4) Check the direction of the servo rotation.  If you wish to change the direction of the

servo, push the servo reversing switch and check if it changes direction as you desired.
(See fig 4)

5) If you wish to have more forward throttle than backward, you can push down the neutral

position adjustment lever.  You will have 30% more forward than backward.  The control
stick will only return to the lower position.  You may have to adjust the servo horn posi-
tion when you do this.

6) Adjustable Travel Volume: you may use this volume to adjust servo travel according to

the characteristics of your model; the servo travel can be adjusted from 50% to 100% of
the total travel range by turning each ATV knob on the transmitter. (See fig 5).  Turning
clockwise will increase servo travel and counter clockwise will decrease servo travel.

7) Quick Start/Brake: This button is located at the back of the transmitter and is a conve-

nient feature if you ever get involved in competition racing.  While pressing the button
with you little finger, you hold the throttle stick at full throttle, then let go at the start
signal by releasing the button.  This button also doubles as a quick brake when you
need it.  Instead of throwing the throttle stick down, you can simply press this button to
bring your car to a screeching halt.  Before using the Quick Start/Brake feature, you
should preset the braking point by adjusting the Throttle Quick Trim as follows; With the
throttle stick set in neutral for your servo or speed control, press the Quick Start/Brake
button to see if braking position is correct.  If not, adjust the trim.  You may adjust the trim
while the car is running but you would have to take extra care so it does not get out of
control.  (See fig 6)

8) If everything checks OK, turn your receiver off before you turn your transmitter off.

Remember that this is exactly the reverse sequence of turning the system “ON”.
