Don't forget to uninstall old program first.

Also after the firmware update it erase your IBU3 settings so you need to redo radio to IBU3 config before using again.

Jack,
I want your promise that you will at no time in the future become computer literate because it is lonely enough with just the two of us.
I don't think my ego could take solitude.

Now the tank won't sync up to even log into the thing, whats wrong? I've had it plugged in for 10min and nothing....YES its turned on.

See THIS is why I HATE this stupid computer bull crap! This hobby is SUPPOSED to be R/C tanks NOT computer programming! Why the hell can't it just plug in and work, whats with this damn synchronizing crap?

If ANYONE can come up with a board that I can plug into my tank that can then either just run it or can be programed by a moron dumb ass like me I have $4000 worth of credit left on my credit cards not to mention whatever I can get for a slightly used IBU3 to buy your new board!

Christ I HATE this!

I have one RX18, 100% plug and play. You can send me the 4.000 bucks and your IBU 3, I send you the details in a PM.


Nah, just kidding. Relax, it cant be too hard... Maybe you could ask for someone`s help there... Even somebody with no RC tanks knowledge may be able to help you.
