Tamiya Sherman

[fv432]

ok guys as you now i got my sherman running (finally)

now the sounds are brilliant but one thing i really hate is having all the controls on one stick

ive seen and am about to undertake the "remote fire button mod" to my tranny which is a skysport 4yf which im hoping will improve the driveability of the sherman but i just really hate the rest

so if any of you have got any tips and ideas about it please let me know as im going mental

I use these sub minature toggle switches
maplin part No. FH03D (ON)-OFF-(ON) Non-locking both ways, centre off

I wired them up so that the main gun fires when I push the switch and the MG fires when the switch is pulled towards you

Hi Rob,
Not wanting to upset the "Apple Cart". But don't you think that having all the driving controls on one stick actually makes for more accurate driving ?
I've got both systems H/L twin stick and Tamiya single stick and I prefer "Single stick" everytime. You may find that you get to grips with it after a bit of practise.
Having said that I'm probably a bit biased, I always fly model fixed wing and helicopters in a single stick way. When most people seem to fly them "Twin Stick".
I suppose it's a throwback from my PPL training. All fullsize planes are "Single Stick".

Let me know mate.

Hi Guys,
Strike my previous post from the record...God only knows what I was thinking of. Everything I said was completely wrong and upside down.
It had been a hot and long day and the three large glasses of Vinsobres had clearly had their effect.
Sorry Gents, I'll try to post something useful in future.

lmao nick no worries mate i kinda guessed what you were on about

alls good now Septon paul sorted the stick issue out with a quick phone call
and the sad realisation that i had infact done everything i shouldnt- followed the instructions

and the stupid fact that i had set up my 4 channel gear to 2 channel no wonder it was pants

Good to know you got it sorted Rob,
I was at some point going to say that Tamiya have a 4 channel connection page on their website.
Is this your first Tamiya ? What do you think of it mate ?
