The Receiver/Speed Control
1. Receiver:
receives the signal from the transmitter
to control the model.
2. Receiver Crystal:
determines which channel it
will receive.
3. On/Off Switch:
controls power to the receiver.
4. Antenna Mast:
receives the signal from the
transmitter.
5. Power Plug:
connects battery pack to the
receiver/speed control.
6. Steering Servo:
controls steering movement.
7. Steering Servo Plug:
receiver connection and
power supply.
8. Electronic Speed Control:
controls power and
direction of the motor.
9. Motor Plugs:
power connection from the speed
control.
Changing Frequencies/Channels
The Mini-T radio operates on 27mhz and has 6 different frequencies/channels available. Simply put, a frequency
is like a TV channel. The transmitter you hold in your hand is like the TV station and the model with the matching
crystal is like your TV tuned exclusively to the channel of the station. The Mini-T radio is equipped with change-
able crystals that allow you to change the frequency/channel you operate on. This is expecially useful when you
want to run a group of Mini-T's at the same time. When changing crystals/channels you must always replace the
crystals as a set with one going in both the transmitter and the receiver in the truck. Each of the 6 different chan-
nels are numbered and color-coded. Each set includes a unique crystal for the receiver marked (RX) and one for
the transmitter marked (TX). The crystals are changed by gently pulling them out, then lining up the two pins of
each crystal with its socket, carefully pushing the new crystals into place.
DO NOT
force them as damage can
occur.
If they do not slide into the socket easily check for bent or misaligned pins.

Making Adjustments
The following are simple adjustments and easily maintained settings that will assure proper operation and per-
formance. Since the Mini-T comes from the factory with optimum settings we suggest first-time R/C drivers leave
these as they are and simply maintain them as necessary. Only after gaining experience should new drivers try
experimenting with different settings.
Chassis Tuning
The Mini-T has several adjustments available to you for tuning the performance for your needs. Although there
are multiple shock positions and camber link locations provided, as noted above we have built the model with the
best overall settings. The following are simple adjustments and easily maintained settings that will assure proper
operation and performance. It is advised that when making any adjustment you do so in small increments and
always check for other parts of the chassis that are affected.
Slipper Adjustments
The Mini-T is equipped with a slipper device that offers both traction control
and protection for the transmission. The slipper is primarily used to help absorb
sudden impacts on the drive train due to landing big jumps or when using more
powerful aftermarket motors and/or battery packs. Additionally, it can be used to
smooth out the flow of power to the rear wheels and limit wheel spin when running
on extremely slick surfaces. Adjustment is made by turning the 3mm adjustment
nut clockwise (to the right) to reduce the slip or counterclockwise (to the left) to in-
crease the slip.
