanks? And what is the best way to set up the DX6i for use with these models.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Keith

I would use the orange r610 it's cheap and works great.

Yup, I use r610's with no issues

I bought three of these Spektrum AR6115E Microlite Park Flyer from King Lynn model shop http://www.kingslynnmodelshop.co.uk/Rad ... _info.html

He was dong a deal work out at £21.21 each posted, works well with my DX6i

Thanks for the replies Gents,
How do you have your tx's set up for use with the tamiya models?
I understand it can be done but takes some extra programming of the DX6i and different wiring of the receiver, DMD and MFU.
Any help on this would be greatly received as I am completely new to this and I want to try and understand it before the tank is ready for the install of the system.

Thanks very much,

Keith.

sorry buddy, mine are all in clark boards.
i bought my orange receivers though from hobby king.
i think they were about £8 each.
although the pound is doing well at the mo so they might work out cheaper

No Problem Lister,

I was hoping that some one on here could help as the DX6i does seem to be a popular choice for tank modellers. I have found an article elsewhere about setting up the TX but the screen shots are missing so some of the text is not so clear, especially on the channel mixing.

Complete Guide to setting up the Spektrum DX6i

I wanted to get this part straight in my head before I committed to buy the DX6i then regretted it later when I couldn't get all the functions to work correctly.

Best Regards

Blimp,
