Hello all

Just a question, i am using an OB1 V3.1m light unit with a hobby wing esc and cross rc sound unit,

Too be honest probably not as good as an MFC unit, but still pretty good and works out cheaper, anyway back to my question.

When i purchase a trailer which should not be loon , how would i connect the electric legs of the trailer to my truck ?

Bear in mind i don't have a MFC

By then i would be using an 8 channel receiver

Regards

motorised support legs work with or without MFU.

The legs have their own power supply on the trailer with a switch mechanism. The servo on the truck which works the coupler (5th wheel) latch also activates the trailer legs switch when the truck and trailer are connected. So there is no wiring between truck and trailer for the legs, its done with a mechanical mechanism using the coupler servo.
