E-flite Mini ShowTime ARF Assembly Manual
Required Radio Equipment
You will need a minimum 6-channel transmitter (for proper
mixing and dual rate capabilities), crystals, micro receiver, and
four sub-micro servos. You can choose to purchase a complete
radio system that includes all of these items or, if you are using
an existing transmitter, just purchase the other required equipment
separately. We recommend the crystal-free, interference-free
Spektrum
™
DX7 2.4GHz DSM2
™
7-channel Microlite system,
which includes a micro receiver and 3 sub-micro S285 servos.
If using your own transmitter, we recommend the use of a JR
SPORT
™
6-channel UltraLite receiver and E-flite
®
S75 Sub-Micro
servos.
If you already own the Spektrum DX7 radio, just add the AR6100
DSM2
®
6-channel receiver and four of our E-flite S75 Sub-Micro
servos (EFLRS75).

Notes Regarding Servos and ESC
WARNING
: Use of servos other than those we recommend may
overload the BEC of the recommended Electronic Speed Control
(ESC). We suggest the use of only the servos we recommend
when utilizing the recommended ESC’s BEC, or the use of a
separate BEC (like the UBEC) or receiver battery pack when
using other servos.
