Default Re: Tamiya mechanical legs - using with radio

Thank you and thank you for the welcome, I think ill just take it slow and follow the instructions, not sure they will help though as the forums seem to believe Tamiya need to have a re-think and re-write.
I had intentions of getting the MFU but decided that'll wait for the next rig, I'm also in agreement that its incredibly old and with it not working with the new radio systems is a pain, things seem to progress at different times, radios have gone forward now its time for Tamiya electrics to catch up.

One more random question, as I said I have the choice of two radios, 4 & 6 ch, I've decided the 4 will do for the first attempt, I'm going to use my ATTACK 4vwd, question - can I buy a battery pack and charger for this ? Or do I need to keep chucking throw always into it ? If so, what and from where ?

Many thanks
Mike

Hey Mike, welcome to the forum family

in regards to your question about batteries for the radio, I use energizer rechargeable NIMH batteries in all my radios. I get great life out of them.
I went through 4 truck battery cycles before I needed to recharge the radio batteries at the show in Indy last summer.

the thing is real simple and compact. Here is a pic of it next to a coffee table coaster......







Also charges AAA which is what I run in my forklift....




A 4 pack of AA costs 14 bucks here in Canada. The charger which comes with 4 AA cost 30 bucks to get started. I paid a little at first, but now, I pay no more

Mario
