Default Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build

Hi,

I can give you a comparison to the German Market. Here a MFU costs round about 350 EUR. It is easy to install but that's already the only advantage. It's absoluetly unflexible and definitely not usable for my projects. In my first Truck I had one, but it was replaced after 2 month.

My setup for my Trucks is the S22 ESC from Servonaut together with the USM-RC-2.

The advantages:
- Extremly comfortable ESC, nothing better on the market
- Ligjt and Sound with hundreds of options and possibilities. My US Trucks do have an Air pressure Starter sound. Can you do this with the MFU?
- I can install whatever kind of lights I want to have and I can define how they will behave.

If you are willing to invest a bit more time and work, you will get a dream of flexibility.

Beier also provides a Forum were you always get a super support.

The service and support from Beier and also Servonaut are premium, never had a better one (no, I'm not paid to write this ).

The costs:
ESC 99 EUR
USM-RC-2 145 EUR
Speaker 10 EUR
LEDs and cables ca. 20 EUR

275 EUR for my combination or 350 EUR for the MFU.

gismow I am saving for a Beier UFR 1230 ESC to go with my USM-RC-2 sound module and EXM-2. So I have even more options for lights! I just wiash Beier would get their hands on a FrSky Taranis Plus or Taranis QX-7 and give me the option for my three position switches rather than only two position switches from the german radios.
