DO NOT use morethan 6.0 volts to power the receiver. Anything higherthan 6.0 volts will burn-up or destroy your receiver.Only use a 4.8~6.0 volt battery pack or a speedcontroller that is designed to lower the voltage tothe receiver. The following diagram shows a typicalconnection for the servos and receiver.Note that the receiver antenna should be located atleast 2” (50mm) away from any servo leads andswitches. In electric cars, we recommend that it beat least 4” (100mm) from the electric motor.Extend the receiver antenna to the full length. Failureto do so will cause loss of control. Do not cut or bend thereceiver antenna.Insulate the connectors with tape or use tie wraps toavoid contact with metal car chassis.Please follow the model manufactures recommendationsfor the correct installation of your radio system in yourcar or boat.SwitchTo BatteryTo Motor!CAUTIONWhen installing your MX-A radiosystem in your model, alwaysmake sure to set your model ona stand so the wheels are freefrom any traction before turningon your radio and or connectingyour motor for the first time.TRIGGER POSITION ADJUSTMENTThrottle Trigger SetScrewThrottle Trigger Position GaugeABThrottle Trigger Adjustment screwNOTE:Trigger Set Screw must beloosened before adjustingThe Throttle Trigger can be adjusted togive you a more natural feel of the throttle.To Adjust:1.
