USING YOUR HRSS-2 RADIO SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME

5

Binding the Radio System: 

The process of allowing communication to occur between a 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver is 

called “binding” (sometimes referred to as “matching” or “pairing”). The radio system included 

with your product has an auto-bind function that binds to the vehicle receiver every time the two 

are powered on. When each are powered on they “search” for a match to bind with and begin the 

binding procedure automatically. This usually works without issue, however if you are attempting to 

operate multiple vehicles at the same time, be sure that you only turn one pair (transmitter/vehicle) 

on at a time, waiting approximately 20 seconds before turning on another pair. This will ensure each 

user’s vehicle is bound to their transmitter. If a mis-bind occurs, simply turn off all units and begin 

the process again.

Setting the Trims: 

1.  Turn the transmitter ON and ensure the LED is lit SOLID indicating the batteries are supplying 

adequate voltage for proper operation.

2.  Ensure your vehicle battery is fully charged, installed and connected, then turn ON your vehicle.

3.  Setting the throttle trim

a.  If the wheels spin in a forward direction when the trigger is in the neutral position, turn 

down the trim until the motor stops by pressing the (-) button.

b.  If the wheels spin in a reverse direction when the trigger is in the neutral position, turn up 

the trim until the motor stops by pressing the (+) button.

c. 

There will be a “dead band” area where the trim can be adjusted a slight amount in either 

direction and the wheels will not begin to move. It is ideal to have the trim set in the middle 

of this “dead band”.

d. 

The LED will flash when you have reached the center point of the trim setting range on the 

transmitter.

4.  Setting the steering trim

a.  With your vehicle and transmitter turned on (and properly responding to transmitter 

inputs), set the vehicle down on the ground and slowly accelerate in a direction directly 

away from you. If the vehicle veers slightly either to the left or right, stop the vehicle and 

adjust the Steering Trim in the opposite direction of the veer in small increments, one but

-

ton press at a time.

i.  Press the (-) button to increase LEFT trim.

ii.  Press the (+) button to increase RIGHT trim.

iii. 

The LED will flash when you have reached the center point of the trim setting range 

on the transmitter.

b. 

Reset the vehicle and re-test; adjust the trim as needed until the vehicle travels in a 

straight line while the transmitter wheel remains at center location (“hands-off”).

Storage:

•  Always store all equipment in a cool dry place when not in use.

•  Always disconnect the batteries before storage.

•  Never store the battery, vehicle or transmitter in direct sunlight for extended periods of time

•  Never store the transmitter with batteries installed for extended periods of time. Doing so may 

allow the batteries to leak and cause permanent damage to the transmitter.

Disposal:

Your product is equipped with LiPo batteries which are considered electronic waste and should 

never be discarded in standard garbage containers. Please visit your local hobby dealer and use the 

FREE battery disposal center for proper disposal/recycling.
