This Tank Module may be connected with four, five or six channel receiver. The currently active mode of operation is recognized
automatically. Please consider that the radio must be setup correctly (all mixers must be deactivated, the servo deflection must be 100% and
the trimming is centered)
If the channels five and/or six are used, they must be equipped either as a slider, knob or 3-way-switch (up-off-down). Otherwise only four-
channel operation is possible (although mostly all functions are also available with only four channels). The wires of unused channels may
not be connected to the receiver.
The TankModule electronics provides the power supply for the receiver (BEC, stabilized 5V DC) via the red/black wires which are part of the
proportional cable set.
The receiver cable has to be attached to the receiver connector on the Tank Module. The wire color pin assignment is as follows:
Ch. Control

Right stick
2

Left stick

Depending on the receiver it may be necessary to adjust the channel order or swap its movement direction. Check the manual of your rc gear
This mode is active if the blue wire of the receiver cable isn't attached to the receiver. The turret, weapon and special functions are controlled
solely by the left stick of the radio.
