Center position of the steering function With the trim button (TR2) for the steering function, the center position for the steering servo will be adjusted (ST). Press therefor the trim button (TR2) to either the left or right to set the value to 0.
11. Commissioning of the receiver a) Receiver connection The receiver provides connectivity for up to four servos (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) and a receiver battery (B/VCC). Always pay attention the correct polarity of the connector when you connect the servos. Plug contact for the pulse line should be on the inner (left) pin connected (depending on the manufacturer of yellow, white or orange).
Require in addition to the steering servo on receiver output "CH1" and the throttle servo/speed controller receiver output "CH2" can be connected additional a servo to receiver output "CH3". This servo takes at the push of a button functions on the transmitter. In an electric model with mechanical speed controller is for the power supply of the receiver a battery box or a separate receiver battery required.
d) Binding function Thus, the transmitter and receiver can communicate with each other, you need through the same digital code are bound together. When delivered, the transmitter and receiver already matched and can be used immediately. The renewal of the binding function is primarily required for a transmitter or receiver changes or to correct faults. If a new connection between the transmitter and receiver may be necessary, please proceed as follows: Unplug all servos from the receiver.
13. Testing the steering-,drive-, and shift function Place the model on a suitable base (wooden block or similar) to test the steering and handling functions. The wheels should rotate freely. a) Test the steering function For the testing turn on the transmitter and the receiver. If you did everything correctly connected and installed, the steering should respond to the rotary motion of the steering wheel. When the steering wheel is in the middle position, the wheels need to be aligned.
b) Test the drive function To accelerate the model you have to pull the throttle/brake trigger in the direction of the handle. To decelerate the model you have to push the throttle/ brake trigger in front of the handle. If the control direction exactly opposite to the direction of the transmitter control you can easily re-program. See therfor in the chapter "Selection of Menus" and then "reverse".

b) Reverse With this function, you can change the direction of servo rotation of all four channels (CH1 to CH4). Depending on the installation location and linkages in the model, it may be necessary to change the direction of rotation of the servo. Tap therfor the controller to change the servo direction of the desired channel from normal (NOR) to Reverse (REV).
c) End points Picture 13 This feature allows you to specify how large can the maximum allowable deflection for the steering, gas or auxiliary power is on each side. This function is normally used to protect the servos at full deflection before the mechanical abutment set in. You can use a value between 0 - 120%. The smaller the value, the smaller the servo travel on the relevant page. Set the value for the steering servo (CH1) On channel 1 (CH 1) you can set the maximum possible driving rash.
d) Subtrims Picture 14 This feature allows an individual adjustment of the center position of the driving and steering servo. A slight pull to the left of the model can be compensated/corrected with the help of trim. Thus the correct straight is ensured when the steering wheel is on the transmitter in the central position. Select therefor the parameter to change. Move the controller to the right or left to adjust the value according to your wishes.
e) Steering exponential This feature allows you to influence the steering sensitivity. Thereby the linear distance between the transmitter control and servo is changed in a non-linear (exponential) way. A fine control to the neutral position is possible. The maximum control path is not changed. „Exp.“: The setting value is -100% to 100%, wherein the value corresponding to 0% of the linear control. A change of the set always affects simultaneously on both sides of the servo rash.
g) Steering mix This function allows you to set four different steering modes on the model. „Front side“: Only the front wheel steering is controlled. „Rear side“: Only the rear wheel steering is controlled. „Same Phase“: Front and rear wheels are equal sorted controlled. „Rev. Phase“: Front and rear wheels are driven oppositely. Select the parameter to be changed to adjust the desired steering mode. Tap the button "back" in order to save the changes and return to the menu.
i) Throttle exponential This feature allows you to influence the sensitivity of the throttle/brake servos. Thereby the linear distance between the transmitter control and servo is changed in a non-linear (exponential) way. A fine control to the neutral position is possible. The maximum control path is not changed. „Exp.“: The adjustable value of this function is -100% to 100%, wherein the value corresponding to 0% of the linear control.
k) A.B.S. Picture 21 This feature allows the wheels from locking during braking by automatically pulsing (opening and closing the brakes) to prevent. Thus it is possible to retain the control over the model even during heavy braking. „Brake return“: This determines how far the brake is released with each impulse. At 100%, the brake opens completely and the brake servo returns after each pulse back to its neutral position. A value of 0% will be deactivate the "ABS function.
„Steering mix“: Here can be coupled the activation of the "ABS" on the steering angle. A positive value (N) is activated the "ABS" only, if they are within the range of steering to the neutral position. A negative value (E) is activated the "ABS" only, when the steering system is located outside the area around the neutral position. Select therefor the parameter to change. Move the controller to the right or left to adjust the value according to your wishes.
m) Throttle middle position This feature allows you to adjust the center servo horn between accelerator and brake operation. This may be necessary in particular when the servo-way between the gas and brake operation are not identical. Move the controller to the right or left to adjust the value according to your wishes.Tap the button "back" in order to save the changes and return to the menu. Picture 23 n) Throttle idle up This feature allows you to adjust the neutral position of throttle/brake servos.
o) Engine cut With this function, the position of the throttle/brake trigger from the radio control is ignored and the throttle/brake servo set to a predefined position. Select the button "Activate". Move the controller to the right or left to adjust the value according to your wishes. Select the button "activate" button to save the current value. Tap the button "back" in order to save the changes and return to the menu.
q) Brake mixing This feature allows you to control the brakes via two or three independent servos. Channels 3 (CH3), or 4 (CH4) can be used as the slave channels for throttle/brake servo, whereby only the brake function has an influence on the slave channels. After activating one of the two channels, can be adjusted for this channel the ABS and the exponential function of the individually throttle/brake servo. Select therefor the parameter to change.
Picture 29 „Master channel“: Here the master channel is selected. „Slave channel“: Here the slave channel is selected. „Low side mix“: Here the influence of the left master channel is mixed on the slave channel. A value of 50% shares of the impact on both channels. „High side mix“: Here the influence of the right master channel is mixed on the slave channel. A value of 50% shares of the impact on both channels. „Offset“: Here is an offset value is added to the slave channel.
s) Display servos This feature shows you in real time the position of all four servo arms. Using the "Test" button to investigating whether the mechanism in the model is working properly. Therefor the servo arms moved slowly between its end points back and forth. Picture 30 t) Race timer This feature allows the measurement of time in four different modes. Tap on the "Mode" to switch between the four different modes.
