Have a few questions needing help please for my MT. Just picked up this beast not too long ago. The engine is almost broken in and ready for some serious fun. Here are my questions concerning the stock electronics and such.


1. The stock RX shows 3 channels but looks like the TX really only has 2. I know I can use the 3rd. open channel on the RX for the kill switch but nothing else. So my question is the stock TX only a 2 channel radio?


2. Is there a way to adjust the endpoints on the stock steering servos with the stock TX or will I need a new radio setup in order to do so?


3. Lastly.....I was told if I switch the RX pack over to a lipo setup, it would burn up the stock wiring. Is this true? Can all the stock electronics handle a lipo setup?....actually one more quick question, I been wondering why is the MT referred as the "MT5" in this forum or is it something totally different and not related to the MT??


Thanks in advance......
 
You are correct, the stock transmitter is only 2 channels. But if you plug the kill switch into the 3rd channel on the receiver you can then kill the engine by turning off your transmitter.*

As far as I know there is no way of setting endpoints with the stock transmitter.*

Thanks for the info.
 
1. Stock TX is a 2ch

2. Endpoints can be adjusted to a degree with the dual rate knob.

3. Running a 2s lipo will not burn up wiring. The receiver can handle it but the servos can't. You will have to upgrade the servos to run a higher voltage.

Last there have been a couple of changes to the MT V3, thus the MT5. Redcat still calls it V3.
