So I am looking to replace the stock Taigen transmitter, I've narrowed it down to either a Flysky I6s or I6X. Does anyone have any experience with either transmitter. Which would be the best replacement for the stock one. I'm ideally after a plug and play one. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, there is no way to replace just the tx. You will need another mfu. The stock one will not work with skyfly.

Hi, If your Taigen Tiger 1 has a Taigen Version 2 or 3 MFU you can use an aftermarket transmitter and receiver but if the motherboard in your Tank is different then as Renoir said you will need a new MFU.

If the Taigen receiver/MFU in the tank was supplied with a bag of small leads that allow you to connect the MFU to a hobby grade receiver then you can do it. I have both i6 and i6x (6/10 channel) systems and they are excellent, providing very configurable radios for very low cost. They can be purchased with or without a wide range of SkyFly receivers. If you buy the X and want 10 channels be sure to get a 10 channel receiver.

If your Taigen MFU is too old, have a chat with Dave at Forgebear who stocks upgrades.

Is there much sense in adding 6 or 10 channels to the stock MFU? it doesn't do much. You can use spare channels for lights but there aren't many on Tiger 1. The front and the column light at most. What else can you do?

Don’t forget that the V3 Taigen mfu when run from an alternative Tx you lose the machine gun sound.

I've got the V3 electeonics, that would be a shame to lose the MG sounds. If there is no option for a simple swap than I guess I shall wait for a while until I have more experience.

Convoy lights, interior lights, searchlight, moving tank commander, moving hatches, extra sounds....

I am using 16 channels in one tank. And 20 in another! Limit is your imagination.

I think I've seen one of those on YouTube. Extreme. Impressive. Surely for someone who isn't a novice.
But if one can't do any of this? There isn't much technical stuff that a stock mfu can do.

The stock mfu uses 6 channels if you use your own radio system. That leaves you the rest to control other things, so would have another 4 with a i6x. Electronic switches, servos etc.
