GENERAL
GENERAL
SAFETY
This is a high-output, full-range radio control system that should well exceed the range needed for any surface model. For
safety, the user should perform a range test at the area of operation to ensure that the radio control system has complete
control of the model at the farthest reaches of the operational area. Rather than operating the model, we recommend that the
user enlist the help of a fellow modeler to walk the model to the farthest reaches of the track (or for boats, to walk the shore line
well in excess of the operational distance of the boat), then test for proper operation.
• Observe all the rules of the field, track or lake where you operate your radio control equipment.
• If at any time during the operation of your Model, should you feel or observe erratic operation or abnormality, end your
operation as quickly and safely as possible. DO NOT operate your model again until you are certain the problem has been
corrected. TAKE NO CHANCES.
• Your model can cause serious damage or injury. Please use caution and courtesy at all times.
• Do not expose the radio control system to water or excessive moisture.
• Waterproof the receiver and servos by placing them in a water-tight radio box when operating R/C model boats.
• If you have little to no experience operating R/C models, we recommend you seek the assistance of an experienced
modeler or your local hobby shop for guidance.
• The Low Voltage Alert alarm will sound when the transmitter battery voltage drops to the default low voltage threshold. If this
occurs, stop using the transmitter as soon as is safely possible, then replace or recharge the transmitter batteries.
This radio control system operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band. The 2.4GHz connection is determined by the transmitter
and receiver pair. Unlike ordinary crystal-based systems, your model can be used without frequency control.

2.4GHZ FREQUENCY BAND PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
• The 2.4GHz frequency band may be used by other devices, or other devices in the immediate area may cause interference
on the same frequency band. Always before use, conduct a bench test to ensure that the servos operate properly. Also,
conduct checks with the transmitter as distant as possible from your Model.
• The response speed of the receiver can be affected if used where multiple 2.4GHz transmitters are being used, therefore,
carefully check the area before use. If response seems slow during use, stop your Model immediately and discontinue use.
• If the 2.4GHz frequency band is saturated (too many transmitters turned ON at once), as a safety precaution, the transmitter
and receiver may not Bind. This ensures that your radio control system does not get hit by interference. Once the frequencies
have been cleared, or the saturation level has dropped, your transmitter and receiver should Bind without any problems.
TRANSMITTER PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
• To prevent possible damage to your servos or a runaway model, turn the transmitter ON first,
then turn the receiver ON. After running your model, turn the receiver OFF first, then turn the
transmitter OFF.
• Before use, double-check that the transmitter and receiver batteries have sufficient
power.
• The transmitter antenna is mounted internally and is located in the vertical back portion of the carrying handle.
Do NOT cover the carrying handle in any way during use! Doing so can block the RF signal, resulting in loss of
control of your model.
• During use, hold the transmitter so that its orientated as close to vertical as possible at all times. This provides the best RF
signal between the transmitter and the receiver. Try not to ever 'follow' your model with the transmitter,
as this can result in a weakened RF signal.
• Do not expose the transmitter or any other components to excessive heat,
moisture, fuel, exhaust residue, etc.
• If the outer case becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. If the outer case becomes
soiled, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth and liquid detergent. Do not use any solvents to clean
the outer case. Solvents will damage the finish.
RECEIVER PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
• The antenna consists of a coaxial cable and a reception wire (the thin tip at the end of the coaxial cable). When you mount
the antenna, do not bend the reception wire. Reception performance decreases if the reception wire is bent.
• The antenna is delicate, therefore, handle with care. Do not pull on the antenna with force. Do
not cut or extend the antenna.
• The coaxial cable (the thicker portion of the antenna) can be bent into gentle curves, however,
do not bend the coaxial cable acutely, or repeatedly bend it, or the antenna core can be damaged.
• The antenna should be installed into a vertical plastic tube per your particular model's assembly instructions. Keep the
receiver antenna as far away from the motor, battery and ESC as possible.
• There is a danger of runaway operation if connectors shake loose during use. Make sure that the receiver, servo(s) and
switch connectors are securely fitted.
• The receiver is susceptible to vibration, shock and moisture. Take appropriate measures to protect against vibration and
moisture. Failure to take appropriate measures could result in runaway operation or damage to the receiver. We suggest
wrapping the receiver in shock-absorbing foam or securing it with double-sided foam tape when installing it into your
model.
• When routing the antenna, avoid contact with any carbon or metal chassis components. Contact between metal or carbon
parts can result in electrical noise, which can adversely effect receiver performance and possibly result in runaway operation
and result in damage to your model.
• With electric-powered models, be sure to fit any brushed motors with a noise suppression capacitor. Without a noise suppression
capacitor, excessive electrical noise generation can cause runaway operation and result in damage to your model.
TELEMETRY SUPPORT INFORMATION
GENERAL
• Full telemetry support requires the use of an Airtronics 2.4GHz FH4T telemetry-capable surface receiver, such as the RX-461
or RX-462, along with Airtronics Temperature and RPM Sensors (available separately). The included RX-472 receiver can
send Telemetry Data for the voltage of the receiver battery pack only, unless used with the Airtronics Super Vortex ZERO ESC.
• Full Telemetry support is provided when used with an Airtronics Super Vortex ZERO ESC (available separately) plugged into
the BATT/SSL port of the included RX-472 receiver.
• The range of the Telemetry System is approximately 260 feet (80 meters), although the range can vary based on many
environmental factors. Use the Telemetry Signal Indicator to determine the quality of the signal.

