For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others
Warning
Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited.
Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may
occur.
Do not operate in the following places.
-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.
-Near people or roads.
-On any pond when passenger boats are present.
-Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.
Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in
serious injury.
Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs.
Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as
others.
Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat
while the model is operating or immediately after its use.
These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.
Always perform an operating range check prior to use.
Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control.
(Simple range test method)
Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with any ob-
ject. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should you notice
any abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the model in use.
Turning on the power switches.
Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position.
1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.
2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch.
Turning off the power switches
Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped.
1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very
dangerous situation.
When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor discon-
nected.
You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.
Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.
Check Method; Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:
1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.
2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail safe
data to the receiver every minute.)
3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.
The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when
reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was used
to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.
Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others
(Only when NiMH/NiCd /LiFe batteries are used)
NiMH / NiCd / LiFe Battery Handling Precautions
Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage.
Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire.
Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet.
You may get an electric shock.
Do not use the T4PV transmitter's battery as the receiver's battery.
Since the transmitter's battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current
load is applied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash.
Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model.
Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation.
To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose.
Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many
other types of injuries.
Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries.
Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder.
Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.
Do not drop the battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations.
The battery may short circuit and overheat; electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.
When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery.
Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power
switch. Loss of control could occur.
Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.
Storage And Disposal Precautions
Warning
Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. NiCd batteries can
be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
Do not throw NiMH/NiCd/LiFe batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also
do not disassemble or modify a battery pack.
Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other in-
juries.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others
When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with NiMH/NiCd batteries
in a discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used.
If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the NiMH/NiCd battery may
considerably reduce the capacity . A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the rec-
ommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)
When a LiFe battery pack will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we rec-
ommend that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also be careful
that the battery does not enter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.
Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery.
<NiMH/NiCd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in NiCd/NiMH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in
your eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause
blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.
Do not store your R/C system in the following places.
- Where it is extremely hot or cold.
- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Where the humidity is high.
- Where vibration is prevalent.
- Where dust is prevalent.
- Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous problems with operation.
If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the transmitter
and model and store in a cool, dry place.
If the batteries are left in the transmitter, electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to the model also.
Remove the batteries from it also to prevent damage.
Caution
Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.
The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed controls),
NiMH/NiCd/LiFe batteries and other optional accessories.
Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba parts. Use the parts specified
in the instruction manual and catalog.
Other Precautions
<NiMH/NiCd/LiFe Battery Recycling>
A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.

Before Using
-Telemetry system
The T4PV transmitter has adopted the newly developed bidirectional communication system "T-
FHSS".
-2.4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication system
Frequency channel setting is unnecessary: Channel shifting takes place within the 2.4GHz band
automatically. This system minimizes the interference from other 2.4GHz systems.
-Display switch
Display switch allows function setup without transmitting.
-Model memory for 40 models
Model names can use up to 10 letters, numbers, and symbols, so that logical names may be used.
A model memory with different setups can be created by using the model copy function.
-4 axis Jog button.
The (JOG) button can be operated in 4 directions: up, down, left, and right.
-ESC-Link function (MC-LINK)
This dedicated function allows you set up the Link software so that your T4PV can control vari-
able frequency and other data changes in Futaba speed controllers (ESCs): MC950CR, MC850C,
MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, etc.
-S.BUS servo
This is a special function that allows setting of the parameters of our S.BUS servo whose set-
tings are changed by using PC Link software.
-Steering mixing
Smooth cornering is possible by independent left and right steering servo setting.
-Brake mixing for large cars (BRAKE)
Brake mixing of the front and rear wheels of 1/5 GP and other large cars can be adjusted inde-
pendently.
-Gyro mixing (GYRO MIX)
The sensitivity of Futaba car rate gyros can be adjusted from the T4PV.
-4WS mixing for crawlers and other 4WS type (4WS)

