Doesnt seem to be any place for a standard servo to take a signal from.

Appreciate the guidance.
In your receiver. There no servo outputs.

But if using normal self centering sticks, it will self center.
I dont have a receiver yet Mr Rad.
Im locked in to a servo for elevation as I cant remove it, just need to make it work !

If you get a receiver with enough channels Herman you can use one of the spare channels to plug the servo into but as Rad mentioned if you have self centering sticks on the radio the servo will return to it neutral position once you let go of the stick, on the other hand if you have a programmable radio you could assign that channel to a switch which would then keep the servo in the up or down position to whichever way the switch is moved and some snazzy radios can even adjust the speed and throw of the servo moment, it will still not be fully proportional though as with other tank boards but at least it'll work :thumbup:

The EXT 1 port is for the other half of the tamiya MFU.

'bout self centering, you can always asign a potentiometer for the servo,
Or get a "sirvoe" from RC tanks Australia.