TRANSMITTER BATTERY OPTIONS
GENERAL
The 90478 transmitter's Operating Voltage Range is 4.0 to 9.6 volts. This allows you to use several different battery options
(not included), depending on your preference.
Alkaline - In the default configuration, the transmitter is designed to be powered using four 'AA' Alkaline batteries. This results
in a transmitter that is lightweight and well-balanced for unmatched comfort.
NiCd/NiMH - Rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries of desired capacity can be used in place of the Alkaline batteries. Using
rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries is more convenient and cheaper in the long run. The Higher capacity batteries will also
provide longer usage time than most Alkaline batteries.
Transmitter power output, range and speed are the same, regardless of the battery type used. If using a LiPo or LiFe
battery pack, please read the Warnings if Using a LiPo or LiFe Battery Pack section below.
ALKALINE BATTERY INSTALLATION
GENERAL
When installing the batteries, remove the battery holder and double-check that the battery holder is plugged in. If it isn't,
plug the connector on the battery holder into the matching connector in the transmitter.
GENERAL
LiPo or LiFe - A 2 cell LiPo or LiFe battery pack can be used to power the transmitter. These battery packs are popular due to
their light weight and high capacity for long usage time between charges.
1) Remove the battery cover from the bottom of the transmitter by pushing firmly on the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
2) Install four fresh 'AA' Alkaline batteries into the
battery holder, making sure that the polarity is
correct. The direction that each battery should be
installed is molded into the bottom of the battery
holder (+ Positive and - Negative).
3) Slide the battery cover back onto the transmitter and push it firmly until it 'clicks' closed.
TRANSMITTER BATTERY CHARGING OPTIONS
GENERAL
The 90478 transmitter features a Charging Jack that can be used with the Airtronics 95034 Dual Output charger (available
separately) to charge the optional NiCd or NiMH batteries. This allows you to charge these batteries without removing them
from the transmitter. A Charging Jack is located on the Left side of the transmitter. For more information, see the Transmitter
Overview Diagrams section on pages 6 and 7.
WARNING: Do NOT attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries. Only NiCd or NiMH batteries should be charged through the
transmitter's Charging Jack, using only the Airtronics 95034 Dual Output charger or equivalent overnight/slow charger. Do
NOT attempt to charge a LiPo or LiFe battery pack through the Charging Jack.
Do NOT use the Charging Jack with a fast charger or a peak-detection charger, or the transmitter could be damaged!
If you use a fast charger or a peak-detection charger to charge the transmitter batteries, the battery holder must be removed
from the transmitter first. The circuitry within the transmitter will interfere with the peak-detection charger's normal operation,
resulting in over-charging and damaging the batteries and possibly the transmitter itself. In addition, the higher charge
rate common in many fast chargers can damage the transmitter's circuitry.
Damage caused by fast-charging through the transmitter or using an incorrect battery type will not be covered under
warranty!
WARNINGS IF USING A LIPO OR LIFE BATTERY PACK
GENERAL
• Use ONLY a 2 Cell LiPo or LiFe battery pack of desired capacity.
• Do NOT charge your LiPo or LiFe battery pack through the Charging Jack. The battery pack MUST be removed from the
transmitter prior to charging or the transmitter could be damaged. For more information, see the WARNING in the Transmitter
Battery Charging Options section above.
• Use a balance charger specifically designed to charge LiPo or LiFe battery packs.
• When changing the connector on your battery pack to match the battery connector in the transmitter,
please observe correct polarity. Connecting with reverse polarity will damage the transmitter.
= Negative (Black)
= Positive (Red)
• Observe all safety precautions provided with your LiPo or LiFe battery pack.
• Damage to the transmitter caused by improper use, wrong battery type, incorrect voltage, reverse polarity or charging
through the Charging Jack will not be covered under warranty!
The transmitter has a Nominal Input Voltage range of 4.8 to 7.4 volts. DO NOT USE A 3 CELL LiPo or LiFe battery pack or
the transmitter will be damaged! Use a 2 Cell LiPo or LiFe battery pack only!

counter-clockwise.
GENERAL
STEERING WHEEL TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT
The maximum right and left travel of the steering wheel can be adjusted to best suit the feel of the steering wheel and your driving
style. Some drivers prefer to limit the travel of the steering wheel as it makes them feel more 'connected' to their model.
To adjust the maximum travel of the steering wheel, follow the steps below:
1) Remove the foam steering wheel grip from the steering wheel by firmly pulling it straight off.
2) To limit the maximum travel of the steering wheel, use a 1.5mm hex wrench to turn both grub
screws (A) clockwise equally the desired amount. To maximize the travel of the steering wheel,
turn both grub screws counter-clockwise equally the desired amount.
After making steering wheel travel adjustments, you must use the Variable Rate Adjustment
function to ensure your steering servo travel limits are equal. For more information, see the
Variable Rate Adjustment section on pages 68 and 69.
Limiting the maximum travel of the steering wheel will increase the sensitivity of the steering.
We recommend setting negative Exponential to soften the control feel around Neutral. For
more information, see the Exponential and ARC section on pages 21 through 23.

