Fuel Mixture

When selected, Grip Lever A can be used to access the 

Auxiliary Channel 3 function of the XS3 PRO for use as a 

fuel mixture channel.

When the LN (linear) Auxiliary Channel 3 function is 

selected, Grip Lever A can be used to change the neutral 

position of the servo to lean or richen the engine’s fuel 

mixture. Once the desired fuel mixture has been achieved, 

the Grip Lever A value indicated on this screen can be 

transferred manually to the Sub-Trim function and the value 

of the AUX screen can be returned to zero. Please refer to 

diagram A below for proper grip lever operation.

Transmission Shift Selector

When the 2P Auxiliary Channel function is selected, the 

Grip Lever A can be used to move the Auxiliary 3 Channel 

servo to one of two positions (left/right or forward/reverse) 

when LA or Eb is selected for the Grip Button C function. 

Please refer to diagram A below for proper shifting 

procedures.

Note

: The End-Point Adjustment function is used to 

set the forward and reverse gear servo travel positions.

Grip Lever A: Brake End-Point Adjustment/Auxiliary Channel 3 Access

Brake End-Point Adjustment

The Brake End-Point Adjustment, located at Grip Lever A, 

allows the maximum servo travel on the braking side of the 

throttle trigger to be increased or decreased from 100% to 

0% (off). This function is very useful in race conditions as 

it allows the racer to custom tailor the “panic” brake value 

to maximize the car’s braking power for the current track 

conditions. Please note that since the Brake End-Point 

value shown in the “BRK” screen is a percentage of the 

total braking value established in the End-Point Adjustment 

function (page 25), the value will not always increase or 

decrease each time the Grip Lever A is moved.

Note

: If Grip Lever A is assigned an Auxiliary Channel 

3 function by selecting “LN” or “2P” with Grip Button 

C in use, the Brake End-Point Adjustment will not be 

available.

Hint

: Set the Brake End-Point Adjustment to 100% 

before making mechanical brake linkage adjustments 

and before you program any electronic speed control. 

This will ensure maximum brake travel is available.

To adjust the brake endpoint value, move the electronic 

Grip Lever A either left (-) or right (+). As soon as the grip 

lever is moved, the BRK End-Point Adjustment screen will 

appear and will continue to be displayed unless the Grip 

Lever A is untouched for a period of two seconds.
