SPEKTRUM DX3R USER GUIDE
changIng to left-handed
confIguratIon
The DX3R is shipped set up for right-handed use but
can easily be switched to a left-handed configuration.
All the parts necessary to convert to left-handed,
including the grip plates, the back cover and the front
shell, are included. A 3/32-inch hex wrench and a
small Phillips screwdriver will be needed.
1. Remove the batteries from the transmitter. This
prevents the possibility of accidentally causing a
short during the conversion.
2. Carefully remove the grip cover by prying
with your fingers at the forward edge of the
rubber grip.
3. Using a 3/32-inch hex wrench, remove the three
screws on the front of the steering housing
as shown.
4. Carefully remove the steering mechanism
and unplug the steering connector. Also
remove the backplate.
5. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the
four Phillips screws (two per side) that fasten the
grip plates in place and remove the grip plate that
doesn’t have the buttons attached.
6. Carefully pull out the grip plate that contains
buttons D, E and F. Using a Phillips screwdriver
remove the PC board and backplate from the grip
plate. Note the positions of the three buttons.
7. Transfer the three buttons (D,E and F) to the other
“handed” grip plate noting that the buttons fit in
a specific direction so that they fit the external
contour of the grip plate.
8. Carefully screw the PC board and backplate
in place and test that all buttons are
depressing properly.
9. Place both grip plates in place and fasten them
using four Phillips screws (two per side).
10. Push the steering wheel connector through the
transmitter case to the opposite side.
11. Select the opposite “handed” steering shell and
pass the steering wheel mechanism connector
through the hole in the shell.
