Truck in question : Knight Hauler.

I bought the Futaba T4YF which comes with four servo and a battery.

I also bought a speed controller (MFU comes into the next one) TEU-101BK

The Radio came with the receiver R136F (6 channel)

According to the manual of the speed controler it has to be plugged into channel two of the receiver.
Do I just plugin the other two servos into channel 1+3 ?

Also, the manual from the TEU-101BK mentions a calibration but it assumes I am using those 2 channel radios used for little cars etc where I have to press neutral etc. to calibrate it.

Another thing: Motor has a yellow and a green cable, the Speed controller Orange and Blue (oh yea I like standards lol). Do I just connect "bright" with "bright" and "dark" with "dark" :P ?

I know I could try it but I want to avoid taking that thing apart again because it drives backwards :P

Radio is a Mode 2 btw. (UK)

For for such n00bish questions, but I assume everybody started at some point haha ...

You just have too try the servos in the other channels before you put the body on.
Try the wires on the motor as well, to make sure you got it right.

Trottle shod be on left stick -up and down
Steering would be on the right stik- right and left
the gear shod be on the left stik- left/1st, senter/2nd and right/3rd.

Hope you find this out, and good luck with your new Hauler!

Gomjaba,
I think waht you need to do is read the manual for the radio and follow the guides in it for channel assignments. I have the T6yg and it has the same receiver. If I remember I connected steering to ch 1 throttle to ch 2 and shift to ch 4. ch 3 is not used unless you have the MFU. Let me know if this helps.

Right, thanks ... I did read the manual, but maybe overloocked something ..