steering and throttle operation by switch only.
-Anti-skid braking system (TH A.B.S)
This function applies the brakes so that the tires of GP cars, etc. do not lose their grip on the
road even when braking at corners.
-Throttle acceleration (ACCEL)
GP cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes become effective.
The throttle acceleration function reduces this time lag.
-Throttle speed (SPEED)
Sudden trigger operation on a slippery road surface will only cause the tires to spin and the
model to not accelerate smoothly. By setting the throttle speed function, operation can be per-
formed smoothly and easily. It also suppresses battery consumption.
-Steering speed (SPEED)
When you sense that the steering servo is too fast, etc., the servo operating speed (direction that
suppresses the maximum speed) can be adjusted.
-Racing timer (TIMER)
The lap timer can record 100 lap times and total time. The timer can also be started automati-
cally by trigger operation. The race time and audible alarm can be set.
Re-/fueling time are indicated by an audible alarm. An up timer is also provided.
-Function select switch (SWITCH)/ dial function (TRIM DIAL)
This assigns functions to 2 switches and dials (digital trim, digital dial). The step amount and
operating direction can also be adjusted. Trim positioning at each model call is unnecessary
because all the dials are digital.
-Trigger position can be changed
The position of the throttle trigger can be moved forward and backward.
-Tension adjustment function
The tension of the steering wheel throttle trigger springs can be adjusted from the outside.
-Mechanical ATL Adjustment
Make this adjustment when you want to decrease the total travel of the brake (push) side of the
throttle trigger.

ing it in the direction of the arrow in the figure.
2Remove the used batteries.
Caution
If you remove the dry cell battery box from the trans-
mitter, replace it carefully with the wiring on the
same side as before. Reinstalling the battery box in
the opposite direction could cause the wires to be
disconnected.
3Load the new AA size batteries. Pay very close atten-
tion to the polarity markings and reinsert accordingly.
4Slide the battery cover back onto the case.

Disposal of the Dry Cell Batteries:
The method to dispose of used dry cell batteries de-
pends on the area in which you reside. Dispose of
the batteries in accordance with the regulations for
your area.
Caution
Never try to recharge a dry cell battery.
The transmitter may be damaged or the battery electrolyte may leak or the battery may break.
Insert the batteries in the correct polarity.
If the polarity is incorrect, the transmitter may be damaged.
When the transmitter is not in use, remove the batteries.
If the battery electrolyte leaks, wipe off the case and contacts.
Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries.
Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery
holder.
Low Battery Alarm
If the transmitter battery voltage drops below the usable range, an audible alarm will sound
and "" mark will be displayed on the LCD screen. (For details, see page 130.) Because
the low battery alarm voltage of a dry cell battery is different from that of a rechargeable
battery pack (genuine Futaba option), the type of power source used must be selected using
the system setting (page 123).
Warning
When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immediately and retrieve the model.
If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose control of the model.

this charge.
Charge the optional FT2F1700B/2100B (LiFe)
battery with the special charger in accordance
with the instruction manual supplied.
When the LiFe battery will not be used for a long
time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recom-
mend that it be kept in about the half capacity
state instead of fully charged. Also be careful
that the battery does not enter the overdischarged
state due to self-discharge. Periodically (about
every 3 months) charge the battery. In addition,
always remove the battery from the model and
store it in a dry, cool place (15°C 25°C).

About The Transmitter Antenna
Please do not grasp the transmitter's antenna while driving.
Doing so may degrade the quality of the RF transmission to the model.
The antenna position can be changed in the range as shown in fi gure. However, please do not ap-
ply unnecessary force or shock.
The internal cable may be damaged; thus transmitting distance decreases and it may cause malfunction.
About Transmitter Antenna and Receiver
A small glitch may occur if the transmitter antenna is brought close to servos, ESCs or
other peripheral devices. This is not a serious issue, but keep it in mind (especially dur-
ing setup).
If the antenna is set to the 90˚
vertical position, the range of
the radio waves may be great-
er than in the horizontal posi-
tion. (Different depending on
the conditions.)

