MTC 7500, which contains many of these items. The
items should be available through your local hobby shop.
The list of items you will need are:

12 new heavy duty AA size Alkaline batteries for
transmitter and receiver

ommended)

Radio
Your Megatech Tempest Gladiator is equipped with a top
quality 2 channel pistol grip radio control unit. The com-
ponents are completely installed and set up at the factory.
Please see the transmitter photo for the location of the
controls, trim knobs and other features. The radio control
unit operates on either the 27 or 75 mhz band. Your radio
includes:
•
Transmitter (takes your steering and throttle con-
trol inputs, turns them into radio signals, then
sends the radio signals through the air to the
truck)
•
Receiver (takes the transmitter’s radio signals,
decodes them, and sends the proper electronic
commands to the truck’s servos)
•
Servos (which turn the Receiver’s electronic
commands into physical force that steer the
wheels or operate the slide carburetor)
•
On-Off Switch for Transmitter and Receiver
•
Battery Holders for Transmitter and Receiver
