Default MFC -01

don't know what i'm doing wrong... i have everything hooked up and the shifting servo and the steering servo is not working... on the left stick i have three gears and it seems like i have three speeds.. on the right stick if i move the stick up and down i have the horn blow like it's supposed to.. moving the stick to the right and left i have right and left turn signals.. but no steering. looking at the servos they don;t move when i move the right or left sticks..i could really use any help..thanks G

I would make sure that your servo to the mfc board are plugged in correct way.

might have to recalibrate full stick throws in the mfc.

Hi...

Please plug the servos directly into the receiver and test them here.

Another test. If you plugged in the complete setup, please move the servo arms a bit manually before you switch on the truck. If you switch on the truck, they should be initialized and must move back to their initial position. If the don't do that, check the cables from the receiver to the MFC. Is there any damage on the cables ? Please recheck if the cables are plugged in the correct direction.

Maybe you can post a photo of the MFC and the receiver for further analysis ?

Strange...

But the most important fact is that it's working now
