I've been meaning to post this for ages but bowlman's question has prompted me to dig out the pics and put it up. I don't know whether the DX5e is any different to the DX6i but I'm guessing it will be similar enough. Hope this tip comes in handy for those with Spektrum radios.
Cheers
Chris

As Alexandr the meerkat says, "Simples!". At least you make it look that way Chris.

As far as I know Futaba Skysport TX's are OK. Here's the link to FRAGARMOR showing how to convert a Futaba.BREL wrote: can this be done with any 4 channel rc transmitter

Hi Pete. The buttons are just cheap push-to-make types. Here's a link to Maplins :-971wright wrote: Hi Chris Nice mod will consider it have a Dx6I and a Dx5e ,where did you get the switches from and does it still fire from the sticks as well .

The sticks operate as normal.

Re: Fire Buttons on DX6i
Yes Chris...they are. I also did this to my radio 5 channel Spektrum Radio and they worked superbly. The only problem is...if I press both (Main Gun and Machine Gun) button at the same time, they will not work. They can only be made to work one at a time. My tank is finished and I'm back home after a long two weeks of non-stop working. I'll post a video of my tank soon.grompix wrote: I don't know whether the DX5e is any different to the DX6i but I'm guessing it will be similar enough.
Cheers Chris and another superb article you've made. Seriously, the web admin should make this a 'sticky' article.
