■ Recharging NiCad Batteries The LYNX is equipped with an external charging jack so there is no need to remove the battery pack from the transmitter. The Hitec CG-22 or 25A are made to charge these types of batteries overnight or the approximately 12-15 hours. Please refer to the following diagram, check to see that the charge light lights up after the connection is complete.
■ Changing X-tals Changing the x-tal to void conflicts with other vehicles is possible where permitted. (You must check your local rules before doing so. For example, in the US, the FCC prohibits the changing of transmitter x-tals on 72 and 75MHz). If you are eligible to change the x-tals, both the transmitter and receiver x-tals must be changed together. You must change within the same band, i.e.
■ Connection with Electr onic Speed Contr ol Electronic Control Electronic Speed Controls such as the Hitec HFX have a built in B.E.C. system inside the speed control circuit. (Please verify whether your ESC has a built in B.E.C. circuit.) Plug the receiver connector from the speed control into the “THROTTLE” or #2 channel on the receiver, and the steering servo into the “STEERING” or #1 channel on the receiver.
✷ Check to see if the servos are moving in the correct direction. If not, change the position of the servo-reversing switch located on the top of the transmitter to achieve the correct direction. ✷ If everything checks out then turn the receiver “OFF” first then the transmitter. (Always remember; never have the receiver “ON” without the transmitter also being “ON”).
- Steer ing Ra te Adjustment (S .R.A.) Steering Rate (S.R.A.) Dual rates for the steering servo can adjusted via the thumbscrew on the pistol grip. This adjustment is critical for racers fine-tuning their cars handling “On the Fly”. The rate can be selected from 40% - 100%. If your car is loose or “Oversteering”, dial the adjustment back. If your car is pushing or “Understeering”, then dial the adjustment forward. This adjustment is a must for setting up your car to perform at its best.

If the vehicle does not move forward when the trigger is pulled and does when the trigger is pushed, check the motor connection first. If that is correct then switch the throttle reversing switch to the opposite direction.