Connector Connections
Servo Installation
Be sure the receiver, servo, battery and connectors are fully and firmly connected.
If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control.
When you install the servos, always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags.
Mount the servos so they do not come in contact directly with the mount.
If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo.
If this condition continues for a long time, the servo may be damaged and control will be lost.
Servo Throw
Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is not loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain.

Installation
Electronic Speed Control
Motor Noise Suppression
Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other
parts that conduct electricity.
If the ESC (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could occur.
This could result in loss of control and damage to the system.
Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used.
If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of con-
trol.
Other Noise Suppression Methods
Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with
other metal parts.
Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You
could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.

Receiver Type Check (RX MODE)
This mode sets the RX type of the transmitter to match the receiver and servos used.
The T4PV transmitter uses the telemetry type T-FHSS ("TFH") system.
It can also use the conventional S-FHSS ("SFH") system. Because the R304SB receiver sup-
plied with the T4PV uses the telemetry type T-FHSS ("TFH") system, its RX type must be
set to the T-FHSS high speed mode ("TFH-HI") or the T-FHSS normal mode ("TFH-NR").
Never use analog servos when the RX type was set to the T-FHSS ("TFH") 2.4GHz system
high speed mode "TFH-HI" or the S-FHSS ("SFH") high speed mode "SFH-HI". The servos
may be damaged. For example, if analog servos are used with a telemetry type T-FHSS re-
ceiver (R304SB, etc.), the RX type must be set to "TFH-NR", and if analog servos are used
with an S-FHSS receiver (R2104GF, R204FG-E, etc.), the RX type must be set to S-FHSS
("SFH-NR") system normal mode system. When using digital servos (including BLS Series
brushless servos), any RX type can be used.

Initial Set-Up
*When using an S-FHSS(SFH) system (R2104GF, R204GF-E, etc.) receiver, after reach-
ing this point set the transmitter power switch to OFF and go to "Receivers other than T-
FHSS" on page 36.
3Bring the transmitter and receiver to within 50cm of each other (do not allow the antennae
to touch) and turn on the receiver power.
4Press the T4PV transmitter’s (JOG) button up or down to move the cursor to "LINK: EXE".
When the (JOG) button is pressed for approximately 1 second, "PUSH RX LINK SW" ap-
pears on the screen and a 20 second
countdown begins. Countdown can
be canceled at any time pressing the
(JOG) button up/down or left/right.
5During the 20 second countdown, push up the receiver side tact switch for approximately 2
seconds. The LED will begin to
blink red. After the receiver LED
switches from blinking red to
green - red - green steady light,
the T4PV generates an electronic
beeping sound, and "LINK:OK"
and "COMPLETE!" appear on
the screen. Reading of the mu-
tual IDs ends and the memorized
receiver ID number appears on
T4PV screen. If an error screen
appears, linking failed. Retry linking. If the transmitter and receiver are linked normally, set
the power switch to the OFF position and then return it to the PWR ON position. If the re-
ceiver LED lights green, linking was successful. Now check servo operation.
*The T4PV and a telemetry type T-FHSS receiver (R304SB, etc.) mutually memorize the
combined ID linked last at each model memory.
Since the T4PV can memorize only 1 receiver ID at each model memory, multiple T-FHSS
receivers cannot be used with the same model memory. When changing the receiver at the
same model memory, re-link the previously linked receiver.
When using multiple telemetry type T-FHSS receivers, link and combine them with each
T4PV model memory.
However, multiple receivers cannot be linked to multiple model memories.
The telemetry function communications status can be checked at the HOME screen.

Initial Set-Up
Receivers Other Than T-FHSS
1Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other,
within 20 inches (half meter).
2Turn on the transmitter.
3Turn on the receiver.
4Push the tactile switch of the receiver.
When the link is complete, the LED in the receiver changes
to solid green.
Precaution:
If there are many Futaba 2.4GHz systems (T-FHSS/ S-FHSS) turned on in close proximity to your receiver might
not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver’s LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver
might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation.
In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to double-check whether your receiver is really under
control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.
*Please refer to the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition.
LED status vs receiver’s condition:
Warning
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is re-
ally under the control of your transmitter.
Do not perform the linking procedure with motor’s main wire connected or the engine operating
as it may result in serious injury.
The telemetry ON/OFF and communication status can be checked at the HOME screen.

