mfu with a brushless?

[YoungGunz]

Just wanted to know if anyone has run a brushless with the multi function unit.... since the mfu is a brushed esc, i would think that i wouldnt be able to use it. but is there a way that i can run it parrallel to the brushless esc so i can still get engine revs and what not? Could i use it for just the sound and lights? I figured i better ask before i buy a mfu and find out it wont work. Thanks in advance!

I dont know about the Tamiya MFU, but I have seen inline sound units that will work with brushles set ups.

Let me search the site again and see if i can find it.

I don't see why you couldn't use a brushless motor. Of course you'd have to have a separate brushless ESC, but there is nothing to stop you from using a y-harness and running the MFU and the new ESC in parallel, off the same throttle channel.

Yup I run a Y-harness to an MFU so it has the throttle position and nothing else. I think you'd be better off using a Servonaut sound module unless you already have the MFU.

I'm wondering what kind of brushless unit are you using?

I thought that might be a possibility but i couldnt remember so thanks for the info!

I dont have the MFU so Servonat would be a possibility but what will be the cost different and does PMD sell them or will i have to order directly? And could you point me in the direction of what items to get? It would be much appreciated

Its a Novak Goat 3s and i think its the 17.5 turn, with the matching esc. Ive been very happy with it so far but i should have gotten the 21.5 turn since it is a little fast but i think with the 4:1 it will help alot, I'll be picking that up soon so i can tell you how they work together.


Thanks for the info guys!
