The following is an overview of the various functions and adjustments found on CTX-8000 radio system for Carisma models. It is important to read and understand about all of these
functions and adjustments before driving.
Power ON / OFF the Transmitter
* In general, user will experience under steer when making a wide turn at
high speed or over steer when making sharp turn at high speed (easy to
spin out). User should practice the throttle and steering approach for
different cornering at different speed or road surface.
The Transmitter CTX-8000
Steering Wheel : Control direction (Left / Right) of the RC model.
Throttle Trigger : Control speed (Forward/Brake/Backward)
of the driving model.
Antenna : Transmit signal to the model.
Power ON / OFF : Power ON / OFF the transmitter
SYNC & Battery Indicator : Green LED light indicates synchronization status and/or adequate
battery power supply. Red LED light indicates low battery
Dual Rate Dial : Adjust the same maximum steering angle on both sides
when model turns Left / Right
ST. Trim Dial : Adjust the neutral position of steering servo when model
wheels are straight ahead.
TH. Trim Dial : Make sure the model stays still when releasing the
throttle trigger.
Battery Compartment Tray : Cover and hold the batteries powering the transmitter.
Battery Installation
Supplied with 4 x 1.5V AA Batteries,
CTX-8000 can be operated a few hours.
Installation: Remove the battery
compartment cover as shown below.
Install the batteries observing
the polarity marked on battery
compartment.
Then reinstall the battery
compartment cover as the
Picture shown below.
Warning : Never disassemble batteries or
put the batteries in fire, chemical agents,
otherwise they may cause personal injuries
or property damages.
Battery Disposal : Observe corresponding
regulations about wasted battery treatment
regulations.
1. After running out of power, dispose of
wasted batteries in designated areas far
away from water supply, household areas
and planted areas.
2. Submit the wasted batteries to specific
recycling stations.

when steering wheel remains in
NEUTRAL position.
2. Throttle : Adjust the throttle trim to
ensure the rear wheels stop rotating
when throttle trigger remains in
NEUTRAL position.

The LED indicator located on the front left side of the transmitter indicates the power
supply of batteries. The green LED will go solid on indicating that the batteries have
sufficient power. When batteries voltage drops below 3.8 volts, the Red LED will be
flashing slowly, indicating the batteries power is low and should be replaced.

* Always turn on the transmitter first (except doing synchronizing) by
sliding the switch on the left side from bottom to top. The green lights
above the switch should light up. If not, you need to check for low or
incorrectly installed batteries.

Reversing
Reversing is used to change the response direction of steering wheel and throttle
trigger. CTX-8000 Transmitter features 2 reversing functions: Steering Reverse
and Throttle Reverse.
Steering Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating steering
wheel. Turning left steering wheel, the model turns right while turning right the
model turns left.
Throttle Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating throttle trigger.
Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while pulling back,
the model moves forward. If necessary you can just use a small screwdriver to
adjust the corresponding switches.
CTX-8000 features two trimming
functions:
Steering Trim and Throttle Trim.
Steering Trim Dial :
Adjust the neutral position of steering
servo when the wheels are straight ahead.
Normally steering trim is adjusted until the
model can keep straight tracks.
Throttle Trim Dial :
Adjust the throttle trim to ensure the
rear wheels stop rotating when throttle
trigger remains in NEUTRAL position.
Trimming
Dual Rate Dial enables to adjust the same maximum steering angle of servo on
both sides (Left and Right) when model makes steering. The Dual Rate Dial affects
the sensitivity of servo. Reducing dual rate value can lower the sensitivity of servo
and reduce the same maximum steering angle on both sides. Remember to adjust
the dual rate value within the adjustment range.
Dual Rate Dial
1. Prior to any operation make sure the transmitter and receiver are both turned off.
2. Press and hold the setup button on the receiver while power on the receiver.
3. Release the setup button till green LED flashes.
4. Press the setup button to select the frame rate with green LED flashing.
Faster Flashing = High frame rate (7ms) for digital servo
Slower Flashing = Low frame rate (15ms)for analogue servo
5. Power on the transmitter. With the transmitter steering wheel and throttle trigger
in neutral position (full stop and straight steering), press the FTN Key of the
transmitter.
6. When synchronization is done, the green LED on both receiver and transmitter
will turn solid on.