BINDING THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER
GENERAL
The Binding function allows you to Bind the transmitter and receiver pair. When new, it is necessary to pair the transmitter and
receiver to prevent interference from transmitters operated by other users. This operation is referred to as Binding. Once the
Binding process is complete, the setting is remembered even when the transmitter and receiver are turned OFF. Therefore, this
procedure usually only needs to be done once.
Under some circumstances, the receiver may not operate after turning the transmitter and receiver ON. If this occurs,
perform the Binding process again.
IMPORTANT: This section details Binding the RX-472 4-Channel 2.4GHz FH4T Super Response receiver with the Servo
Operating Mode set to Normal mode. If you are Binding an FH2 or FH3 receiver, or if you prefer to change the Servo Operating
Mode, see the BIND Menu section on pages 52 and 53.
Before beginning the Binding process, connect your servos and receiver battery pack to the receiver. For more information,

02.D /R (DUAL RATE)
PROGRAM
The Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of the Steering, Throttle High Side and Throttle Brake Side by
changing the amount of servo travel relative to control input. For example, by increasing the Steering Dual Rate, you can make
the steering servo travel more, which might prevent your model from pushing during turns. If your model oversteers during
turns, you can reduce the amount of Steering Dual Rate. Adjusting Steering Dual Rate affects both Right-hand and Left-hand
steering equally, however, you are able to adjust Throttle Dual Rate on the Throttle High Side and Throttle Brake Side independently.
IMPORTANT: Prior to programming the Dual Rate function, you should adjust the maximum Left and Right (or High and Low)
End Points, using the End Point Adjustment function. For more information, see the End Point Adjustment section on pages
19 through 21.
Dual Rate is a percentage of End Point Adjustment. For example, if you set the Steering Dual Rate percentage value to
100%, the Steering will travel the same amount defined by your End Point Adjustment programming. Alternately, if you set
the Steering Dual Rate percentage value to 50%, the Steering will travel half the amount defined by your End Point Adjustment
programming.

Trm4 [TH]
Trm3 [ST]
Controlling the Dual Rate Function:
1) By assigning the Steering, Throttle and Brake Dual Rate programming functions to
one or more of the Trim Switches, Auxiliary Lever or Dial Knob, these functions can
be adjusted while driving without accessing the Programming Menu. In addition,
these functions can be toggled OFF and ON by assigning them to one or more
Push-Button Switches. For more information, see the Key Assignments section on
pages 53 through 58.
In the default configuration, the Steering and Throttle Dual Rate programming
functions are adjusted using Trim Switch Trm3 and Trim Switch Trm4, respectively.
03.EPA (END POINT ADJUSTMENT)
PROGRAM
The End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction. This makes it possible to balance servo
travel in both directions and set the maximum desired amount of servo travel. For example, on a gas-powered model, if you
pull the throttle trigger and the carburetor does not open completely, you can increase the Throttle High End Point Adjustment
so that the carburetor opens completely. Another example is with steering. If your model turns sharper to the right than to the
left, you can increase the Steering Left End Point Adjustment to balance the steering. The End Point Adjustment function can be
adjusted for the Steering channel (Right and Left), the Throttle channel (Throttle High Side and Throttle Brake Side), Auxiliary 1
Channel 3 (High and Low) and Auxiliary 2 Channel 4 (High and Low).

centered as possible, then use the Servo Sub-Trim function to center the servo
arm exactly. For more information, see the Adjusting the Servo Sub-Trim Values
section on page 41.
End Point Adjustment percentage values should not be increased to the point where your
linkages and servos Bind when moved all the way to the Right or Left. Binding will cause the
servos to 'buzz', resulting in a quicker loss of receiver battery power and eventual damage to the
servos or to your Model.
Adjusting the Steering End Point Adjustment Percentage Values:
Your model’s turning radius can differ from left to right because of variations in linkage, suspension balance, tire diameter, or
weight distribution. In such cases, Left Steering servo travel and Right Steering servo travel are adjustable using the End Point
Adjustment function.
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the EPA menu, then press the ENTER key. The EPA
menu will be displayed and [ST]:EPA L100% will be highlighted.
3) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Steering Left
End Point Adjustment percentage value. Increasing the percentage value will increase
steering servo travel in that direction and decreasing the percentage value will decrease
steering servo travel in the that direction.
EPA ST L setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%.
4) From within the EPA menu, scroll DOWN to highlight [ST]:EPA R100%. Press the ENTER
key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Steering Right End Point
Adjustment percentage value. Increasing the percentage value will increase steering
servo travel in that direction and decreasing the percentage value will
decrease steering servo travel in the direction.
EPA ST R setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%.
Steering EPA L/R can be adjusted from within the Channel Set menu. This option changes both Left and Right Steering
End Point Adjustment percentage values equally at the same time, which is similar to adjusting Steering Dual Rate.
Adjusting the Throttle End Point Adjustment Percentage Values:
Your model's carburetor may not open completely, or it may open too much and cause the throttle servo to bind. If you're
using an Electronic Speed Control, the Electronic Speed Control may not command full power, or the brake may not engage
adequately. In such cases, Throttle High servo travel and Throttle Brake servo travel are adjustable using the End Point
Adjustment function.
1) From within the EPA menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight [TH]:EPA H 100%.
2) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Throttle High
End Point Adjustment percentage value. Increasing the percentage value will increase
Throttle High servo travel in that direction and decreasing the percentage
value will decrease Throttle High servo travel in that direction.

