Beier is MILES above the 25 year old MFCs!!! It took me quite a while to finally wrap my head around this... but now that you started doing the "Master" series, it's almost easy! PLUS, your earlier video about FlySky S-Bus, SAVED MY BUTT!!!! I no longer feel like I wasted my money on the USM-RC-2s I bought from you two years ago. S-Bus will fix the limitations I had! (But I'm still glad I bought the 4 USM-RC-3s from you last year!)

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Thanks! Once you get the system figured out in your head it is pretty easy!

[@aeroguy86]

Finally! The class I’ve been waiting for! I was like I’m going to check KZbin real quick! Thanks bob for all you do. A true maverick in the 1/14 scale community

Now we're getting into the fun parts. If you could, a couple functions I'd like you to touch on. Is there a way to set up a "Marker lights" function, that will turn on the visor lights and corner lights at 30%, but also turn on brake lights and turn signals at 30? Then, when the turn signal channel needs to blink, have it cycle between 30 and 100 (or 70, or whatever) But if the Marker Light function is _off_ and the lights are at 0, the turn signals flash between 0 and 100? The other one is, the Beier manuals mention that channels 13 to 16 are reserved for flashing light functions. Either chasing lights, wagging lights, or a function where they strobe in and out at different speeds to look like unsynchronized hazard strobes on an oversized load. If you could play with them a bit, it'd open a few more possibilities.

[@MrBlirre]

Using side markers with turnsignal, yes can be done with a new function in the latest softwear update, same with dynamic indicators, but only 3 ligths per side.

[@jeffhaselwood1962]

Question, is it possible to use the lights already installed on my trucks currently working with mfc01?

[@DaleLadDaz]

Do you have a video or series about working out resistor values and soldering them to the led leads in preparation for installing with a beier?

[@rc_farmer4866]

I learned the hard way about power. The Sfr is still drawing power, even with the switch off. I shorted two output ports on my 1st Sfr....lesson learned.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Oh man, yes. The switch on the SFR-1 does not shut it down completely - still draws power so you need to disconnect the battery when it is sitting or when working on it.

[@MrBlirre]

I am a big fan of the light switch function, it works more like the mfc that you turn on parkinglights, then headligts, the fog and so on with one prop, and then off with another prop. Saves on prop channels that could be used for other functions.

[@mikehart4083]

Thanks for another very informative video Bob. Being new to SFR-1. One niggle you didn't mention reversing lights.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

They are automatic. You just add lights to an output and select reversing lights for that output. Then when you go in reverse the lights automatically go on.

HI Bob 💚, thank you for the great video, I have a question please What's light intensity to set to use LED lights without resistor?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You MUST use resistors with the led's.

[@crazydutchbloke]

So would it be possible to change output voltage to a set voltage? Or lower voltage with the intensity setting. I kinda have to go from 7.2 volt to 2.2 volt to run my squarer marker leds.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can't step down the voltage through the SFR. Just use a separate voltage regulator like this: www.ebay.com/itm/162857904782?hash=item25eb166a8e:g:ZNkAAOSwczlbNyBn&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8Azxo11p2TUw9XOdH5R61l1QnQZ2DVeCQoU1GMCT91%2BHaO54jkaJoTRDF4JqezLvEhE3payTQ9loIhjuoKf0KqNumXqEq5wqkT8%2BCVlTcjmMGIsWCwGrJCrraqWniao3KJz8nZ1i0YfH%2BXD9FORuuGDKyKBuXlbvz7cZAhlSSEYDOpkUuNlD4FLOczrx3Oxpxvo%2BHlmjIKNGAaCbrIR3D0QF0Dln%2FpT46neRaMSSsZSuC3pvduESynGRrzM6LrGOT15EIwbgMEMG%2B80rB4Bwsz15ZsN9Zl69aLWkM0KLrWf6%2BXLZqxd60favahfUEYjpjw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_6X75OdYg

[@paulnewcombe2119]

have you removed the two servo outputs for steering and throttle ?

[@KnapfordMaster98]

Can this also be used with traditional incandescent filament lights? I'm building a tugboat and the aeronaut search lamps I'm using came with custom filament bulbs. Maybe a silly question, but I can't see it mentioned either way anywhere.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, no problem. Jus remember it uses pass through battery voltage so if you have 6volt bulbs you must use a 6 volt battery or provide some kind of voltage regulation.

[@KnapfordMaster98]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC Thanks Bob, this videos are extremely helpful!

[@thescaniaman1]

hi bob i have the flysky fi6x i am on the understsnding thet you can use it for more than one truck ie use the same transmitter for multi trucks by going through the settings am i correct

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, has a multi model memory. Just go to the menu and set up a 2nd model. It remembers the setting for each model.

[@patrickkropman4968]

Can you show how to get a light bar and side markers on the tow truck to work together with the sfr1

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Will be doing that in the future!

[@Rturn2609]

How many leds can be run on this system on one “channel” is it even possible?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Oh, lots. 1.5 amps per output with 3.0 amps total. That is several hundred led's.

[@lakshmanreddy1729]

Hello sir i am from India please tell me easy way to make signallights and soundsystem

[@cb_rc]

Rear fog light is actually a rearfog light is a european thing 😅

[@flipbreukers6728]

That’s correct. By law in most European countries every vehicle has to run a rear fog light when visibility in fog is less than 50 meters. It’s a light which has more than twice the intensity a regular tail light has. It’s purpose is to prevent head-tail collisions in heavy fog.
