Safety These instructions are intended to asquaint you with the many unique feachures of the state of the art equipment. Please read them carefully so that you may obtain maximum success and enjoyment from its operation. SO REMEMBER: We ask that yo pay particular attention to the design of the transmitter. Notice that it has been human engineered for the most natrual and precise control of your choice of operating cars, tucks and boats. DISPLAY your frequancy flag and channel identification on the antenna of your transmitter. Be certain to read all the material in this manual. SAFETY FIRST FOR YOURSELF, FOR OTHERS AND FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT “SAFETY FIRST” is more than just a slogan when operating radio controlled models. FOR YOUR SAFETY: AT THE TRACK, LAKE or anywhere other people are using radio control equipment that you DO NOT turn on your transmitter untill you know your frequance is clear. You must NOT TURN ON YOUR TRANSMITTER when someone else is using the same frequancy your transmitter is on. Only one person can use a given frequancy at one time. Observe all the rules at the field or track you are at. FREQUANCY IDENTIFICATION AND DISPLAY SYSTEM The Federal Communications (F.C.C.) specifies radio frequancies in MHz units. For convenience, the frequancies are designed by CHANNEL numbers and or by colored flags. Numbered channel markers on the transmitter identify the specific channel. A yellow wind streamer identifis a 75 MHz transmitter. This equipment has been designed for 27 or 75 MHz only and can only be used for surface use and can not be used for any aircraft use at all. WARING: The 75 MHz frequancies allocated for model radio control use are exclusive; however, they are in close proximity to other types of radio usage in certain areas. Before operating your model, check with the FCC regional office in your area to determine wheather there is a potential danger or interference from other radio users. The FCC offices are usually listed in your telephone directory under the section designated to United States Government Offices. When dealing with the FCC, you should state the type of activity you are involved in (i.e., radio control of model boats or cars) and inquire if there are any commerical RF transmitters on or close to your frequancy in Megahertz (MHz). Do not use R/C channel numbers since the FCC will not be able to correlate them with actual frequancy. “Outside” radio interferance may cause you to lose control of your model, possibly resulting in injury to yourself or others, or property. Page DO NOT OPERATE your transmitter at the track or lake, untill you are certain your frequancy is clear. REMENBER that flags do not usually state the frequancy on them and sometimes the colors are hard to distingguish. If you have an eyesight limitation or defect such as color blindness, double check the frequancy flag designations with someone else. TURN YOUR TRANSMITTER ON ONLY IF YOUR FREQUANCY IS CLEAR. WARING: your model will go out of control and may cause some series injury or damage if someone else turns on a transmitter on your frequancy while you are operating your model. RESPECT ALL THE RULES of the operating site. AT ANY TIME during the operation of your model, should you sense, feel or observe any erratic operation or abnormality, end your operation as quickly and safely as possible. DO NOT operate again until you are certain the problem has been corrected. TAKE NO CHANCES.

Operation Timer in BATT screen Page 12 Operation Timer on all the time. Dual Rate Steering Page F1 (D-RATE) Dual Rate is used to change the amount of servo movement compared to the amount of movement with the steering wheel. Increasing the amount of dual rate will make the steering more sensitive or feel faster and decreasing the dual rate will make the steering more insensitive or feel slower. When setting up a new car or truck, follow the directions below to properly setup your steering dual rate. 1. Set the digital steering trim to “0” by using (Trm 1). You can see when the trim reaches center by viewing one or both screens. Steering trim factory default location: (Trm 1) 2. Press the function select key to move the cursor to (D-RATE). As you move the steering wheel from side to side, you can set the bar graph move to the dual rate limit lines. Default setting is 100%. Adjust the dual rate by pressing the INC+ or DEC- keys to increase or decrease dual rate amount. At this time, set the dual rate to 125%. This will increase the servo movement my 25% in both left and right directions. NOTE: Pressing both the INC and DEC keys together will set the dual rate to the default setting of 100%. 3. Attach the steering linkage to the servo arm as the car manufacturer recommends. Be sure to have all steering linkage, trim and servo arm as close to center as possible. Doing so will cut out a lot of steering problems later. Now move the steering wheel left and right to full. If your steering binds at both ends, this means you have to much movement coming from the servo. Use the dual rate to reduce or increase the amont of steerings to reach the steering stops. Trm 4 (top) 4. After the dual rate has been set, adjust the independent left and right end points using the EPA feature. Page 13 End Point Adjustment Page F1 (EPA) End point adjustment is used to adjust the proper amount of servo movement on the model’s steering angle to steer left and right and/or adjust the carburetor throttle arm stroke, the high point of an ESC and brake stroke. While the M11 is set for 4 channels, this EPA function is also adjustable for 3rd BRAKE or AUX Channel) and for 4th channel of brake. [ST] Steering End Point Adjustment A model’s turning radius can differ from left to right because of variations in linkage, suspension balance, tire diameter or weight distribution of the vehicle. In such cases, the left and right servo steering angle is adjustable. 1. Before making the end point adjustment, you must set the servo to the neutral position. To find the center position, adjust the servo horn to approximately center position, and then make fine adjustments using the sub-trim. 2. Next, press the function select key and move the cursor to [ST] in EPA. 3. To set the steering end point on the right side, turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and depress the Inc.+ or Dec.- key. To set the left steering end point, do the same with the steering wheel turned fully counterclockwise. Setting range 0% to 150% Default setting 100% IMPORTANT Note: Setting the steering dual rate and steering end points excessively high may cause a dead point on the servo, resulting in improper operation. Page 14 [TH] Throttle End Point Adjustment Throttle end point adjustment is used to adjust the carburetor stroke, high point of an ESC, or the brake stroke. 1. Press the function select key and move the cursor to [TH] in EPA. 2.

