Whether it is on-road or off-road, at a pond or lake, Radiopost‟s products are
made for various RC hobbyists. From beginners to experts, Radiopost wishes
you the best as you set forth into the RC world with our specialized products.
▶TS401 2.4GHz is a high powered RC system. Please check the maximum
coverage distance and operation range for your safety.
▶The 2.4GHz is an ISM band that can be used for devices or equipments
other than RC hobby models. The use of different products in the same
2.4GHz bandwidth may cause frequency interferences among the products.
So, before you start, check to see if the servos move properly and other
connections, by performing a test run from the furthest distance possible.
▶As various manufacturers and products may have different 2.4GHz
technology, only the Radiopost receivers bind with the TS401.

section, above the power switch of the transmitter. Be careful not to
cover this part of transmitter, as it may cause weak signal output if
covered.
▶The receiver antenna is made of coaxial cable that consists of a covered
part and naked wire part. The naked wire is used to receive the radio
wave. Be careful not to bend the naked part of the wire, as it also may
weaken the signal quality of the receiver.
▶An antenna cable is very delicate. Please handle it with care.
▶Do not forcibly pull the antenna cable.
▶Do not cut or link the antenna cable with other wires.

of control.
Warning
▶Covered part of the antenna may be slightly made into a smooth curve. But
do not fully bend it repeatedly or too sharply, which may cause unexpected
problems with the antenna.
▶The antenna must be installed in the plastic tube or antenna pipe to stand
upright according to the RC model assembly instruction. It is highly
recommended to mount the antenna of receiver away from the motor, the
battery and the speed controller.
▶If the connector of receiver shakes, an unexpected outcome may occur
during controlling. Please check if the receiver, the servo and the switch
connectors are firmly attached to the model.
▶The receiver is sensitive to vibrations, impacts and humidity. Please take
appropriate measures for the receiver to be kept away vibration,
impact and humidity. If not, malfunctions or other problems may occur.

Frequency channel setting unnecessary and channel shifting takes place
within the 2.4GHz band automatically. This system minimizes the
interference from other 2.4GHz systems by using DSSS that has high
signal transmission rate.
▣Model memory for 20 models
The model names can use letters, numbers and symbols so that logical
names may be used.
▣Two menu mode
The menu is consist of 2 sub-menus – Quick menu and 8 Icons‟ menu –
so that quickly and easily call the functions.
▣Brake Mixing
Brake mixing of the front and rear wheels can be adjusted independently.
▣A.B.S system
A.B,S function applies the brakes that gasoline engine cars do not lose
their grip on the road even when braking at corners.
▣ACCEL
Gasoline engine cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes
become effective. The ACCEL function reduces this time lag.
▣Throttle speed
Sudden trigger operation on a slippery road surface will cause the wheel
to spin and the model not to accelerate smoothly. By using the throttle
speed function, operation can be performed smoothly and easily. It also
suppresses battery consumption.
▣Left-handed support
The left and right installation direction of the wheel section can be
reversed.

adjustable. The channel movement of accelerator direction is
adjustable as following 3 types.
•EXP: Adjust the sensitivity of movement in neutral by using
exponential curve.
•VTR: Put the curve point between the neutral point and the highest
throttle point to move in a different straight line before and
after the curve point.

5.10 Speed
5.10.1 Steer Speed
Abrupt steering may cause excessive or insufficient rotation of vehicle
and possibly cause deceleration. To prevent unexpected results, it is
suggested to adjust the reaction speed of the steering.
■How to Set
Select whether to adjust the value of start turn direction or to

SET. Use the LEFT and the RIGHT to change the value. Press the
SET to save the adjusted value. Delay occurs to the movement of
steering according to the set value.
5.10.2 Throttle Speed
In case of sudden start on a slippery road, the acceleration may not
be as smooth due to lack of traction of the vehicles wheels. The start
can be smoother and the power consumption may be reduced if you
use this Throttle Speed function. The speed can be adjusted in 3
ranges.
Speed is set as the whole direction of throttle acceleration is one
range.
Speed 1
40

5.11 Brake
This function is used to operate the brake system of front wheels and the
brake system of rear wheels separately. The brake of rear wheels can be
connected to the Ch. 2 and the brake of front wheels can be connected
to the Ch. 3 or Ch. 4. Brake mixing can be applied to Ch. 3 and Ch. 4
respectively. If the mixing function is inhibited (INH), the value setting
cannot be done and will be blocked by the mark „---„.
The default setting for this function is INH. Move to the channel to
be set using the LEFT and the RIGHT in the Mode. Press the SET
to change the mode into ACT using the RIGHT and press the SET
again to activate the selected channel. The figure below shows that
Ch. 3 is activated.
■How to Set
Move to the RATE-EACH using the DOWN to set the mixing ratio.
The range of mixing ratio is 0 to 100. The default value is 100.
Move to the RATE-COM using the DOWN to set the mixing ratio.
The range of mixing ratio is 0 to 100. The default value is 100. As
the RATE-COM setting affects Ch. 4, it is used to apply the brake
mixing ratio both to Ch. 3 and Ch. 4.
43
Move to the Brake-DLY in the next page by pressing the DOWN on
Brake-EXP. Press the SET on Brake-DLY to set the brake delay time.
The brake delay time can be set to the front or rear brake.
Move to the STM-LEFT using the DOWN to set the steering mixing
value. It is to set the change the mixing value ratio when the
steering wheel is turned toward the left. The range of mixing ratio
is 0 to 100. The default value is 100.
Move to the STM-RIGHT using the DOWN to set the steering
mixing value. It is to set the change the mixing value ratio when
the steering wheel is turned toward the right. The range of mixing
ratio is 0 to 100. The default value is 100.
Move to the Brake-EXP using the DOWN to set the exponential
value. The range of exponential value is -100 to 100. The default
value is 0. When the value is negative (-), the motion around the
neutral position becomes dull. When the value is positive (+), the
motion around the neutral position becomes sensitive.
44
Move to ABS-Mode in the next page by pressing the DOWN on
the STM-RIGHT. The default setting of ABS-Mode is INH. In the
INH state, the mixing value cannot be set because the slot for
value setting is blocked by the mark „---„. In order to activate the
ABS-Mode, change INH to ACT first.
Move to the ABS-ABP using the DOWN to set the brake return
amount value. The value range is 0 to 100. The default value is 50.
When the value is 0, no brake return is carried out, which means
ABS function does not work. When the value is 50, the brake
return is carried out to the 50% position of trigger point. When
the value is 100, the brake servo performs the brake return to the
neutral position.
Move to the ABS-DLY using the DOWN to set the brake delay time
value. The value range is 0 to 100. The default value is 100.
When the value is 0, there is no brake delay. When the value is 50,
ABS brake starts around 0.75 second after the brake is on. When
the value is 100, ABS brake starts around 1.5 seconds after the
brake is on.

if steer is positioned in neutral point or inside 30% of steer end
point. If the value is E30, ABS operates if steer is positioned
outside 30% of steer end point. The default value is 0.

■How to Set
Press SET, and use the LEFT and/or the RIGHT to modify the values.
Press SET again to save the value. The value can be modified to
100 toward the up side and to 100 toward the down side. The
