SEPARATELY REQUIRED ITEMS
- 4-channel self-neutral stick-type transmitter equipped with slide trim and self-neutral feature for
optimum performance. (Futaba Attack 4WD recommended)
Tamiya recommends the Futaba Attack 4WD (T4VWD/FP-R114H) because it has a self-
neutral feature. Other 4-channel transmitters made by Futaba, JR Propo, and Acoms
can be used with the MFC-02, but operations may not be as smooth as they may lack
the self-neutral feature and connectors may not be compatible. As for transmitters
from other makers, while it may be possible to use them, please note that there may
be instances where they may not be able to operate all of the MFC-02's functions.
- 4-channel receiver.
- 2 servos.
SPECIAL NOTES
- Do not use together with ITEM# 53909 TLU-01 or ITEM# 53937 TLU-02.
- MFC-02 is compatible with the Type 540 motor only. Please avoid installing other motors.
- MFC-02 cannot be operated with 2-channel or 3-channel transmitters/receivers.
- MFC-02 is not compatible with PCM type receivers, multi-channel receivers, and older
receivers made by Sanwa (identifiable by their black cases).
- Not Compatible with 2.4ghz systems or others that have digital trim