To adjust the brake side, push the throttle trigger all the way to the brake side and adjust by pressing the Inc.+ or Dec.- key. With an ESC, the high side and brake side are both ordinarily set to 100% and then the high point and brake point are set on the ESC. (Setting procedures may vary depending on the type of ESC.) Setting range 0% to 140% Brake side 0% to 160% Standard setting 100% 3. Test run your vehicle to arrange the brake adjustment by using TRM5 switch on the grip. You can vary the setting at EPA-B by adjusting with TRM5. While the M11 is set for 4 channels, setting value may vary at the same time. Trm 5 (bottom) NOTE With gas-powered model linkage, if the linkage stroke is set too wide, the servo may lock up. This results in fatal damage and may cause the vehicle to runaway. TIP Brake adjustment TR5 switch can be assignable with other trim switches. Page 15 With 4-channel setting [3ch] AUX End Point Adjustment ( with 3ch - BRAKE INH ) NOTE: I order to set any functions for AUX 3 and AUX 4, you must first set the channel setting from 2 to 4 channel. To change from 2 to 4 channel, go to the F3 page on the transmitter, move the function menu cursor to SET-Up and change the channel number in the programming area on the transmitter screen. The AUX channel can be used for functions such as needle control or for other uses. The end point adjustment allows fine adjustment of the maximum servo travel. Further, the high end point and low end point can be set independently, which provides great flexibility of adjustment. 1. Be sure that channel 4 is selected in the set-up menu and that 3CH-BRAKE is set to INH in the BR-MIX menu. It is essential to set the M11 as “4channel” in order to use these functions. 2. Press the function select key and move the cursor to [3ch] in EPA. 3. To select the low side AUX setting, turn the dial counterclockwise and depress the Inc.+ or Dec.- key.

[3ch] 3CH-BRAKE End Point Adjustment ( with 3ch - BRAKE ACT ) When using 3rd channel as the additional BRAKE channel, the end point adjustment can be separately set from the other BRAKE channel. 1. Make sure that the channel 4 is selected in the set-up menu and that 3CHBRAKE is set to ACT in the BR-MIX menu. It is essential to set this function in order to activate this set up menu. 2. Press the function select key and move the cursor to [3ch] in EPA. 3. Push the throttle trigger all the way to the brake side and then adjust by pressing the Inc.+ or Dec.- key. Setting range 0% to 160% Standard setting 100% 4. If it is necessary to arrange the EPA brake adjustment during the operation of the vehicle, use trimmer TRM5 on the grip. IMPORTANT * Since this channel is exclusively for braking purpose, setting of EPA covers only at the BRAKE side. Page 16 [4ch] 4CH - BRAKE End Point Adjustment The 4th channel is exclusively for braking purpose only. When using the 4th channel as the additional BRAKE channel, end point adjustment can be separately set from the other BRAKE channel. 1. Be sure that the channel 4 is selected in the set-up menu. It is essential to set this function in order to activate this set up menu. 2. Press the function select key and move the cursor to [4ch] in EPA. Push the throttle trigger all the way to the brake side and then adjust by pressing the Inc.+ or Dec.- key. Setting range 0% to 160% Standard setting 100% 3. If it is necessary to arrange the EPA brake adjustment, during the operation of the vehicle, use trimmer TRM5 on the grip. IMPORTANT Since this channel is exclusively for braking purpose, setting of EPA covers only at the BRAKE side. TIP Balance bar graph The bar graph appearing at the bottom of the screen is useful when setting the brake on more than two channels. The graph indicates the center position of two EPA values. Use it as a guide to finding a good brake balance. The lower triangles in the graph indicate the respective EPA values. When 3CH-BRAKE is set to ACT, the ENTER key switches the balance display between TH-3CH and 3CH-4CH. When 3CHBRAKE is set to INH, the bar graph shows only the TH-4CH balance.
