View Full Version : MFU options

After getting most of my F350 built and installing the MFU just to get it running, I keep wondering...
1. Why is the manual so crappy for the MFU? Their other manuals are really nice, but this one... Maybe because of the multi-language mixed in instead of separate sections is part of it.
2. What are the other options they speak of? I'm really curious what they are. Just lights, or something more interesting? I'm guessing they aren't servo operated since they are only 2 pins. I think a lift bed would be a nice addition.
3. The input jack for an mp3 player says not for use during running. Why not? Does it disable when the motor starts? I'd thought of puttting a small mp3 in the bed under the light bar.

Any ideas?

MP3 ? As in music MP3 ?

Is this bruiser MFU specific ?

That is a feature unique to the MFC-02 meant for the Tamiya High-Lift trucks.

The Bruiser is older than the MFUs, albeit MFC-01 and MFC-02 sure can be modified for use with it.

MFC-01 is used with the 3 speed Big Rigs

back in the day Bruisers din't have a MFU - just the optional light kit

i am in agreement with the lacking manual on my mfc 2 unit, but I am learning on my own, as many others....

my only grief is they need a thorough trouble shooting guide to help out with the learning process, other than that - I am more than happy with the investment of the close to 500 CDN bucks
