Steering Trim (TRM-CH1)

Throttle neutral adjustments can be made moving the throttle
trim to the left or right.

Racers Tip

When using an electronic speed control, set the throttle
trim to neutral and make adjustments to the speed control.
On a gas powered model, set the trim to neutral and adjust
the linkage to the point where the carburetor is fully closed
in accordance with the engine instruction manual.

Trim Operation and Travel

Trim adjustments will affect the overall servo travel.
Check the brake side (backward) movement when changes
are made.

When trim movement is extreme

If you use most of the trim movement to get the servo to the
neutral position , recenter the servo horn closer to the neutral
position and inspect your throttle linkage.

Throttle Trim (TRM-CH2)

Steering neutral adjustments can be made by moving the Steer-
ing trim knob to the left or right.

Racers Tip

When you install a servo, always check to be sure the
servo is at its neutral position. Adjust the servo horn hole
position and linkage so both are parallel. When a servo
saver is used, place it as close to center position as pos-
sible. Be sure the steering trim on the transmitter is at the
neutral position.

Trim  Operation And Maximum Travel

Changing the trim can affect the overall settings. When
adjustments are made with the trims, recheck your installa-
tion for maximum travel. (Steering EPA right side and left
side).

When Trim usage is extreme

If it takes most of your trim movement to get a servo to the
neutral position, reposition the servo horn or servo saver on
the servo and inspect your linkage installation.
