RADIO SYSTEM RULES 

• The 2.4GHz transmitter has a directional antenna.

For maximum range, hold the transmitter upright and 
pointed in the direction of the model. Pointing the 
transmitter away from the model will reduce radio range.

• Always turn your transmitter on first and off last. This

procedure will help to prevent your model from receiving
stray signals from another transmitter, or other source,
and running out of control. Your model has electronic
failsafes to prevent this type of malfunction, but the first,
best defense against a runaway model is to 

always turn

the transmitter on first and off last.

• Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the

radio system. Weak batteries will limit the radio signal
between the receiver and the transmitter. Loss of the
radio signal can cause you to lose control of your model.

• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one

another, the receiver in the model must be turned on
within 20 seconds of turning on the transmitter. The
transmitter LED will flash fast red, indicating a failure to
link. If you miss it, simply turn off the transmitter and
start over.

• DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver’s antenna wire.

Cutting the antenna will reduce range.

When rechargeable batteries begin to lose their 
charge, they will fade much faster than alkaline dry 

cells. Stop immediately at the first sign of weak batteries. 
Never turn the transmitter off when the battery pack is 
plugged in. The model could run out of control.

Always turn your 

transmitter on first.

Plug in the battery.

Turn on the model.
