Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
Hello all, I am new to forums and I would like to ask for some help. I am currently trying to figure out how to install the BR6000 with the DMD unit that comes with the pershing. So far I've been getting a feedback noise from the speaker unit and unsure if I did something wrong. Also on top of that I am unsure where the channels connect into the receiver, since the instruction booklet is not very detailed about this part. I appreciate your help in advance!

Garon,
The guys at Desert Armor Korps (DAK) have some tips about using Spektrum radios with Tamiya tanks. Look for the pdf link on this page
http://web.mac.com/ethandunsford/iWe...io%20Room.html
Which booklet wasn't clear, the Tamiya or Spektrum?
Where in California are you located? If you are in the southern part, check out our website (below)

RE: Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
Hello ksoc,
Thanks for the reply! I am actually northern CA, SF...it was the Tamiya booklet that wasn't really clear on where the other channels would connected to the receiver. Programming the remote with the receiver is pretty alien to me so I have to do a little more research on that, but thanks for the link I will read up on it. If you have any more info I would appreciate it!
Thanks,

Where in the Bay Area are you? You might contact member of or visit the Bay Area Tankers website for advice on your Spektrum. It might be too late, but our first club meeting is tomorrow 1/14 starting at 1PM in Portola Valley. Several members here have the Spektrum dialed in with various Tamiya tanks. See http://www.bayareatankers.org/ for more info.

Hi lester!
Yes I know about the BAT I've spoken to Jay(?) a few months back when I got my tank, and he invited me out to one of your meets...I think it was back in Oct? I have contacted him today since he did suggested to me about the spektrum and the Br6000, so I hope to hear from him soon.
Thanks,

If you can make it to the meeting tomorrow, you can talk to and see how the latest mods with the radio are being done for the Spektrum. Weather is gonna be clear, so we will be running our tanks! Hope to see you!

Well it seems like I binded alright? I can get the turret to turn and the cannon to go up and down, but I can't make it move. Not sure how to proceed really, funny thing is to turn the turret its on my left stick up and down, to make the cannon go up and down is lef to right on my right stick. Will mess around with it tonight to see if I can get it right.

RE: Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
You can always assign different functions to different sticks. You have to know what the different channels are on the receiver. Left and right on the right stick is the aileron channel. If you want to move the cannon up and down by pressing up and down on your right stick, then pull the up/down cannon electrical lead from the aileron channel on the receiver and plug the lead into the elevator channel.
All receivers have standard airplane setup:
* Up/Down on left stick = throttle
* Left/Right on left stick = rudder
* Up/Down on right stick = elevator
* Left/Right on right stick = aileron

RE: Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
One question, did you rev the engine in reverse to trip the safety feature of the tank? The Pershing saftey feature reacts differently to different radios and my spectrum works by pulling the stick pull down and holding it for a second. You can adjust the throttle trim on the radio.
One fix we recommend is a replacement battery for the DX6 that has increased running time 10x. I will post the link when I get back to my other computer.

RE: Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
Actually no I could not run it or anything, just the turret turn & cannon elevation was the only two things I could do. I tried making it run, but couldn't do I don't know what I did wrong.
My current channel setting on my receiver is this:
BR6000 (BOT receiver) Tamiya DMD
BAT CH.2
THR CH.4
AILE CH.3
RUD CH.1
GER na
AUX na
Thanks for the help guys!

Garon,
Does the engine rev, but the tracks don't move? The Pershing has a 'safety' feature that when you first turn it on, the tracks won't move until you move the trim, rev the motor, then reset the trim. This is to stop you tank from launching off a table accidently. It should be detailed in the smaller instruction book that came with the Pershing.

RE: Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
That sounds like the right setup for me, what is that setup edoubleaz?
Edit: Finally got the motor to rev, but can't get it out of neutral to make it run.
Edit: Ha got it to run, but when I click left it turns right, click right it turns left, is this right? Or could I make it click left it turns left, click right it turns right?
Edit: Night mode doesn't work, cannon led does not work.

Yes what he said, you can reverse the functions with the radio. Refer to the manual to see the exact switch combination. The next step is naming the tank setting so you can look cool with your friends. Our biggest problem as a club right now is our Spektrums look alike. I put a US Army Air Corps logo on mine.

RE: Spektrum/BR6000 & Tamiya Pershing DMD
there is also a upgrade do'able to the DX6 transmitter to make it have longer runtimes, the DX6 has a cheap quality power regulator which is very inefficient.
i found this upgrade while looking for variouse parts for tanks, http://www.dimensionengineering.com/...ektrum_mod.htm , it does require some skill with a soldering iron and will invalidate your warrenty (but it seems worth it)
the results will increase runtime from about 2hours 19mins to about 5hours 33mins

Oh that sounds neat, yeah I noticed that the battery goes down pretty fast when I use it. The link is on that page on where to purchase it correct?
Thanks,
