The must-have multi function unit gives your Tamiya 1/14 semi truck some attitude by lighting it up with LED lights (which work with the operation of the vehicle — for example, when the truck is turning left the left indicator flashes), adding realistic vibrations (idle and starting vibrations etc.), and of course, sounds:

24 different sounds

9 different types of lights

Vibrations synchronised with the motor output

Note

Choosing your remote controller: You need to decide whether you want to use a MFU (Multi Function Unit). Your choice is between an analog or digital trimmed 4-channel 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 (e.g. the Tamiya Attack 4YWD).

How to tell if your remote has analog or digital trim:
Analog trims slide from one end to the other.
Digital trims are switches that click in either direction (no sliding).