Warning
End Point Adjuster "END POINT" (All channel)
Use this when performing left and right end point adjustments, throttle high side/brake
side operation amount adjustment, or channel 3 and channel 4 servo up side/down side
operation amount adjustment during linkage.
- Correct the maximum steering angle for left and right steering angles when there is a
difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics of the vehicle.
The EPA function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each channel.
The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by EPA
function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the following functions are adjust-
ed.
- Sub trim (all channels).................................. P51
- Program mixing slave side (all channels) .....P78
- Idle up (throttle) ............................................P89
- Throttle off, Engine Cut (throttle)................. P91
- Throttle acceleration (throttle) ......................P63
Maximum steering angle
ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation.
Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle EPA, ATL trim must also be
taken into account.
ATL trim
End Point Adjuster "END POINT"
Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure
the linkage does not bind or is not loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may
cause damage and excessive battery drain.
Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is ful-
ly open, fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully.
If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running,
adjust the suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the
servo travel is increased while running.
Adjust the steering servo so that unreason-
able force is not applied to the servo by the
chassis at maximum servo travel.
Decide the EPA value at the
contact point.
Caution!
A whining noise indicates that the
steering servo is improperly set.

ceiver power is turned on next and the data is transferred for approximately 10 seconds after the receiver power is turned on.
-For GP cars, for safety we recommend that this fail safe function be used to set the throttle channel in the direction in which
the brakes are applied.
Hold mode (HOLD)
This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost. It is
the T-FHSS type (R304SB...etc) and the S-FHSS type (R2104GF...etc) receiver only func-
tion.
Off mode (OFF)
This function stops output of signals to the servos and places the servos into the free state
when the receiver cannot receive.
The F/S, HOLD, and OFF modes are automatically reset when signals from the transmitter
can be received again.
Battery fail safe function (B-FS)
If the receiver battery voltage drops below a certain value when this function is enabled, the
throttle servo moves to the position set by fail safe function. When the battery voltage re-
covers, the battery fail safe function is automatically reset.
-This function cannot be used when the throttle (TH) is not set to fail safe (F/S).

Throttle Acceleration "TH ACCEL" (Throttle system)
The servo will jump to the input position at its maximum possible speed. Unlike exponen-
tial, which adjusts the whole throttle movement into a curve, throttle acceleration simply
"jumps" away from neutral and then leaves the remaining response linear.

Clearance
For nitro powered cars, the linkage must have a
clearance because one servo controls the engine
carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable
time delay at both the forward and brake sides.

the transmitter side.

turns versus trigger operation for
brake release. When set to 0 , the
ABS function is not performed.
When set to 50 , the servo returns
50 (1/2) of the trigger operation
amount and when set to 100 , the
servo returns to the neutral posi-
tion.
A.B.S. Function "TH A.B.S"
- When the brakes are applied, the throttle servo will pulse
intermittently. This will have the same effect as pumping the
brakes in a full size car.
- The brake return amount, delay amount, pulse cycle, and
brake duty can be adjusted.
Operation
A.B.S. Function "TH A.B.S" (Throttle system)
When the brakes are applied while cornering with a 4 Wheel Drive or
other type of vehicle, understeer may occur. Understeer can be elimi-
nated and corners can be smoothly cleared by using this function.
During ABS operation, the LED blinks.

Function
S.BUS Link Function "SX LINK"
This is a special function which allows Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo parameter changes
to be set by the T4PV transmitter.
However, some data changes require a PC and S-Link software.
This function is used by connecting Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos directly to the trans-
mitter.
Use the various optional servo extension cords according to the distance between the
transmitter and servo.
-When the T4PV battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display. Therefore, use this function when there is am-
ple battery capacity remaining.
-Also connect the corresponding battery to the servo side.