If you're using an Electronic Speed Control, the Throttle High and the Throttle Brake End Point Adjustment percentage
values are both generally set to 100%, although the Throttle High direction may need to be increased to achieve full
power. In some cases the End Point Adjustments can also be set directly via the Electronic Speed Control.
Adjusting the Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 and Auxiliary 2 Channel 4 End Point Adjustment Percentage Values:
Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 and Auxiliary 2 Channel 4 can be used for a number of different uses. One of the more common uses
would be for the reverse function in a glow-powered monster truck. Often, the transmission only requires a small amount of
throw, but the servo binds because of too much servo travel. In such a case, Auxiliary High servo travel and Auxiliary Low servo
travel are adjustable using the End Point Adjustment function.
1) From within the EPA menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight [A1]:EPA H 100% or [A2]:EPA
H 100%.
PROGRAM
2) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Auxiliary
High End Point Adjustment percentage value. Increasing the percentage value will
increase auxiliary servo travel in that direction and decreasing the percentage value
will decrease auxiliary servo travel in that direction.

3) From within the EPA menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight [A1]:EPA L100% or [A2]:EPA
L100%. Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the
Auxiliary Low End Point Adjustment percentage value. Increasing the percentage
value will increase auxiliary servo travel in that direction and decreasing the percentage
value will decrease auxiliary servo travel in that direction.
EPA A1 L and EPA A2 L setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%.
04.CURVE (EXPONENTIAL AND ARC)
PROGRAM
The Exponential and Adjustable Rate Control (ARC) functions allow you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the
movement of the steering wheel, throttle trigger and auxiliary lever near the Neutral positions to change the way those functions
react to control movement.
Decreasing the Exponential or Adjustable Rate Control
percentage values will soften the control feel around
Neutral and increasing the Exponential or Adjustable
Rate Control percentage values will heighten the
control feel around Neutral. Using a lower negative
value allows for smoother control. Using a higher
positive value may result in more 'twitchy' control
response.
The Exponential and Adjustable Rate Control functions
can be adjusted for the Steering channel, the Throttle
channel (Throttle High and Throttle Brake), Auxiliary 1
Channel 3 and Auxiliary 2 Channel 4. A graph that
depicts the Exponential or Adjustable Rate Control
curve is featured to help visualize the changes you make.
The Exponential and Adjustable Rate Control functions work the same, except the Exponential Rate percentage value is
programmed from a fixed Neutral Point of 50% and the Adjustable Rate Control Rate percentage value is programmed
from a user-adjustable Neutral Point, giving you even greater programming control.

04.CURVE (EXPONENTIAL AND ARC)
PROGRAM
Choosing the Channel:
Exponential or Adjustable Rate Control percentage values can be adjusted from Mild through Linear to Quick to allow you to
set the most effective control response for your model. For example, if your model over-steers, reduce the Steering Exponential
or Adjustable Rate Control percentage value, and if your model under-steers, increase the Steering Exponential or Adjustable
Rate Control percentage value.
As another example, reduce the Throttle Exponential or Adjustable Rate Control percentage value on a slippery track or with a
model that has a higher-torque motor or engine, and increase the Throttle Exponential or Adjustable Rate Control percentage
value on a high-grip track or with a model that has a lower-torque motor or engine.
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the CURVE menu, then press the ENTER key. The CURVE
menu will be displayed and the cursor will default to [ST].
3) Scroll DOWN to move the cursor to the channel you would like to make Programming
Value changes to. Choose from  [ST] (Steering),  [TH] (Throttle),
 [A1] (Auxiliary 1) or  [A2] (Auxiliary 2).
Choosing the Curve Type:
The Exponential and Adjustable Rate Control functions work the same, except the Exponential Rate percentage value is
programmed from a fixed Neutral Point of 50% and the Adjustable Rate Control Rate percentage value is programmed from a
user-adjustable Neutral Point, giving you even greater programming control. For more information, see the Adjusting the Point
Percentage Value section below.
1) Press the ENTER key to highlight TYPE EXP. Press the ENTER key a second time, then
scroll UP or DOWN to choose the desired Curve Type. If you are programming the Curve
function for the Throttle channel, you have the option of adjusting the Curve Type for the
Throttle High Side (TYPE-H) and the Throttle Brake Side (TYPE-B) independently.
CURVE TYPE setting range is EXP and ARC. The default setting is EXP.
Adjusting the Rate Percentage Value:
The Rate percentage value determines the desired amount and type of Exponential or Adjustable Rate Control, either Quick,
Mild or Linear (see diagrams on the previous page).
1) From within the CURVE menu, scroll DOWN to highlight RATE 0%. Press the ENTER key,
then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Rate percentage value. Using a
negative Rate percentage value will soften the control feel around Neutral and using a
positive Rate percentage value will heighten the control feel around Neutral.
CURVE RATE setting range is -100% (Mild) to 100% (Quick). The default setting is 0% (Linear).
Changes to the Rate percentage value affects both the channel High side and Low side equally, except for the Throttle
channel, in which the Throttle High and Throttle Brake sides can be adjusted independently.
Adjusting the Point Percentage Value:
The Point percentage value determines the Neutral Point where the Rate percentage value begins. For example, you may not
want the Point to be centered between the High and Low End Points. You may want the Point to be offset from the center
position.
The Point percentage value option is available ONLY when the TYPE ARC option is selected.

