Changing Frequencies/Channels
The Mini-DT radio operates on 27MHz AM and has 6 different frequencies/channels available. Simply put, a frequency
is like a TV channel. The transmitter you hold in your hand is like the TV station and the model with the matching
crystal is like your TV tuned exclusively to the channel of that station. The Mini-DT radio is equipped with changeable
crystals that allow you to change the frequency/channel you operate on. This is especially useful when you want to run
a group of Losi Mini-DT’s at the same time. When changing crystals/channels, you must always replace the crystals
as a matched set with one each going in both the transmitter and the receiver in the truck. Each of the 6 different
channels are numbered and color-coded. Each set includes a unique crystal for the receiver marked (Rx) and one
from the transmitter marked (Tx). The crystals are changed by gently pulling them out, then lining up the two pins of
each new crystal with its socket and carefully pushing them into place. DO NOT force them as damage can occur. If
they do not slide into the socket easily check for bent or misaligned pins.