This function writes the servo setting data set at the factory to
the connected servo. Perform "READ" before performing initial-
ization.
Select the setting item "MODE" by moving the (JOG) button

The servo ID
The item indicated by the
reverse displayed cursor
is selected.
ID
Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot
be changed.
SMOT (Smoother)
This function makes servo operation smooth. Set it according to your
taste. Normally set it to "ACT". Set it to "INH" when you want especially
quick operation. When the smoother function is set to "ACT" and the servo
is operated, the distance up to the target position is changed in steps so
movement is smooth.
DEAD (Dead band)
The dead band angle at stopping can be specifi ed.
[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]
Small - Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated
by a small signal change.
Large - Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small
signal changes.
(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continu-
ously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo
will be shortened.
DAMP (Damper)
The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.
When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger
than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position.
Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depend-
ing on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band,
Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.
[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]
Small - When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.
Large - When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has
worsened.
(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be
shortened.

CHAN (Channel)
This is the S.BUS system channel assigned to the servo. When connected
to the receiver S.BUS2 connector as an S.BUS system, the channel used
by the transmitter is assigned. When the normal receiver channel is used,
channel setting is unnecessary.
NEUT (Neutral)
The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large val-
ue, the servo’s range of travel is restricted on one side.
EPAL (Travel-left side)
The maximum left travels centered about the neutral position can be set
independently.
EPAR (Travel-right side)
The maximum right travels centered about the neutral position can be set
independently.
REVE (Reverse)
The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.
STRE (Stretcher)
The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to
return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has
deviated from the target position can be adjusted.
This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic
changes as shown below.
[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]
Small - Servo holding force becomes weaker.
Large - Servo holding force becomes stronger.
(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.
BSTM (Boost/-N/OFF)
OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.
(In the case of usual)
ON : It is always the boost ON. (When quick operation is hope).
BOST (Boost)
The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo
can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels
like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started
by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.
[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]
Small - Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth.
Large - Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if
the torque is too large, operation will become rough.

This function is used by connecting the ESC directly to the transmitter. The T4PV
power switch is used at the display side. Use the various optional servo extension cords
according to the distance between the transmitter and ESC. The last data read from
ESC to T4PV or the last data written from T4PV to ESC is saved to the T4PV. Since the
data for each model memory can be saved, the data of up to 40 models can be saved.
-When the T4PV battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display. Therefore, use this function when there is am-
ple battery capacity remaining.
-Also connect the battery at the ESC side.

Function
MIn-(PWM FREC MIN LD) 100Hz~10000Hz (10kHz)
MC950CR:500Hz~30000Hz (30kHz)
Same as Link software PWM frequency (at Min. load).
MIn sets the "0"A PWM frequency at minimum load.
MAX-(PWM FREC MAX LD) 100Hz~10000Hz (10kHz)
MC950CR:500Hz~30000Hz (30kHz)
Same as Link software PWM frequency (at Max. load).
MAX sets the PWM frequency at maximum load at the output cur-
rent limit value set by Current Limiter.
CLM-(CURRENT LIMIT) 50A~300A (MC950CR:50A~300A), OFF Same as Link software Current Limiter.
Current Limiter sets the current value at maximum load here.
Since setting of the MAX is based on the output current limit value set by Current Limiter, Current Limiter does not
have to be turned OFF except when a current exceeding 300A is generated.
BRK-(PWM FREC BRK LD) nOR(2000Hz)/ HIG(1000Hz)/ SPH(500Hz)
MC950CR:500Hz~30000Hz (30kHz)
Same as Link software Brake PWM at frequency.
This setting can set the brake PWM frequency.
"MIn", which sets the frequency when the load is small, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when extension is desired after
straightaways and curves.
"MAX", which sets the frequency when the load is large, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when you want to suppress the
rise from low speed and when motor heating and commutator roughness are sensed.
When the rise from low speed is poor, and becomes bad even when "MAX" is set to the low frequency side, use the log data to check if
there was a momentary voltage drop. When you want to suppress the overall power, lengthen the run time, and otherwise improve effi -
ciency, set both "MAX" and "MIn" to the high frequency side. When you want to set a fi xed PWM frequency at full range regardless of the
load current, set PWM frequency (at Max. load) and PWM frequency (at Min. load) to the same value.
nTB-(NEUTRAL BRAKE) 0%(OFF)~100%
Same as Link software Neutral Brake.
Make this setting when you want to use the brakes at the neutral throttle (OFF) position by throttle operation. The
larger this value, the greater the braking force. When you want to use the neutral brake, set this value to "0%".

