Wow, very impressed with this video. I have the flysky fsi6 and just bought the mfc01 and 03. U have helped me A LOT. thanks a MILLION. This has made my day, GREAT video Loved it. Love the Tamiya and Hercules trucks. So fun to build

Hi Bob a fantastic and very comprehensive tutorial on the setting up and operation of the rig, transmitter and MFC-01 unit. I shall be returning to view again, when I’m nearer to my setting up of my own rig. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 😉😊😉

Many thanks for all of your videos. Having purchased a couple of trucks already built I was petrified at the thought of attempting a build myself. Your videos explain all the steps so well I am halfway through my own first build. Thanks form Malc UK

Thanks a million Bob! Great video. Had a few issues at first; however, once I took note that the Flysky receiver input mapping is different from the receiver input connections as shown in the Tamiya documentation, everything works as advertised. Really appreciate the time you take to make these videos.

Thanks for making this video for us. I just got my Grand Hauler kit and waiting for the MFC and radio to get here to really start the build. I am certain I am going to re-watch this a few more times while building it!!! Excellent description of it all and easy to follow along with... well so far at least! Thank you for taking the time to go through all of it in such detail. Do you make front speaker mounts yourself or do you purchase them? I did a little bit of quick googling and did not come up with much. Seems like something I could make fairly easily.

I have a problem and I'm hoping you can help me. I have a fsi6 and I'm trying to use all 10 channels on the controller. But I cannot find a website to download into the controller for that upgrade? Or if there is another way to use all 10 channels? I need it so I can operate a lowboy trailer. There's a lot of functions on this trailer. Can you tell me how I can do this?

[@garymurphy5133]

Bob ,Another mega vid for the collection.These vids have really helped me with my builds.Waiting like many others for the Beier unit how-to,these are a bit complicated. Can i ask a question regards the FS-i6? Have you thought about changing out the 2 rotary`s for 2 switches? Have seen a video on YT but not as clear and detailed as your vids. With this mod and the new software flash you get get many more channels

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I have not played with the channel mods yet. I do know one disadvantage of going to 10 channels is that 2 receivers will not bind if you want to do wireless trailer lights.

[@garymurphy5133]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC Good point Bob,never had any idea of that.

[@rcmate7818]

Is it possible to reduce the reverse speed? I tried to adjust up the low point on the throttle curve, but then my brakes wont work. I want to be able to reverse in about 50% speed when i have the stick all the way down, without losing the brake feature. Thanks.

[@rcjackiemack728]

Hi Bob I've tried plugging into channel 5 too have it on a switch but my transmitter doesn't do it like that. I've done it to what you have done. It just doesn't make sense

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

All I can say if you use this exact transmitter and program it like I do it works great.

[@NutjobGTO]

You know, thank you for saving me the money? Now I know it does nothing I need or want, and it overcomplicates the things I do want. Like what's going on with nerfing the throttle, just to oversell the three-speed transmission? Wiring it up following the directions, you'd have a completely gutted first gear.

[@stevenwelsh98]

Hi your vid has realy helped me along the way.. however I can’t seem to get the SWC switch to change my gears by using channel 5 in the receiver, can you help at all? Cheers

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Sure. email me - my email is in the video description.

[@rustykilt]

Quick question.. does the FS-i6 need to be modified for using with crawlers or trucks as a number of videos seem to indicate this transmitter is designed for aircraft. I have an RC CROSS bc8 MAMMOTH and use the FLYSKY GT-5 PISTOL GRIP CONTROLLER, but find this not very satisfactory for the various functions of the Crawler. Appreciate your advice.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

All it needs is the stick centering kit. Works great with crawlers etc.

Hey Bob. This video is great an has helped me alot, but i have one problem. When i give throttle my wheels are spinning backwards, but the speaker is making the forward sound and when i go in reverse the wheels go forward but the speaker is making the reverse sound. I have tried reversing the trottle on my fs-i6 but the sound is still wrong. Hope you can help me.

[@rcmate7818]

The truck is a globeliner with the original Tamiya 540 motor

Does the MFC-01 automatically start without pushing the right stick down like the MFC-03? I use the MFC-03 in my truck and it's always annoyed me that I have to actually use the stick to start the truck. If there was a way around this I would love to know.

Yes, you can easily install an MFC in a finished truck. Generally the pistol grip radios will not work with an MFC as they do not have dual rates on the channels required to run the MFC.
