Re: DX7 throttle set up
My question would be is he double pumping the brake/reverse. If he's only pulling down once it's only going to brake, it needs to go back to neutral then back down for reverse.

Also if you don't have a charger that will do 200w or more then it's not worth it.

If you look up the part number for the optocoupler you ordered you'll be able to find a data sheet which will give you a schematic and pin layout.

Blue tooth truck and trailer lighting from OB1

Re: Blue tooth truck and trailer lighting from OB1
No it doesn't actually operate the legs. What it does with the built into programming is turns the clearance lights off and sets the 4ways when the landing gear is put into the down position.

Re: Road train lighting
You can get a stand alone OB1 that doesn't use the MFC to control it. It just gets wired between your RX and servo's. So with a couple of y-harnesses you should be able to hook everything up.

Re: morepower valve body
The rx doesn't drop the voltage down usually. For the most part it's the ESC that drops the voltage down from the 12v to 4.8v to 6v depending on how it's setup internally or programmed.

I use a AQV201 for my builds when I need one.
Another option if you don't mind paying a little more is looking at something like the OB1 system for the MFC. It plugs into where the trailer lights...

Re: Road train lighting
Each output of the opto coupler has the 50mA max. So the safest would be to splice it into the first trailer then run things back to the second trailer and dolly. Also you don't really need a 7.2v...

Re: Road train lighting
Just keep in mind that it only has 50mA max output per channel. So a couple of LED's and you are at the max.

You would need one opto coupler for each function. So in total you'd need 3.

Re: Trailer parts
Reg has a good point there too. Actually seeing you are in Ontario you can pick up a pole trailer from the zoom room in Newmarket for $230cdn. Keep what you need and sell off what you don't.