06.ALB (ANTI-LOCK BRAKING)
PROGRAM
The Anti-Lock Braking function makes it possible to achieve stable braking even on a slippery surface. With stable braking, your
model is better able to trace an exact line under braking. The Anti-Lock Braking function also enables you to set different braking
characteristics depending on your particular model. Different Anti-Lock Braking function options can be custom programmed,
including the how quickly the brake pulsates, the point at which the Anti-Lock Braking function starts and more.
The Anti-Lock Braking function is primarily used on gasoline- or glow-powered models that feature a throttle servo. It can be
used on an electric model that uses an Electronic Speed Control, however, if your Electronic Speed Control features a reverse
function, the Anti-Lock Braking function will not operate properly.
When the Anti-Lock Braking function is Active, LED 1 (Blue) will flash rapidly.
The Anti-Lock Braking function operates only when the Throttle Trigger is
moved from Neutral to the Brake Side. Set the hardest Braking you can
obtain from your model by carefully setting the Anti-Lock Braking function
right before the tires fully lock up but do not slip and lose traction. Be
aware that using the Anti-Lock Braking function will never result in your
model losing traction under braking. It only improves braking under less
than ideal conditions.

06.ALB (ANTI-LOCK BRAKING)
PROGRAM
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the ALB menu, then press the ENTER key. The ALB
menu will be displayed and STROKE OFF will be highlighted.
3) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Stroke
percentage value. Increasing the Stroke percentage value will increase throttle servo
travel in the Brake direction and decreasing the Stroke percentage value will decrease
throttle servo travel in the Brake direction.
ALB STROKE setting range is OFF to 100%. The default setting is OFF.
Adjusting the Point Percentage Value:
PROGRAM
The Point percentage value determines the position along the servo travel that the Anti-Lock Braking function Activates. For
example, if set to 80%, you will have Normal Braking from the Throttle Neutral Point to 79% of servo travel. At 80% of servo travel
and beyond, the Anti-Lock Braking function will Activate when turned ON.
1) From within the ALB menu, scroll DOWN to highlight POINT 80%. Press the ENTER key,
then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Point percentage value. Increasing
the Point percentage value will cause the Anti-Lock Braking function to Activate later
and decreasing the Point percentage value will cause the Anti-Lock Braking function
to Activate sooner.
ALB POINT setting range is 5% to 100%. The default setting is 80%.
Adjusting the Release and Hold Values:
The Release and Hold values determine the speed at which the brake pulsates. By adjusting the Release and Hold values, you
can make the brake pulsate faster or slower. The Release value determines how quickly the Brake moves from Neutral to
the percentage value determined by the Stroke setting and the Hold value determines how quickly the Brake moves from the
Stroke setting to Neutral.
We recommend using equal Release and Hold values, although different values can be used to fine-tune how the Brake
pulsates. Using lower values make the Brake pulsate faster and using higher values make the Brake pulsate slower.
1) From within the ALB menu, scroll DOWN to highlight RELEASE 0.03s. Press the ENTER
key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Release value. Increasing the
Release value will cause the Brake to move from Neutral to the Stroke setting slower
and decreasing the Release value will cause the Brake to move from Neutral to the
Stroke setting faster.
ALB RELEASE setting range is 0.01s to 1.00s. The default setting is 0.03s.
2) From within the ALB menu, scroll DOWN to highlight HOLD 0.03s. Press the ENTER key,
then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Hold value. Increasing the Hold
value will cause the Brake to move from the Stroke setting to the Neutral position slower
and decreasing the Hold value will cause the Brake to move from the Stroke setting to
the Neutral position slower.
ALB HOLD setting range is 0.01s to 1.00s. The default setting is 0.03s.

Anti-Lock Braking function after reaching the Point setting.
ALB LAG setting range is 0.00s to 1.00s. The default setting is 0.00s.
Controlling the Anti-Lock Braking Function:
1) By assigning the Anti-Lock Braking Point, Stroke, Lag, Hold and Release programming functions to one or more of the Trim
Switches, Auxiliary Lever or Dial Knob, these functions can be adjusted while driving without accessing the Programming
Menu. In addition, the Anti-Lock Braking function can be Toggled OFF and ON by assigning it to one of the Push-Button
Switches. For more information, see the Key Assignments section on pages 53 through 58.
07.OFFSET (THROTTLE OFFSET)
PROGRAM
The Throttle Offset function allows you to shift the Neutral position of the throttle servo, either toward the High Side or the Brake
Side. When used in conjunction with a Push-Button Switch, this function can be used several different ways. For example, if you're
driving a glow- or gas-powered model, you can program the Throttle Offset function to shut down your engine with the press of a
button. In addition, you can program the Throttle Offset function to increase to a steady idle while you're refueling during a race.
When a Position percentage value is programmed and the Throttle Offset function is Active, LED 1 (Blue) will flash rapidly
and OFFS will be displayed on the Top Screen. The Throttle Offset function shifts the Neutral position of the throttle servo
without affecting the High or Low End Points.
Turning the Throttle Offset Function ON or OFF:
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the OFFSET menu, then press the ENTER key. The

