Important: When you're choosing your remote controller for your Tamiya semi truck, you need to figure if you want to use a MFU (Multi Function Unit). Your choice is between an analog or digital trimmed 4ch radio.
If you plan on using your Tamiya semi without an MFU, you can use either analog or digital.
If you plan on using your Tamiya semi with an MFU, you can only use an analog remote controller like the Tamiya Attack 4YWD.
Also, You will need to purchase separately available longer-cabled LEDs (Items 56549-56551) if using MFCs.
How can I tell if my remote has analog or digital trim?
- Analog remote trims slide from one end to the other
- Digital remote trims are switches and click in either direction (no sliding)