Function
LBP-(LOW BATTERY VOLT) 2.5V~6V
2.5V~7.5V for MC950CR
Same as Link software Low Bat Protection.
This setting cuts off the output to the motor when
the running battery voltage drops to the set volt-
age to prevent the receiver from stopping operation
when the supply of voltage to the receiver becomes
insuffi cient while running due to a drop in the power
supply voltage. When the power supply voltage re-
covers, power is supplied to the motor once more.
CTM-(C.L. TIME LIMIT) 50A~300A /CLT-(C.L. TIMER) 0sec(OFF)~240sec
(except MC950CR)
Same as Link software Current Limiter (Time Limit)/Current Limit timer.
The output current can be limited up to the set time lapse from the start of run-
ning. This is effective in preventing the motor from outputting wasted energy
when the voltage is high immediately after the power battery was recharged.
- "CTM" (Time Limit) sets the maximum output current within the time the out-
put current is limited.
- "CLT" sets the time the output current is limited. This function is disabled
when set to "0" sec.
Since the Current Limit Timer starts when the throttle is operated to the for-
ward side and current is output to the motor, this function begins to operate
when the motor is run during trim adjustment, etc.
BMD-(BRAKE MAX DUTY) 0%~100%
Same as Link software Brake Max. Duty.
This setting can set the braking force between the neutral point and Max
brake point. The larger this value, the greater the braking force. When set to
"0%", the brakes are not effective.
RMD-(REVERSE MAX DUTY) w/back only 0%~100%
Same as Link software Reverse Max. Duty.
This setting can set the reverse power between the neutral point and Max
reverse point. The larger this value, the greater the reverse power. When set
to "0%", the reverses are not effective.

MC950CR only setup item REV-(REV CANCEL) BRk /REV Same as Link software Reverse Cancel.
When set to BRk, reverse operation is not performed.
LA-(LEAD ANGLE) 0~1500 Same as Link software Lead Angle.
The lead angle of the motor can be set at the MC950CR side. However, we recommend that it
normally be set to "0". Since this setting is premised on setting by referring to the speed log by
the Link software, independent use of the MC LINK function of the T4PV is recommended.

BRK-(PWM FREC BRK LD) 1kHz(1000Hz)~30kHz (30000Hz)
Same as Link software Brake PWM at frequency.
This setting can set the brake PWM frequency.
nTB-(NEUTRAL BRAKE) 0%(OFF)~100%
Same as Link software Neutral Brake.
Make this setting when you want to use the brakes at the neutral throttle (OFF) position by throttle operation. The
larger this value, the greater the braking force. When you want to use the neutral brake, set this value to "0%".

ESC Link Function "MC LINK"
"Min", which sets the frequency when the load is small, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when extension is desired after
straightaways and curves.
"MAX", which sets the frequency when the load is large, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when you want to suppress the
rise from low speed and when motor heating and commutator roughness are sensed.
When the rise from low speed is poor, and becomes bad even when "MAX" is set to the low frequency side, use the log data to check if
there was a momentary voltage drop. When you want to suppress the overall power, lengthen the run time, and otherwise improve effi -
ciency, set both "MAX" and "MIn" to the high frequency side. When you want to set a fi xed PWM frequency at full range regardless of the
load current, set PWM frequency (at Max. load) and PWM frequency (at Min. load) to the same value.
LBP-(LOW BATTERY VOLT) 2.5V~7.5V
Same as Link software Low Bat Protection.
This setting cuts off the output to the motor when the running battery voltage drops to the set voltage to pre-
vent the receiver from stopping operation when the supply of voltage to the receiver becomes insuffi cient
while running due to a drop in the power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage recovers, power is
supplied to the motor once more.

