I very happy I found your video. Thanks u for making this. I'm not good at English so I will need time to understand it. But I allready see how good u designed the whole video. Looks very nice and clear for me.

Best of luck, I am told that my accent isn't too hard to follow from non English speakers!

Fantastic tutorial, Lee! Thanks a bunch! 😃 March 28th I'm going to buy the rc truck I mentioned in a comment the other day. Then I'm going to need to get a new brushless esc for it (it's 2 in one with the receiver, unfortunately) and, then, I'm going to get the MT12 and 2 receivers. 😊 The car I already have has a brushed motor and I already have a 60A esc, which going to be overkill for it, but hey... I already have it. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Hi Lee, Great video and information about the Radiomaster MT12, actually I just purchased it. Thanks again for the video and looking forward to seeing more videos on the MT12 and your truck

Have to say you’re a mind reader. I saw this transmitter the other day and wondered how it all worked. I race rc cars, pan cars, touring cars and buggies. You’re spot on with the steering expo. Nearly everyone runs -35 for steering. Some people also run -10 on throttle just to keep the car smooth out the corners. To set the steering on a car without buying a setup station. Get some hard plastic or some setup wheels. Put car on plain paper. Measure the width of the setup wheels so for example 100mm from wheel to wheel. You’ll need a ruler for this part. Draw two lines 100mm apart and place the car so the wheels are aligned with the lines. Turn the wheel left, then mark the outer angle with a ruler. Do same for right hand side. Then measure the distances. Make the left and right the same. That will stabilise the steering. You can also measure your steering angle this way. You can do this in the end points save messing with steering turnbuckles. If after you’ve put a new receiver in and your steering isn’t straight. You can use the sub trim under steering to level out the wheels to true. You don’t have to mess with turnbuckles that way. Most people don’t run 100% steering rate with a wheel. So back it down to 90-95% that will take a lot of the slap out the steering when you let go of the wheel. If the radio has channel timing you can add or subtract 0.01s to the channel if the steering is way to snappy as well. Will make it feel smoother.

Stay tuned some cool tricks with steering rates coming in a video soon...

Can you point me in the right direction for adding speed or rpm telemetry from a vehicle to the MT12 (ELRS)?

I'm not sure. A gps sensor would be needed... best of luck

Hi Lee, Great video and information about the MT12. Well as you know, I purchased the MT12 4N1 version, but switch to the ELRS Version

Besides still looking for a way to move my pan servo *more* than 90 ° there's one more thing on my mind: brake/reverse light; so whenever throttle is less than -10 brake-light shall go on. How can I do this? I also get wrong voltage readings / warnings, once the voltage drops below warning treshold, even after changing the car's battery; this is quite annoying.

@@Painless360 No idea, how I could do that. But when mounting the camera to that car I just noticed, that I can not use much more than 90° anyway - it needs a protecting frame around the camera which blocks sight to the sides. LOL :-D

Matek do a PWM ELRS receiver (the vario one) that has a second UART to accept a GPS, which is cool for speed running or just having a live speedo (and telemetry luas!)
