    Thank you Bob, that’s an awesome video with great content. I’ve had the King Hauler with MFC-03for about a year using a Futaba 4YWD which was a real pain. Since upgrading to the Flysky it is so much easier and another video you posted showing how to bind multiple receivers makes it so easy for trailer lighting. Thank you again for you knowledge. Cheers Gerry

    I kind of like the way you can choose signal or not and varied startup sound. I could understand not wanting a jumper also if you were running a out of the box motor too. At moment I use 80 turn in mine. Great video Bob, i always learn something from you. I'm excited to build the new globeliner to by the way! By the way you'll have to show everybody Winston since hes grown up lol.

    Hey bob, awesome vid! Was able to mostly get my mfc03 working. But I’m running fast-i6S remote. And can’t figure out what I’m missing to get the swA switch to function like how you have the i6 and i6x set up. Edit, I figured it out, my fault. When setting up the dual rate, I could figure out how to assign swA at first. Little different menu on the i6s. But it works now. Love all your videos though. Big fan of yours

    Good morning Bob When connecting the trailer to the truck I have a force problem especially in the reverse I already made all the adjustments but I see that it continues with the same problem it walks little and stops just like the reverse that it can be. On the bridge in j12 you can solve that problem for me so that the truck can walk and go back better.

    Use a NIMH battery. You can use a 2 cell lipo if you want but use a separate low voltage alarm if you do as the MFC does not have a low voltage cutoff. The NIMH works with no issues and is heavier which is actually better for a truck.

    If you use a brushless esc with an MFC you have to use a Y cable for the esc. Plug the EXC into one end and J4 to the other.

    You need to set "conditions" in the menu. Word they use for dual rates. You can verify you have it set in the monitor - should go from 75% to 100% on channel 2&4. Use switch A for conditions.

    if you flick the right arrow down and not go all the way over left or right it will flash the turn signals till you flick it down or fully turn that way to cancel them. For the MFC-03 if you hold the right stick just down and turn on the MFC it will have a person walk up to the truck and get in noise and when you shut it down it will have fun leave the truck and walk away... super cool addons no one knows about.

    Yes, radios send out a signal on one wire and + - voltage on the others. The MFC uses tricky internal programming to decode the signals to give more functions.

    @@HobbyconceptsLLC Yeh the MFC seems pretty "complete" in terms of functions. More interesting (for me atleast) are the signal that the receiver sends out. It hooks directly to that MFC and then it all just works, after programming the remote (transmitter). Is it PPM or S-BUS that the receiver sends to the MFC? Btw, great content, I've been glued to the channel for the past 2 days, probably watched 20% of all the content by now.

And would it be enough channels on this radio to use it on a mfc and also a tipper trailer? I dont know how many channels a tipper trailer requires. Thinking about the carson stone master etc.