IMPORTANT: Prior to programming an Auxiliary 1 Programming function you must first choose the desired Auxiliary
Programming function in the SYSTEM AUX TYPE menu. Only one Auxiliary 1 Programming function can be Active at any
given time.
The Step Auxiliary function allows you to program the Auxiliary 1 servo to move a defined amount when toggled ON and OFF
using a Push-Button Switch. For example, if you assign Auxiliary 1 to a Push-Button Switch, then program the Step Auxiliary
percentage value to 50%, the Auxiliary 1 servo will travel from the Neutral position to 50% of travel when the Push-Button Switch
is pressed. Press the Push-Button switch a second time and the Auxiliary 1 servo will travel back to the Neutral position. This
is useful to control simple ON/OFF functions, such as a reverse servo for a transmission or a mechanical switch to turn lights
ON and OFF, etc.
The Step Auxiliary Position value can be adjusted while you're driving using one of the four Trim Switches, the Rotary Dial
or the Auxiliary Lever. The Step Auxiliary function can be toggled OFF and ON by assigning Auxiliary 1 to one of the two

through the Four Wheel Steering options (FRONT > REAR > NORMAL > REVERSE) and turn the Rotary Dial counter-clockwise
to cycle Backward through the Four Wheel Steering options (REVERSE > NORMAL > REAR > FRONT).
In addition, Auxiliary 1 can be assigned to one of the four Trim Switches. The Four Wheel Steering Mixing function can be
toggled OFF and ON by assigning Auxiliary 1 to one of the two Push-Button Switches. For more information, see the Key
Assignments section on pages 53 through 58.
IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, the DIAL or TRIM Step value must be set to 1. If set to a value other than 1, Four Wheel
Steering Mixing options will be skipped as you cycle through them. For more information, see the Key Assignments section
on pages 53 through 58.
When using Four Wheel Steering, it's important to adjust the Steering Channel 1 and Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 Sub-Trim
values to center both servos. This will ensure that your model tracks straight. In addition, remember that you are able
to independently adjust the Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 Dual Rate, Exponential, Sub-Trim, Servo Speed settings and more to allow for
the optimum Four Wheel Steering Mixing setup.
MOA MIX (Motor On Axle Mixing)
The Motor on Axle Mixing function allows you to use Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 as a second throttle channel, allowing you to use
two separate throttle servos or ESCs. The Motor on Axle Mixing function is typically used in Rock Crawling and allows you to
control either the Front and Rear motors together or independently, giving you Normal (Balanced), Dig and Burn functions. And
when coupled with the ability to variably change the power distribution between the Front and Rear motors, allows the utmost
in functionality.
When using the Motor on Axle function, it's important to adjust the Throttle Channel 2 and Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 Sub-Trim
values so both motors' idle (or OFF) settings are equal. This will ensure correct function. In addition, remember that you
are able to independently adjust the Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 Dual Rate, Exponential, Sub-Trim, Servo Speed settings and more to
allow for the optimum Motor on Axle Mixing setup.
Use the Rotary Dial, one of the four Trim Switches or the Auxiliary Lever to Activate the Dig and Burn functions while you're

PROGRAM
Adjusting the Rate Percentage Value:
The Rate percentage value defines how far the Auxiliary 1 servo travels relative to either the Steering servo or the Throttle servo.
The Master channel (either Steering Channel 1 or Throttle Channel 2) always controls the Slave channel (Auxiliary 1
Channel 3).
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the AUX1 menu, then press the ENTER key. The AUX1
AUX MIX menu will be displayed.
3) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to change the Rate percentage value.
Decreasing the Rate percentage value will reduce the amount the Auxiliary 1 servo
travels relative to the Steering servo or Throttle servo and increasing the Rate percentage
value will increase the amount the Auxiliary 1 servo travels relative to the Steering servo
or Throttle servo.
AUX1 AUX MIX RATE setting range is 100% to 0%. The default setting is 100%. This Mix is Linear. For example, if the Rate
percentage value is set to 100%, the Auxiliary 1 servo will travel the same amount as the Steering servo. Additionally, if the
Rate percentage value is set to 50%, the Auxiliary 1 servo will travel half the amount as the Steering servo.
In the default configuration, the Auxiliary 1 servo will travel in the same direction as the Steering servo or Throttle servo. To
apply the Mix in the opposite direction, change the Servo Reversing value of Auxiliary 1 Channel 3. For more information,
see the Servo Reversing section on page 42.
Controlling the Auxiliary Mixing Function:
1) In the default configuration, Auxiliary 1 is controlled by the Rotary Dial. Turn the Rotary Dial clockwise to increase the Rate
percentage value and turn the Rotary Dial counter-clockwise to decrease the Rate percentage value. In addition, the
Auxiliary Mixing Rate function can be assigned to one of the four Trim Switches or the Auxiliary Lever.
In addition, the Auxiliary Mixing function can be toggled OFF and ON by assigning Auxiliary 1 to one of the two Push-Button
Switches. For more information, see the Key Assignments section on pages 53 through 58.
Remember that you are able to independently adjust the Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 Dual Rate, Exponential, Sub-Trim, Servo
Speed settings and more to allow for the optimum Auxiliary Mixing setup.
CODE AUX (CODE Auxiliary)
The CODE Auxiliary function is used with Airtronics or Sanwa brand accessories, such as the Airtronics Super Vortex ZERO ESC,
that support Sanwa Synchronized Link (SSL). When used with an SSL equipped accessory item, the CODE Auxiliary function
allows you to remotely change accessory Programming Mode values.
For example, when used with the Airtronics Super Vortex ZERO ESC, many of the ESC Programming Mode values, such as
Drag Brake, Timing Advance, and more can be changed remotely from the transmitter while you're driving. In addition, you are

