[SEMI TRUCK VIDEO] Tamiya 1/14 Scania R620 Semi Truck with SLU Sound and Light Unit demo - GT3B
Here's a demo of using the "hacked" GT3B (custom firmware by PSX) to control the Scania R620 installed with SLU sound and light unit.
Some info, the GT3B is setup to control 4 channels in this semi-truck.
Channel 1: Steering - steering knob
Channel 2: Throttle - throttle trigger
Channel 3: Function Mode select - assigned to Dual Rate switch on the GT3B, setup as a 5 position switch ( -100, -50, 0, 50, 100)
Channel 4: Function activate - assigned to 3rd Channel Trim switch on the GT3B, setup as a 3 position switch
Summary of the controls
