Hi all,

Would anyone have any idea on what the connections labelled CN1, CN2 and CN3 are for?? Could I use these outputs for anything?

Thanks

Phill

Thanks Pete. I made a mistake on one of the connections. CN5 not CN3. CN3 is the gun.

CN5 is undocumented by Tamiya but it gives out 6v (I think). I use it as a power source for things like extra lights.

Cheers

Thats handy to know Chris. I should be able to use it for a graupner 6v smoker then.
Now to work out how to control the lights with either channel 5 or 6.

Cheers,
Rik

Hi Rik

CN5 is not controllable by the Tamiya MFU (at least no-one has found out how to do it and Tamiya is keeping Shtum!). So you'll need an RC switch attached to your receiver to activate whatever you connect to CN5.

Cheers