IMPORTANT: Prior to programming an Auxiliary 2 Programming function you must first choose the desired Auxiliary
Programming function in the SYSTEM AUX TYPE menu. Only one Auxiliary 2 Programming function can be Active at any
given time.
STEP AUX (Step Auxliary)
The Step Auxiliary function allows you to program the Auxiliary 2 servo to move a defined amount when toggled ON and OFF
using a Push-Button Switch. For example, if you assign Auxiliary 2 to a Push-Button Switch, then program the Step Auxiliary
percentage value to 50%, the Auxiliary 2 servo will travel from the Neutral position to 50% of travel when the Push-Button Switch
is pressed. Press the Push-Button switch a second time and the Auxiliary 2 servo will travel back to the Neutral position. This
is useful to control simple ON/OFF functions, such as a reverse servo for a transmission or a mechanical switch to turn lights
ON and OFF, etc.
The Step Auxiliary Position value can be adjusted while you're driving using one of the four Trim Switches, the Rotary Dial
or the Auxiliary Lever. The Step Auxiliary function can be toggled OFF and ON by assigning Auxiliary 2 to one of the two
Push-Button Switches. This allows you to control when the Auxiliary 2 servo travels to the programmed Step Auxiliary position.
Choosing the Step Auxiliary Function:
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the SYSTEM menu, then press the ENTER key. Scroll

2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the AUX2 menu, then press the ENTER key. The AUX2
STEP menu will be displayed and  0 will be shown.
3) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to change the Auxiliary 2 Position value.
Increasing the value toward the High side (H) or Low side (L) will cause the Auxiliary 2
servo to travel to that specific position when you Activate the Auxiliary 2 Step function.
AUX2 STEP AUX2 POSI setting range is H100 to L100. The default setting is 0. This value
is a percentage of Auxiliary 2 servo travel.
Controlling the Step Auxiliary Function:
1) In the default configuration, Auxiliary 2 is controlled by the Auxiliary Lever, however, we suggest re-assigning this function
to the Rotary Dial or one of the Trim Switches to make it easier to adjust while driving. Turn the Rotary Dial clockwise to
increase the Position High Side value and turn the Rotary Dial counter-clockwise to increase the Position Low Side value.
The Step Auxiliary function can be toggled OFF and ON by assigning Auxiliary 2 to one of the two Push-Button Switches.
This allows you to control when the Auxiliary 2 servo travels to the programmed Step Auxiliary position. For more information,
see the Key Assignments section on pages 53 through 58.

09.AUX2 (AUXILIARY 2 CHANNEL 4 PROGRAMMING)
PROGRAM
Adjusting the Rate Percentage Value:
The Rate percentage value defines how far the Auxiliary 2 servo travels relative to either the Steering servo or the Throttle servo.
The Master channel (either Steering Channel 1 or Throttle Channel 2) always controls the Slave channel (Auxiliary 2
Channel 4).
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the AUX2 menu, then press the ENTER key. The AUX2
AUX MIX menu will be displayed.
AUX2 AUX MIX RATE setting range is 100% to 0%. The default setting is 100%. This Mix is Linear. For example, if the Rate
percentage value is set to 100%, the Auxiliary 2 servo will travel the same amount as the Steering servo. Additionally, if the
Rate percentage value is set to 50%, the Auxiliary 2 servo will travel half the amount as the Steering servo.
In the default configuration, the Auxiliary 2 servo will travel in the same direction as the Steering servo or Throttle servo. To
apply the Mix in the opposite direction, change the Servo Reversing value of Auxiliary 2 Channel 4. For more information,
see the Servo Reversing section on page 42.
PROGRAM
3) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to change the Rate percentage value.
Decreasing the Rate percentage value will reduce the amount the Auxiliary 2 servo
travels relative to the Steering servo or Throttle servo and increasing the Rate percentage
value will increase the amount the Auxiliary 2 servo travels relative to the Steering servo
or Throttle servo.
Controlling the Auxiliary Mixing Function:
1) In the default configuration, Auxiliary 2 is controlled by the Auxiliary Lever, however, we suggest re-assigning this function
to the Rotary Dial or one of the Trim Switches to make it easier to adjust while driving. Turn the Rotary Dial clockwise to
increase the Rate percentage value and turn the Rotary Dial counter-clockwise to decrease the Rate percentage value.
In addition, the Auxiliary Mixing function can be toggled OFF and ON by assigning Auxiliary 2 to one of the two Push-Button
Switches. For more information, see the Key Assignments section on pages 53 through 58.
Remember that you are able to independently adjust the Auxiliary 2 Channel 4 Dual Rate, Exponential, Sub-Trim, Servo
Speed settings and more to allow for the optimum Auxiliary Mixing setup.
CODE AUX (CODE Auxiliary)
The CODE Auxiliary function is used with Airtronics or Sanwa brand accessories, such as the Airtronics Super Vortex ZERO ESC,
that support Sanwa Synchronized Link (SSL). When used with an SSL equipped accessory item, the CODE Auxiliary function
allows you to remotely change accessory Programming Mode values.
For example, when used with the Airtronics Super Vortex ZERO ESC, many of the ESC Programming Mode values, such as
Drag Brake, Timing Advance, and more can be changed remotely from the transmitter while you're driving. In addition, you are
able to rename the different CODE Programming Names (CODE1, CODE2, etc) to make them easier to keep track of.
Individual CODE Auxiliary Programming values (CODE1, CODE2, etc) can be changed while you're driving by assigning
these functions to a Trim Switch, the Rotary Dial or the Auxiliary Lever. For more information, see the Key Assignments
section on pages 53 through 58.
Choosing the CODE Auxiliary Function:
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the SYSTEM menu, then press the ENTER key. Scroll
DOWN to highlight the AUX TYPE menu, then press the ENTER key.

