Controller Introduction
Basic Controls
1. Forward Throttle Trigger
Your Atomik Barbwire 2 can be driven forward by pulling the
throttle trigger. Release the trigger to stop the boat.
NOTE: The Atomik Barbwire 2 does not have reverse function.
2. Left/Right Steering Wheel
The steering wheel controls the model’s left and right
movement. Turn the wheel to the left to steer to the left. Turn
the wheel right to steer the boat right. Release the wheel to
go straight.
TIP: This model is designed for clockwise turning and will be
less responsive to steering inputs at high speed, particularly
left turns. Decrease your speed to allow tighter turning.
Controller & Receiver Binding
The binding process ties the controller and receiver together. Under normal circumstances, both items are
supplied like this from the factory. If, however, you find that your controller and boat are not
communicating (receiver’s red LED light is on), please follow these instructions:
1. Switch “ON” the controller.
2. Switch “ON” the receiver by attaching the 11.1V LiPo battery pack’s connector to the matching connector
in the boat.
3. Press the “BIND” button on the receiver. The receiver’s green LED light will be on to indicate that binding
has been successful and the receiver will now accept commands from the controller.
NOTE 1: During the binding process, the controller and receiver should be no more than 3ft. apart and no
other similar devices should be within 35ft.
NOTE 2: If the green LED light is flashing, the binding process has failed. Please repeat the steps above.
The reciever channels are marked 1 through 4 on the
receiver label.
NOTE: Channels 3 and 4 are not used for the Barbwire 2.
Channel 1 is for steering control and should be connected to
the steering servo.
Channel 2 is for throttle control and should be connected to
the ESC (electronic speed controller).
When connecting the servo and ESC, be sure to do so with
the lightest colored wire facing upwards or towards the label
side of the receiver. This color may vary and will be either
white or yellow.
