Carbon Fiber Chassis
Noise is generated in any area where a large amount of
electric current is flowing. Position the receiver and
antenna cable as far away from the motor, battery, ESC,
and their associated cables as possible. (Metal or carbon
fiber chassis components will also conduct electricity
and generate noise.)
Since R/C models are controlled via radio signals, taking
appropriate measures against noise generated by
on-board equipment is of utmost importance. Take
adequate measures against noise so that your machine
can fully realize your driving potential.

Keep antenna cable away from all sources of noise!
When installing the receiver to the chassis or R/C
equipment deck/tray, use two or more pieces of thick
double-sided tape to raise the receiver off the chassis
surface. By increasing the separation between the
receiver and the noise-generating carbon-fiber chassis
components, the effects of noise can be decreased.
Raise the antenna cable vertically from as high a position as possible. Insert the antenna cable into the antenna
pipe so that the tip of the antenna aligns with the end of the pipe. Make the length of cable which runs between
the receiver and the pipe as short as possible and position the antenna holder as close to the receiver as
possible. Position the antenna cable away from sources of noise such as the chassis and R/C equipment
deck/tray. Use an antenna pipe and antenna mount that are made from plastic, since metal parts will conduct
noise.
Engine vibrations may damage the receiver. Make sure to attach a
grommet (receiver holder) to reduce the effects of such vibrations. Do
not attach the receiver directly to the chassis or R/C equipment
deck/tray with double-sided tape. Also position the receiver so that it
does not contact the heat and exhaust of the engine and muffler.

In order for the receiver to operate, it must store the
transmitter's unique ID in its memory in a process
called “pairing.” Even if a single transmitter is used
to control multiple receivers, each receiver must go
through the pairing process with the transmitter before
being used for the rst time.　
※ Please adjust the Modulation mode before
　pairing.(p.10) A receiver does not work 　
　normally in di󰮏erent mode.
During this process, your car may become uncontrollable
if the ESC has not been adjusted. As a precaution, set
your car so that its wheels do not touch the ground.
Pairing procedures may not go smoothly if there
are wireless LAN, microwave ovens, or other users
conducting pairing procedures nearby. In this case, move
some distance away or wait a while before attempting the
pairing procedure again.
If the mode is changed（General or France), please
conduct pairing procedures with the receiver you are
using again.
<France mode pairing ＞
