Reversing
Reversing is used to change the response direction of steering wheel and throttle trigger.
CTX-2710 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
orresponding switches.
CTX-2710 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 neutral position of throttle servo. Make
sure the model stays still when releasing the
throttle trigger.
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 SYNC button of the
transmitter.
6. When synchronization is done, the green LED on both receiver and transmitter
will turn solid on.

Step 1 - Turn on the transmitter, throttle at neutral ( stop ) position.
Step 2 - Hold the setup button on the ESC and switch on, the Red & Green LED will light up,
then release the setup button.
Step 3 - Green LED will flash, then hold the throttle to maximum forward position until the
Green LED becomes Solid on.
Step 4 - Wait until Red LED flashes, then hold the throttle to the maximum Reverse position
until the Red LED becomes Solid on.
Step 5 - Gently release the throttle to neutral ( stop ) position.
During normal operation, the GREEN LED is used to indicate the ESC mode in stop position
as following:
• Forward / Reverse Mode & Smart Brake Mode - GREEN LED solid on
• Forward Only Mode - GREEN LED fast flashing
When the ESC temperature is over the safety limit, ESC will shut off power output automatically,
meanwhile, Red & Green LED will flash alternatively for 30 secs.
After 30 secs, ESC normal function will be resumed.
When motor is stalled, ESC will shut off power output automatically, meanwhile, Red LED will
be flashing for 30 secs. After 30 secs, ESC will back to normal.
User can select either 6V cutoff for LiPo or 4V cutoff for NiMH. When input voltage is under
the set cut off limit, ESC will shut off power output automatically and protect battery effectively.
WARNING :
Do not modify connector plug or motor connector otherwise
may cause possible damage to MSC-2000RB ESC due to
improper use!
Do not run the model in rainy day or under terrible weather.

STEERING AND RATE ADJUSTMENT

ST.TRIM
TH.TRIM
Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate control on the top of the transmitter just above the steering wheel. This advanced feature, usually found only on competition- type
transmitter, allows you to adjust the amount the front tires move when you turn the steering wheel. This is really helpful when you are on slick, as well as high traction,surfaces. If
your Carisma model turns too sharply and / or spins out easily, try turning the steering rate down by rotating the knob counterclockwise ( to the left ). For sharper or additional
steering, turn the knob clockwise ( to the right ).
To reverse, push the throttle trigger to the braking position. After the car has come to a stop, release the throttle trigger and pull the trigger again to go reverse.

Once power on the Carisma model Car, turn on the transmitter by sliding the switch to "On"position. If the wheels turn, adjust the “TH Trim” knob located on the lower right
of the steering wheel until they stop. To go forward, pull the trigger back. If you need reverse, wait for the model to stop then push the trigger forward. When going forward,
the model should move in a straight line. If not, adjust the “ST Trim” so that it tracks in a straight line without having to move the steering wheel.
After you have finished, turn the Carisma model Car off first by sliding the switch on the ESC to the “ OFF” position. After the model has been turned off, turn off the transmitter.
If you wish to clean your Carisma model Car, use compressed air and / or a soft paint brush to remove the dust and dirt. Never use chemicals or anything wet as it can cause
damage to both the electronics and plastic parts.
