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.
