c 6 Model Memory:
This radio system can be bound to 6 various receivers at one
Ɵ
me. The HRS-3 radio system automa
Ɵ
cally stores the data
informa
Ɵ
on (all End Point Adjustments, Steering and Thro
Ʃ
le Trim, and fail-safe se
ƫ
ngs) for each receiver allowing up to
6 vehicles to be used with one radio, however not at the same
Ɵ
me. Addi
Ɵ
onal receivers for your system can be pur-
chased from your local HobbyTown USA

Binding the Transmi
Ʃ
er and the Receiver:
The process of allowing communica
Ɵ
on to occur between a 2.4GHz transmi
Ʃ
er and receiver is called “binding” (some-
Ɵ
mes referred to as “matching” or “pairing”). The radio system included with your product comes pre-con
gured and
bound from the factory. In the event your system loses binding, one of the components has been replaced, or you
choose to add an addi
Ɵ
onal vehicle to your transmi
Ʃ
er, you will need to re-bind the transmi
Ʃ
er and receiver. Follow the
below steps for re-binding your radio system. Always ensure both transmi
Ʃ
er and receiver ba
Ʃ
eries are fully charged or
new when performing this process for best results.
NOTE: AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, PERFORM THE BINDING PROCESS WITH THE VEHICLE’S WHEELS OFF THE GROUND.
1. With the transmi
Ʃ
er in close proximity but not closer than 1
Ō
to the receiver, press
and hold the “BIND” bu
Ʃ
on on the receiver while turning on the power to the
receiver. The LED on the receiver will blink, indica
Ɵ
ng that the receiver is searching
for a transmi
Ʃ
er to bind with
2. Push and hold the REV bu
Ʃ
on on the transmi
Ʃ
er while moving the Power switch to
the ON posi
Ɵ
on. The transmi
Ʃ
er will automa
Ɵ
cally search and bind to the receiver.
This may take up to 10 seconds
3. Once the transmi
Ʃ
er and receiver are bound together, the receiver’s LED will turn
solid red. If the receiver’s LED does not turn solid red, turn o
ī
both the transmi
Ʃ
er
and receiver and repeat Steps 1-2
4. Ensure normal opera
Ɵ
on of thro

le and steering
5. If you experience anything other than normal opera
Ɵ
on, repeat the process
2.4 GHz Fail-Safe Adjustment:
NOTE: AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, PERFORM THE FAIL-SAFE ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE VEHICLE’S WHEELS OFF THE
GROUND.
1. With the transmi
Ʃ
er and receiver ON, push and hold the Fail-Safe (CH3) bu
Ʃ
on for 5 seconds to enter the Fail-Safe
programming mode
2. Move the thro
Ʃ
le trigger to the desired posi
Ɵ
on and press the Fail-Safe bu
Ʃ
on to program the thro
Ʃ
le Fail-Safe set-
Ɵ
ng. Perform this step again using the Steering Wheel to set the steering Fail-Safe se
ƫ
ng. Once the posi
Ɵ
ons are
programmed, the Status LED will blink on the receiver
a. It is recommended and common to set the thro
Ʃ
le Fail-Safe as Full Brake, i.e. the thro
Ʃ
le trigger is pressed
completely forward applying full brakes. This ensures that if the receiver cannot receive a signal from the
transmi
Ʃ
er, the servos or ESC will default to full brake causing the vehicle to stop
3. To test the Fail-Safe se
ƫ
ngs, turn the transmi
Ʃ
er o
ī
while the receiver is on. The servo will default to its pro-
grammed posi
Ɵ
ons and the motor should not spin (assuming you have set the fail
