1. Install the antenna by threading it firmly into place in a clockwise direction.
2. Install 8-AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter’s battery holder located in the base of the transmitter. Be sure to install the batteries in the direction shown on the
battery holder.
3. Install 4-AA batteries in the receiver battery holder (the battery holder can be omitted when using an ESC).
4. Connect servos, 4-cell battery pack and switch harness to the receiver as shown above.
5. Turn on the transmitter, then turn on the receiver switch harness.
6. Center the steering and throttle trim adjustments and make sure all servos operate according to transmitter movements.
7. Turn off the system, receiver first, then transmitter.
8. Install the entire radio system into your model as shown in the model’s instruction manual.
9. If you need to reverse the direction in which a servo rotates, slide the servo reversing switch to the “R” position.

The transmitter requires 8 AA batteries. Do not mix old and new cells or mix alkaline, Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries. To install the batterie, slide open the battery door on the
bottom of the transmitter. Install the batteries in the holder following the configuration molded into the case, making sure to note the proper polarities on each cell. Close
the battery door.
Turn the power switch on. The red “Batt” LED should illuminate. If not, turn off the transmitter and check the configuration of the batteries to make sure each cell is firmly
in place and in the proper direction. If the red LED blinks, the batteries are low on power and should be replaced. DO NOT OPERATE AN R/C VEHICLE WITH LOW
BATTERIES AS IT COULD RESULT IN REDUCED RANGE AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MODEL.
Install the antenna by threading it firmly into place in a clockwise direction.
*The RC SPORT 2-PY is equipped with an external charge jack for re-charging optional Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Never attempt to re-charge alkaline or other
non-rechargeable batteries.
During normal conditions, the range, or safe operating distance from the transmitter is as far as you can clearly see the model. The RC SPORT 2-PY operates on the 27
AM frequency bands. There are 12 different channels in the 27Mhz AM. For safety reasons, you must always be aware of what channel you are using so that no two radios
in the same area are ever operating on the same frequency simultaneously.

Receiver: Insert 4-AA alkaline batteries into the receiver battery holder in the drection shown on the battery holder. After the servos and receiver are mounted into your
model per the model’s manual, connect the servos and switch arness to the receiver as shown. The servo connectors are polarized to prevent improper connection, but do
pay close attention when connecting them to the receiver. The black wire goes toward the outside edge of the receiver case. If you are using an electronic speed control
connect the ESC’s throttle lead to channel 2 in the receiver and refer to the ESC’s instructions for further set-up details. Center the steering and throttle trim adjustments.
Make sure all servos operate according to the movement of the transmitter controls. Turn off the switch harness or ESC, then the transmitter and be careful not to move
the servo output arms from their centered position during installation.
Completely un-wind and route the receiver antenna according to the model’s instructions. Do NOT cut the antenna or you may lose adequate operational range. If your
antenna is too long to route through your model, make an antenna shortener out of cardboard with the template. Keep the antenna away from moving parts and the power
wires in your model to avoid interference.
Steering: Move the steering control left and right. Be sure there is no binding and that the car’s steering controls move in the proper direction. If the steering wheel is
turned to the right but the car turns left, move the steering reversing switch to the “R” postion.
Throttle: Squeeze the throttle trigger. Be sure that your motor can reach full throttle (carburetor fully open on a gas engine). If the throttle servo moves in the wrong
direction, move the throttle reversing switch to the “R” position. With the trigger released, the carburetor should be open approximately 1/16” for idling. The car should brake
when the trigger is pushed away. Adjust the idle stop screw on the carburetor if the engine dies when the brake is applied (see the model’s instruction manual).
To set-up your electronic speed control to the transmitter, use your ESC’s instruction manual.
