should brake (and then reverse if available),
otherwise simply flick the Throttle Reverse
switch (I) to the “Rev” position.
Beneath the folding Control Panel Cover (D)
you will find an array of useful adjustments,
plus the Power Switch (P).
When the Power Switch (P) is moved left to
the ‘On’ position, the RED LED (J) lights up, as
does the Green LED (K), this shows a good
battery condition.
If the transmitter batteries are weak and the voltage drops below 9V DC,
the green LED flashes to alert you to the possibility that range will be
limited and control might be lost, so new batteries (or a recharge) are
advisable.
If the model does not track straight, adjust the Steering Trim Dial (M).
If the model creeps forwards or doesn’t sit at Neutral, adjust the Throttle
Trim Dial (N).
The Steering Dual Rate Dial (O) controls the total amount of steering
available. If the servo is straining against the steering end stops, turn it
down (clockwise) until it only just achieves maximum steering lock. If the
vehicle exhibits excess steering, or when at high speed you feel it over
reacts to the slightest adjustments, turn the Steering Dual Rate Dial
down yet further until the model becomes more controllable, but not so
far that you struggle to negotiate the tightest
corner on the course. If the servo is connected
to the receiver correctly but the model does
not steer at all, double check the Steering Dual
Rate Dial is not at Zero, before checking for
any more serious faults!

11) RECEIVER INSTALLATION.
The receiver should be securely mounted flat
and level in your model, within the receiver
box if available to protect it from moisture and
dust. When routing the aerial keep it as far
away from any electronic devices and metal work as reasonably
possible, with at least the last half of the aerial wire in a vertical aerial
tube to maximise control and range.
For Nitro or Petrol powered models connect the receiver battery (noting
correct polarity) into the socket marked “VCC” or via a suitable power
switch.
Electric vehicles equipped with an ESC should power the radio (via the
BEC) when plugged into channel 2, and receiver power is usually
controlled by the ESC switch.
The third channel is not used on this transmitter, so the third (bind)
socket can be used to power a cooling fan or Personal Transponder
(PT).
When at the mid position the model should
remain stationary, if it creeps slightly adjust
the throttle neutral dial accordingly.
When pulled back to the handset the model
should move forwards, if not flick the
Throttle switch to the ‘Rev’ position.
When pushed away the model should brake (and
then move in reverse if applicable) if not simply
flick the throttle switch to the ‘Rev’ position.
