This week I show off the mixing I use on my FS-i6 transmitters to tank steer combat robots
The receiver video: https://youtu.be/npt4z8P3CeY
It doesn’t have bind and fail-safe, I’ll make a video on those later

Thank you I just got the i6x but one wheel turns faster then the other. How do I adjust this?
Hi, nice video! I don't understand, i can only use the trottle joytick to make work one dc motor, when i try to use oder channel like your channel 1 and 2, it's doesn't work, do i forget something ? Thanks for your help
I just have a question about creating my own 3d printed tank, I am using the FS-I6x which has a 6 channel receiver, I am trying to run this set up in a tank mode so the left stick controls the left track and the right controls the right back and fourth too. I was wondering if you guys could possibly do a tutorial on how to set this up because I have been having so much trouble with trying this, thanks.
Just what i needed. Thank`s
hi ı have bts 7960 driver how can use with receiver ?
Hi, i am using flysky 6x for my tank robot. But not able to do settings. Im set up mode 2 where right stick has channel 1 & 2, Im using scorpion mini dual controller. Can you Please advise me complete settings.
Great video! Thanks for the tips. What happens when you push the stick to the corners – like upper left or lower right? Does it provide variable power to each motor, like a skid steer? I am wondering if I could use this to power only the left motor, or only the right motor, independently for more gradual turning.
Interesting. I set the mixes like yours except the -100 on channel 1 and +100 on channel 2. it made my controls at 45 degrees to go forward. I reverted back to no mix, all works fine. My issue is needing a little more dead space in the middle in both axis and the left and right to be less sensitive. It steers side to side too quickly. Mine is based on wheelchair motor and a sabertooth driver.
Thank you so much! I’ve got a question, how do I by chance make the motor go backwards and forwards on channel 1. I’ve been stumped on figuring it out especially because I’m using a brushed motor
It works well! Thank you. But how to setup the reverse/backward? When it is on reverse/bakward the steering is reverse too. Turn left becoming turn right and vice versa. Any idea on how to fix this?
What kind of esc are you using? Most esc are just for one channel
For the beginner like myself, there is a couple of other things I'd like to know how to set up on a controller like this.
1. If I want, let's say a motor, to be controllable by an aux switch (bad example is bad but it's the best easy way I can think of it) How would one set the aux channel up? By which I mean; by default, a 2 setting switch goes from -100% to 100% which on a motor would be full reverse and full forward. But I don't want it to do that, I want it to be full stop to full forward.
The actual use I want this for is for the eletromagnetic suspention idea, since wiring -100% would just swap polarity. Pretty sure I'd still need to link something like an ESC or some kind of controller up to it to be able to control it from the transmitter.
2. Can an aux switch on this transmitter be used as a reverse switch? My first bot might be a flipper, but I'm going to want to build an invertable spinner eventually. Would I have to buy a new transmitter, or can this one pull of an "I'm upside down!" switch. (Friendly reminder to set one up for AnneRUOK, if you've not.)
Thanks for making this video! I'm looking at options for controlling a vintage Kyosho tracked vehicle (a Heavy Metal) and this gave some really useful info.
Great tuition. What is the OFFSET button used for in the mix menu?
Thanks for going slowly enough that we beginners can follow both what you said and what buttons you were pushing to get that done!
I'm curious about your ESC. In order to most efficiently drive 2 tank tread motors, am I correct that I need to use to separate brushed ESCs?
If you would suggest a single ESC with JST power leads for 2 motors instead, what should I look for (what is this called)?
Your video greatly simplified what for me, was a very confusing programming task. Cheers! – Jim
Is it possible to use a continuous servo drive?
Its much cheaper than getting two n20 motors and a dual brushed esc but my servo's only turn a certain amount, not forever, so I drive about an inch then stop
But they are capable of 360 degree rotation
I have this contorller an need help slowing my steering down
Thanks. Mine worked for few minutes. An then now all I have the wheels run opposite in all positions. I went to reverse an changed one at a time an made no difference in the rotation
does anyone know how to do this mixing on TBS Tango Pro 2. Need help 🙁
Is it possible to do a QX7 video? I just purchased one and am having trouble setting up the mixing.
Thanks, very helpful!
muito bom obrigado amigo era isso mesmo que eu precisava.
i have a flysky fs-i6x, may i please ask you how to program my flysky on the right side controls. if i push the gimball to 12 :00 clock my bot goes forward, 6:00 clock it will go backwards, 9:00 clock it will turn left and you know 3:00 clock it turns right. I've searched the internet but I'm unable to find good instructions. I'd appreciate any help. I'm 63 and crazy. my email is jfinke24@yahoo.com thank you!!
helpful video i am using your method with FSi6 to control a rudder-less boat – ( 2 thrusters which operate like tank steer ) thankyou. im also going to try elevon method and see how that gets on . I'm not a serious RC hobbyist but i've found the fsi6 to be a great value little transmitter for all my amateur projects despite its confusing button presses in the setup menus. the little battery voltage telemetry modules (FS-CVT01) which you can get for it are great too – well worth investing a few pounds if its a model that you really can't have a battery cut out situation, such as plane or boat. they also do temperature and RPM modules possibly others. good luck with tank steering everyone!
I love how there's no dislikes
What is all this mix crap?? Seems like a pain in the ass. Why not just change channels by the receiver to make it real easy? If you want to change something just unplug it and move it to a different channel…..
Thanks a lot mate. Can you do the same demo on the fx i6S. Will be a great help for an old bugger trying to do young guys things. I get so confused trying to on a touch screen. All the best for 2021.
I'd love to know the setup for a Lara motor
Cheers
John
Wow wow wow! That is exactly what Justine advised me to do. The only thing is, I don't have a clue as to how to do it on the actual TX until now that I have watched your video. Good show mate thanks lots.
Man thanks for this, have now changed this on my Skid steer robot.
Thanks for the valuable info. I don't have a very hi techo brain. I would appreciate a show on how to with 4 motors. like in 4wd.
Seriously, many thanks for sharing these tips!
great
Help i did this but as soon as the stick is in the middle my motors start spinning like mad anyone now the solution
