THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER SPECIFICALLY FOR USE WITH 
THE 

RCS

 TX-4, TX-8, TX-7 & TX-9 HANDPIECES. 

THERE ARE SEPARATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH ANY 2.4 
GHz R/C WITH 4 OR MORE CHANNELS.  
THOSE OTHER INSTRUCTIONS REFER SPECIFICALLY TO THE 
SPEKTRUM DX5e 2.4 GHz R/C. 
THEY ALSO APPLY TO THE DX4e, DX6i & PLANET T5.  

N.B. YOU 

CANNOT MIX BRANDS OF R/C.

USED WITH ANY STICK TYPE DSM2/DSMX TRANSMITTER OR:  RCS DSMX TX HANDPIECES 

 

#

OMEGA-3v7 

HAS BEEN CALIBRATED AT THE FACTORY.  ONCE RX IS “BOUND” TO TX THE SYSTEM IS READY TO USE AS IS. 

THERE ARE MANY FEATURES WITHIN THE SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE PROGRAMMED.  YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE FULL 

INSTRUCTION MANUAL FROM THE RCS WEBSITE.  THE PUSHBUTTON ON THE ESC PCB IS ONLY USED FOR PROGRAMMING.  

DO NOT PRESS THE ESC BUTTON DURING OPERATION. 

 

DO NOT CONNECT TO MAINS POWER (110 – 240V AC). 

 

THE

OMEGA-3v7 

CAN BE USED WITH ANY FILTERED DC SUPPLY SUCH AS BATTERY POWER. 

THEY HAVE CONSTANT BRIGHTNESS DIRECTIONAL LIGHTS & 4 SOUND TRIGGERS. 

 

THE FOLLOWING MAXIMUM VOLTAGES MENTIONED ARE THE 

NOMINAL

 VOLTAGE & TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT FULLY 

CHARGED BATTERIES CAN & DO EXCEED THE 

NOMINAL

 VOLTAGE. 

USE MIN 14v – 20v FOR THE

 high voltage version. 

 

We tested this system three times during manufacture.  It was working normally when it left our factory. 

If damage in transit has occurred, please return to place of purchase for attention. 

 

THE ESC IS GUARANTEED FOR ONE YEAR. 

 

The solid state motor driver output IC is guaranteed for life. 

 

You will supply a locomotive or trail car, the 14 – 20 volt traction batteries (depending on ESC), a fuse, 

ON-OFF switch and wires where necessary, to connect the ESC to the battery and motor(s). 

Where soldering is necessary, we recommend a low wattage soldering iron and resin core solder. 

 

TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH OTHER OPERATORS, WE SUGGEST YOU MARK THE TX TO 

SHOW WHICH LOCO IT OPERATES. 

 

CAUTION 

 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE TUNING OF THE RADIO EQUIPMENT. 

DO NOT USE RADIO CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN THUNDERSTORMS. 

 

CHILDREN UNDER 12:       ADULT SUPERVISION RECOMMENDED DURING USE.
