Older model builder. Love the Tamiya R/C tank kits. No battles, just play and display.

Have had a tough time with getting R/C correct for the M4 Sherman and before that the Tiger 1. Can make them move but can't get the correct R/C toggles? Any thoughts? Is it because I am using a Futaba 4 channel?

Hello, welcome to this Forum. For the radio problem, is it a Tamiya electronic? there are no problems with a 4-way radio, just that you must respect the calibration of the T-0 Module..with the TX according to the Tam instructions.
PS : For other questions, please post in "General Questions" or "Electronics" please

It looks as if you are refering to Tamiya tanks, probably in 1/16. The more specific information you can provide, the greater the chances that one of the experienced Tamiya tankers here on RCTW can help.

Oh, and I do admit, I love the inevitable ambiguity of perfectly well-constructed English: "Older model builder" could be one who builds older models (me), or one who is older (me), or and older one who builds older models (me, me). (O.K. I will start behaving soon.)

Jofaur86's solution is all you need if you are using the Futaba/Tamiya 4 channel radios. I personally don't like the Tamiya default steering on one stick and throttle on the other as it makes IR battling more difficult than it should be. So it's a simple case of switching the channels on the receiver. Also with almost every Tamiya and (I have built 9 of them) at least one channel will need reversing on the radio and that was simple even for me as a total RC newb on my first Tamiya. Where it becomes complicated with Tamiyas is when you try as a newb to use a modern reasonably priced Tx for instance like an FlySky fs-i6 with digital trims that isn't an obsolete expensive 4 channel Futaba/Tamiya:D

Hello, Hello, indeed, the Tamiya system can be quite confusing? Attached is a very old link, but which summarizes well what needs to be done.

Hello,

Hello, I wonder? know if it is useful to answer? questions about concerns? since five days already? and no return??

apparently you don't even realize that someone is taking you for fools.

If someone asks a question in the introduction round without introducing themselves, I wouldn't think of answering it.

Hello, oh yes I realize!! but always said, that my goodness will ruin me? must be my “Boy Scout” side
Many, register only to have an opinion following problems, having no knowledge, level of operation, use any type of battery, no serious tools, and take the Forum, for after-sales service, hoping to have (for example miracle) the solution, then no news, I can hardly believe that I didn't find 5 minutes after a week? to get feedback. It's a lack of politeness and good manners.
