RADIO SYSTEM BASIC ADJUSTMENTS

Steering Trim

The steering trim knob located on the face of 
the transmitter adjusts the neutral (center) point 

of the steering channel. If your model pulls to the right or 
left when the steering wheel is centered, turn the knob 
until the model drives straight when the steering wheel is 
centered.

Channel Reversing

The 2.4GHz transmitter has been programmed with 
the correct servo direction settings for your model and 
should not require adjustment. These instructions are for 
reference and troubleshooting only.

Reversing a channel reverses the direction of the 
corresponding servo. For example, if you turn the steering 
wheel to the right and the model turns left, Channel 1 
would need to be reversed to correct the servo direction. 
Use the following procedures to reverse the steering and 
throttle channels, if necessary. Servo reversing should 
only be required if you accidentally reset the direction 
of a channel. 

Do not reverse the steering or throttle 

channels unless necessary.

Steering reversing procedure:

1.  Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter for 

two seconds. The status LED will flash green.

2.  Turn and hold the steering wheel to the full left or full 

right position (it does not matter which position you 
choose).

3.  While holding the steering wheel in position, press the 

SET button to reverse the channel. 

4.  The channel is now reversed. Confirm correct servo 

operation before running your model.

Throttle reversing procedure:

Note: 

Throttle reversing is often times unnecessary on 

electric models, as issues with the throttle can usually 
be solved by reprogramming the speed control and/
or verifying that the motor is wired correctly. Before 
attempting to reverse the throttle channel using the 
procedure below, you should first recalibrate the speed 
control. Refer to “ESC Setup Programming” on page 15

.

1.  Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter for 

two seconds. The status LED will flash green.

2.  Move and hold the throttle trigger to the full forward or 

full brake position (it does not matter which position you 
choose).

3.  While holding the throttle trigger in position, press the 

SET button to reverse the channel. 

4.  The channel is now reversed. Recalibrate the speed 

control and then confirm correct servo operation before 
running your model.

Binding Instructions

For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must 
be electronically “bound”.  This has been done for you at 
the factory. Should you ever need to re-bind the system 
or bind to an additional transmitter or receiver, follow 
these instructions. 

Note:

 

The receiver must be connected 

to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power source for binding and the 
transmitter and receiver must be within 5 feet of each other.

1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter.
2. Turn on the transmitter and release the SET button. 

The status LED will flash red slowly, indicating that the 
transmitter is in bind mode. 

3. Press and hold the LINK button on the receiver.
4. Turn on the speed control by pressing the EZ-Set 

button, and release the LINK button.

5. When the LEDs on both the transmitter and the receiver 

turn solid green, the system is bound and ready for use. 
Confirm that the steering and throttle operate properly 
before driving your model.

Failsafe

The 2.4GHz radio system is equipped with a built-in 

failsafe function that returns the throttle to its last saved 
neutral position in the event of a signal loss. The LED on the 
transmitter and the receiver will rapidly flash red when the 
failsafe mode is activated. If failsafe activates while you are 
operating your model, determine the reason for signal loss 
and resolve the problem before operating your model again.