10.TRIM (TRIM AND SERVO SUB-TRIM)
PROGRAM
The Trim function allows you to view the currently programmed Trim value of each of the four channels and, if desired, allows
you to change the Trim values using the Push-Button Rotary Dial from within the Trim menu. In addition to the Trim function,
the Servo Sub-Trim function allows you to fine-tune the Neutral position of each servo.
Trm1 [ST]
Trm2 [TH]
Before changing the Sub-Trim values you should set the Steering
and Throttle Trim to 0 using the Trm1 and Trm2 Trim Switches.
Adjusting the Servo Sub-Trim Values:
It's not unusual that when you center a servo and install the servo horn, the servo horn is not exactly centered. The Sub-Trim
function allows you to center the servo horn exactly, without altering the servo End Point travel. This is especially useful when
using a Mix, such as Four Wheel Steering Mixing. For example, you can use the Sub-Trim function to adjust the Neutral Trim
setting of your Front and Rear Steering servos independently to ensure your Model tracks straight.
PROGRAM
1) Install the servo horn (or servo saver for the Steering servo) onto your servo,
making sure that the servo horn (or servo saver) is as close to being centered
as possible. In some cases, you can get the servo horn closer to being centered
by rotating the servo horn 180º and reinstalling it.
2) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
3) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the TRIM menu, then press the ENTER key. The TRIM
menu will be displayed and [ST]:TRIM 0 will be highlighted.
4) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the desired channel you would like to change
the Sub-Trim value for. Choose from either [ST]:[SUB-T] 0 (Steering), [TH]:[SUB-T] 0
(Throttle), [A1]:[SUB-T] 0 (Auxiliary 1) or [A2]:[SUB-T] 0 (Auxiliary 2).
5) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Sub-Trim
value to center the servo horn.
TRIM SUB-T setting range for the Steering channel is R150 to L150, for the Throttle
channel is H150 to B150 and for Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 and Auxiliary 2 Channel 4 is H150
to L150. The default setting for all channels is 0.
After adjusting the Sub-Trim value, use the End Point Adjustment function to set the desired amount of maximum servo
travel in both directions. For more information, see the End Point Adjustment section on pages 19 through 21.
Adjusting the Trim Values:
The 90478 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of Trim that you set using the Trim Switches is
automatically stored in memory for that specific channel and for that specific model. The Trim values for each model will
automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON.
Before adjusting the Trim values, you should first adjust the servo Sub-Trim values to center the servo horns. For more
information, see the Adjusting the Servo Sub-Trim Values section above.

10.TRIM (TRIM AND SERVO SUB-TRIM)
PROGRAM
1) From within the TRIM menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the desired channel you
would like to change the Trim value for. Choose from either [ST]:[TRIM] 0 (Steering),
[TH]:[TRIM] 0 (Throttle), [A1]:[TRIM] 0 (Auxiliary 1) or [A2]:[TRIM] 0 (Auxiliary 2).
2) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the Trim value in
the desired direction.
TRIM TRIM setting range for the Steering channel is R100 to L100, for the Throttle channel
is H100 to B100 and for Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 and Auxiliary 2 Channel 4 is H100 to L100.
The default setting for all channels is 0.
Controlling the Trim Function:
1) In the default configuration, Trim Switch Trm1 controls the Steering Right and Left Trim and Trim Switch Trm2 controls the
Throttle High and Brake Trim. When you move the Trim Switches, the Trim percentage value changes in 5% increments.
When you use the Trim function to change the Trim value, the Trim value changes in 1% increments.
Auxiliary 1 Trim and Auxiliary 2 Trim can be assigned to the remaining two Trim Switches, the Rotary Dial or the Auxiliary
Lever. For more information, see the Key Assignments section on pages 53 through 58.
Each time you move a Trim Switch a single audible tone is heard. When the Trim value reaches 0 (Centered), an audible
double-tone sounds. This indicates to you that the Trim is centered without the need to look down at the Trim Indicator
on the Top Screen while you're driving.
PRO TIP: The Trim function features two different Trim Type options that you can choose from. Choose from either Center
Trim or Parallel Trim. For more information, see the Trim Type section on page 59.
11.REV (SERVO REVERSING)
PROGRAM
The Servo Reversing function allows you to electronically switch the direction of servo travel. For example, if you rotate the steering
wheel to the right, and the steering servo moves to the left, you can use the Servo Reversing function to make the steering servo
move to the left. The Servo Reversing function is available for all four channels.
Changing the Servo Reversing Values:
1) From the Top Screen, press the ENTER key to open the Programming Menu list.
2) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the REV menu, then press the ENTER key. The REV
menu will be displayed and [ST]:NOR will be highlighted.
