The one on the end of the final drive shaft under the sprocket cap, it sits up against the taper bush, the last thing to do up before the sprocket cap goes on :)

In the video, are you using 96 track links on each side?

I am using a Futaba radio. I modified the throttle stick to spring loaded center return.

Oh. I thought you were using a Spektrum setup. Do you remember which two channels you are using; e.g. Aileron, Elevator etc.

The left speed control should be in the throttle stick and the right one should be on the elevator. I did use a spectrum radio one time because my Futaba radio came with the wrong receiver. I only bought the spectrum radio for the bench test The Futaba radio is superior because the option to modify the throttle stick with Futaba factory parts but I origibally couldn’t get it to work with the receiver it came with (t-fhsss.) After I ordered an s-fhss receiver I got it working and used it on my test drive. I recommend the Futaba mainly because the factory spring modification for a center return throttle stick.

I am pleased to have got this far in 5 months. I have done lots of experimenting and now am happy with my process so I think it will speed up a bit.