This sets the range (neutral point range) over which the
ESC does not respond to transmitter throttle operation.
The larger the set value, the wider this range.

BMD-(BRAKE MAX DUTY) 0%~100%
Same as Link software Brake Max. Duty.
This setting can set the braking force between the neutral point and Max
brake point. The larger this value, the greater the braking force. When set
to "0%", the brakes are not effective.
RMD-(REVERSE MAX DUTY) w/back only 0%~100%
Same as Link software Reverse Max. Duty.
This setting can set the reverse power between the neutral point and Max
reverse point. The larger this value, the greater the reverse power. When
set to "0%", the reverses are not effective.
BKS-(BRAKE SLOPE) 0~300 (Only when used TBM-LEV2)
Same as Link software Brake Slope.
This function adjusts the braking effect when the throttle
was returned (throttle off). It cancels operation like that
called engine brake of actual vehicles.
BEC-(BEC VOLT)
6.0V /7.4V
Same as Link software BEC Volt.
The receiver BEC voltage can be selected from 6.0V and
7.4V. Match the voltage to the rating of the servo connect-
ed to the same receiver. This BEC voltage cannot output a
voltage higher than the input voltage.

TBM-(TURBO MODE)
OFF /LV1 /LV2
Same as Link software Turbo Mode.
This function sets the turbo mode. More power can be displayed by using the turbo mode. Depending on the
setting, the motor and ESC may be damaged so make this setting carefully.
(Note) When LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) is off, lead angle setting will not operate even if set to LEV1 or LEV2.
(Turbo mode disabled, TBM=OFF)
OFF mode: (No Lead Angle mode) Lead angle - No
When used in races in which the lead angle setting function is inhibited by ESC, set to this mode. The lead
angle function is disabled the same as if LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) was turned off.
When the lead angle function was disabled by the method described above, the MC960CR shows that the
lead angle function is off by blinking a blue LED at an ON 0.1 second, OFF 0.9 second cycle at the neutral
point.
LV1 turbo mode: (Lead Angle mode) Lead angle – Yes
The output can be increased by setting a lead angle.
Depending on the set value, the motor may be damaged so increase the lead angle value in steps from a
small value while observing the conditions.
Turn on LAU (Lead Angle Use) and adjust the lead angle by LA-(LEAD ANGLE) and A, B, C, D, E BA-(A, B,
C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) value.
LV2 power mode: (Power Mode) Lead angle – Yes
Displays still more power than a turbo.
However, since even a motor applies a large load on the ESC, make the lead angle larger in steps from a
small value while observing the conditions.
Turn on LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) and adjust the lead angle by LA-(LEAD ANGLE) and A, B, C, D, E BA-(A, B,

LAU-(LEAD ANGLE USE)
ON /OFF
Same as Link software Lead Angle Use.
This function is effective when TBM (Turbo Mode) is LEV1 or LEV2 and
sets whether or not lead angle is used. This setting has priority over the
TURBO MODE setting. When used in races in which the lead angle func-
tion is inhibited by the ESC, set this function to OFF.
OFF : Lead angle function not used.
ON : Lead angle used.
LA-(LEAD ANGLE) 0~59deg
Same as Link software Lead Angle.
When LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) is turned on the motor lead angle can
be set at the MC960CR. The lead angle can be set up to 59 degrees in 1
degree increments.

When LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) is turned on the lead angle versus motor
speed of the 5 points A to E can be set. The lead angle can be set up to
59 degrees in 1 degree increments.
Note: Do not read to the T4PV an MC940/960CR whose speed was set
to over 99990rpm by Link software side Boost Angle rpm setting.
Page 2
When using in races in which the lead angle setting function is inhibited by the ESC, set LAU (LEAD
ANGLE USE) to OFF. The LAU setting has priority over TBM-(TURBO MODE). If LAU is set to
"OFF", the lead angle setting function can be turned off even if TBM is set to "LV1" or "LV2".
The MC940,960CR shows that the lead angle setting function is OFF ("0" timing) by blinking a LED.
The LA-(LEAD ANGLE) and A, B, C, D, E BA- (A, B, C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) relationship is shown on
the graphs below. Graph [A] shows the relationship when the same value is set at points A, B, C, D, E BA-
(A, B, C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) of [A] and [B] and the LA-(LEAD ANGLE) is set to "0". Graph [B] shows
the relationship when a value other than "0" is set at LA-(LEAD ANGLE).
As shown in the graphs, [B] is added to the A, B, C, D, E BA-(A, B, C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) set lead an-
gle and [A] is added to the LA-(LEAD ANGLE) set lead angle. For example, if "3" is set at ABA and LA of [B]
is set to "2", the actual ABA becomes 3+2=5 (deg). Since LA of [A] is "0", the actual ABA also becomes
3+0=3 (deg).

Telemetry "TELEMETRY"
Telemetry "TELEMETRY"
With the telemetry system, the running status can be displayed at the transmitter and also
recorded as a data log by mounting various sensor units to the chassis.
The T4PV displays four kinds of information on the HOME screen; receiver power source
(battery) voltage, external power supply (drive battery) voltage, speed, and temperature.
* The telemetry function is compatible with only the T-FHSS system.
* The telemetry function requires a corresponding receiver. (R304SB)
* Only T4PV with R304SB ID registered have a telemetry display.
* Multiple sensors of the same type cannot be used.
The sensor data can be checked at the transmitter by connecting
the telemetry sensor sold separately to the S.BUS2 connector of the
R304SB receiver.

sor. The data of 3 types of sensors and the receiver power supply
voltage can be transmitted by using the 3-way extension cord or
double extension cord sold separately.
The receiver power supply can also be connected to the S.BUS2 connector or each of CH1-
4. A receiver power supply voltage sensor is unnecessary.
*The S.BUS2 system exerts control by connecting multiple gyros, servos and other devices
corresponding to one S.BUS2 connector. Each device is separately controlled by setting the
channel No. or slot No. individually for each device.
A slot No. is also set for telemetry sensors. With the T4PV system, each slot No. of a teleme-
try sensor must be set to its initial value. Since the slot No. can be changed for other aircraft
type transmitters (T4PX, etc.), sensors with changed slot No. will not operate if not returned
to their initial slot No.
When using a sensor that is used with transmitters other than a T4PV, whether or not the
slot No. is set to the initial value given in the sensor instruction manual must be checked at
the changed transmitter (T4PX, etc.). With the T4PV, the set slot No. cannot be checked or
changed. So, essentially, if a sensor has been used in a 4PX, and you want to use the same

Telemetry "TELEMETRY"
Log Setting Start/Stop
The data from a telemetry sensor can be saved to the T4PV as a data log. Since the data is
sequentially updated, when data logging is performed, the old data is erased. Only one set
of data is saved.
The interval at which the data is acquired can be selected from a minimum 0.1 second to a
maximum 60 seconds. Because the maximum count is 200, if 200 counts are made at 0.1
second intervals, 20 seconds worth of data is acquired. If 200 counts are made at 60 second
intervals, 3 hours 20 minutes worth of data is acquired.
Data logging is started and stopped by setting PS2 using the select
switch
function (p.72) to
"LOGGER" and by switch. If the switch is not set, data logging is started by throttle trigger
from the log setting screen.
Data logging can also be started by throttle trigger from this screen and stopped by switch
set by select
switch
function (p.72).
(Preparation)
When using a switch to start and stop data logging, set PS2 to
"LOGGER" by the function select switch (p.72).
