Receiver Connection and Installation
Install the receiver using double-stick tape in the typical electric-powered model on the side opposite from the ESC.
Install the receiver using double-stick tape in the typical gas-powered model as far forward of the motor as possible.
Put the receiver antenna in an antenna tube and make sure the receiver’s antenna goes above the motor and other metal parts for
best reception of the transmitter signal.
ANTENNA ROTATION
RECEIVER INFORMATION
Turn and bend the antenna at its hinge to point the tip of the antenna away from the
model. The strongest signal of the transmitter comes from the shaft of the antenna,
not the tip.
WARNING:
Do not pick up the transmitter by the
antenna. Do not alter or put weight on the antenna.
Damage to antenna parts can decrease transmitter signal
strength, which can result in loss of model control, injury or
property damage.
Rubber Grip
This transmitter includes 3 sizes of grips and the medium-size grip is installed at the factory. Inside the grip is a letter showing size:
L for large, M for medium and S for small.
Remove the grip by lifting the edge of the grip and pulling the grip away from the handle. Install a grip by aligning grip tabs with
handle slots and pressing the grip in place.
