Check to see that your servo wires are in the receiver correctly (brown=black, orange=white, red=red).

Have your 3pk on PPM mode with the receiver you have, it should work fine.

Change the throttle servo direction until your radio displays "reverse on".

Plug the battery pack in (no separate receiver battery), turn your transmitter on and hold the throttle back, than turn the MGM switch on (while still holding the throttle back, "full throttle").

Keep it held like this for about 10 seconds and suddenly, the unit will just beep three times. Immediately move the throttle to full "brake" position and the unit will beep at you one time. Next, let go of the throttle, to the "neutral" position, and the unit will beep twice... Go in to programming from here.

You can try reversing this procedure and go to "full brake" position first, to see if the servo direction is correctly set. (because of it being Futaba)

Other than that, give it some patience, and setting it up will be easier as you learn it. It is made in the Czech republic and some features/grammar/information/programming seem like they have been lost in the translation... to say it comically.

Check out the MGM-compro.com website for some more information, like changing the unit so that there will be no large "spark", normally encountered when plugging in a pack of large voltage.

I have heard about the service being slow/bad, but in my experience, they have answered all of my questions so far and have stood behind their products.

I had Mike order some MGM brake light kits (two small LED's) that plug in to the unit and give a cool effect!

Good luck ya all. Keep posting your problems and we'll all collaborate to solve the issues. Great Forum!
