MFU spaghetti

LOL - couldn't wait until I finish the body and I HAD to test it :LOL:

Can you believe it - it actually worked (including motorized support legs and trailer light kit) :omg:

Oh and a question .. are there any extensions available for the light and servo cable ?

[Mouton]

While extension cables for the lights are not needed for a stock build I have not seen them as option parts. However, check with a PC hardware store if they might have something. If you cannont find a suitable connector, you could always cut and use a soldering iron and extend the existing cables if needed.

Regarding the servos, the MFU box states that two extension cables are necessary. You can find such cables in any hobby store.

Weird .. I thought I studied it :LOL:

Alright, then it makes sense ... cheers ...

is that the globeliner?

I don't remember needing extensions for the servo wires.

podfreak, Gomjaba is working on a King Hauler.

Gomjaba, while you have it apart, make sure that what is supposed to be left blinkers corresponds to correct servo and stick movements. I had to change left and right blinkers. Servos from different manufacturers can move in opposite directions when fed the exakt same signal (Futaba and Hitec). I used Futaba servos.

Concerning the extension cables, the box states it as does the manual for the MFU on the first page (it is the last bullet to be read "Before assembly"). It says extension cables may be required for double axle trucks to keep reach more than 50 cm.

blinkers are fine ... everything was working from the beginning.
The only issue I had was that the trims didn't work .. it worked SOMETIMES until I figured out that I musn't slide the trims all the way, just 3/4 .. when I found that out it is working 100% .. also blinker etc. Lucky I guess :)
I basically taped all lights onto the truck so I can see whether all lights etc. are working

What are the Aux lights for anyway ...

[nx_911_turbo]

I haven't built a rig with an MFU (yet), but the auxiliary lights would most likely be the roof lights, trailer side markers, and anything else that is always on/always off, but not the headlights/taillights.

take your time on it,..
