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 page XX.
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 Adjustment section on pages XX through XX.
To adjust the steering wheel spring tension, follow the step below:
1) To increase the spring tension of the steering wheel (firmer), use a
1.5mm hex wrench to turn the Steering Wheel Tension Adjustment
Screw (A) clockwise. To decrease the spring tension of the steering
wheel (looser), turn the Steering Wheel Tension Adjustment Screw
counter-clockwise.
A
The spring tension of the throttle trigger and steering wheel can be adjusted to best suit the user. Some users may prefer the
throttle trigger and/or steering wheel to feel 'firmer' and some users may prefer them to feel 'softer'. It all depends on your
personal preference.
A
To adjust the throttle trigger spring tension, follow the step below:
1) To increase the spring tension of the throttle trigger (firmer), use a
1.5mm hex wrench to turn the Throttle Trigger Tension Adjustment
Screw (A) clockwise. To decrease the spring tension of the throttle
trigger (looser), turn the Throttle Trigger Tension Adjustment Screw
counter-clockwise.
A wrist strap anchor is included that can be installed onto the transmitter to facilitate the use of a wrist strap (not included).

B
To install the wrist strap anchor, follow the steps below:
1) Remove the self-tapping screw (A) from the transmitter, using a # 1 philips
head screwdriver.
2) Slide the wrist strap anchor into the mounting slot in the back of the
transmitter, then reinstall and tighten the self-tapping screw.
When installing the wrist strap anchor, note its orientation. The U-Shaped
groove in the base of the wrist strap anchor should be pointing down.

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.
Before beginning the Binding process, connect your servos and receiver battery pack to the receiver. For more information,
see the
Receiver Connections and Mounting
section on page XX. The transmitter and the receiver should be turned OFF.
4) While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver,
turn the receiver ON. The Bind LED on the receiver will
flash slowly. After approximately 2 seconds, release the
Bind Button. The Bind LED on the receiver will continue to
flash slowly.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding:
1) Turn the transmitter ON. The TOP screen will be displayed. Press the ENTER key (Push-Button Rotary Dial) to open the
Programming Menu list, then scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the SYSTEM menu.
5) Press the ENTER key. The [ENTER] command will begin to flash and the Bind LED on
the receiver will flash rapidly, then go out.
6) After the Bind LED on the receiver goes out, press the ENTER key a second time. The Bind LED on the receiver will illuminate
solid blue and LED 2 on the transmitter will go out, indicating that the Binding procedure is complete and a Telemetry
connection has been made.
Verify that the Modulation is set to [RF MODE]: FH4T is displayed an that the Servo Operating Mode for each channel is set
to NOR. If it isn't, change the Modulation Type to FH4T. If you need to change any of these settings, see the
BIND Menu
section on pages XX through XX.
3) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the [ENTER] command. Do not press the ENTER key yet.
7) Move the steering wheel and throttle trigger to verify that the servos are operating normally, then press and HOLD the
Back/Cancel key to return to the TOP screen.
When the Binding procedure is successful, the Bind LED on the receiver and LED 1 on the transmitter will illuminate solid
blue. If the Bind LED on the receiver is flashing rapidly or is not illuminated at all, the transmitter and receiver are not
paired. In this case, turn both the transmitter and receiver OFF, then repeat the Binding procedure again.

Changing the Auxiliary Lever Function
In general, the Auxiliary Lever is used to control Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 or Auxiliary 2 Channel 4. Adjusting the High and Low
Tweak values determines how far and in which direction the Auxiliary servo travels when the Auxiliary Lever is moved Up
and Down. For example, if you assign AUX2 to the Auxiliary Lever and adjust the Tweak values to +50 and -50, the Auxiliary
2 servo will be centered when the Auxiliary Lever is centered and will travel 50% in one direction when the Auxiliary Lever
is moved Up and travel 50% in the other direction when the Auxiliary Lever is moved Down. This allows you to use the
Auxiliary Lever like a 2- or 3-position switch.
In addition, the Auxiliary Lever can be used to control the same parameter functions as the Trim Switches and the Rotary
Dial. For example, if you assign TRIM-ST and adjust the Tweak values to +100 and -100, the Auxiliary Lever will control
Steering channel Trim. The direction and amount the Trim moves when you move the Auxiliary Lever Up or Down is

The Trim Type function allows you choose the way servo Trim and servo End Point Adjustments interact with each other.
When you apply Trim to a servo, the Neutral point of the servo shifts toward the High Side or the Low Side. When you do
this, the servo travels less in one direction and more in the other direction because the servo End Points are stationary. In
order to balance the servo travel, you would need to manually readjust the servo End Points. Using the Trim Type function
allows you to make the servo End Points shift toward the High Side or the Low Side when you apply Trim. This maintains

ing so may result in a weakened RF signal or complete loss of control of your model.
Antenna Reception Wire: The portion of the receiver antenna that receives the transmitter signal. The Antenna Reception
Wire should never be bent or it could be damaged and limit the range of your model.
Anti-Lock Braking: Makes it possible to achieve stable braking even on slippery surfaces. With stable braking, your
model is better able to trace an exact line under braking.
ARC: Adjustable Rate Control (ARC) allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the steer-
ing wheel, throttle trigger and auxiliary lever near the Neutral positions to change the way those functions react to control
movement. The position that the Rate can be controlled from is adjustable along the length of control travel.
Audible Key Tone: An audible tone that is emitted from the transmitter each time the Push-Button Rotary Dial, Trim
Switch, Push-Button Switch or Rotary Dial is used.
Auxiliary Lever: The Auxiliary Lever is programmable and will perform a different function depending on what function is
assigned to it. For example, it can be used to control Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 or to control the Servo Speed function. The Aux-
iliary Lever features a detent and an audible tone to let you know it's in the Neutral position.
Auxiliary Lever Position Display: Displays the current position of the Auxiliary Lever on the TOP screen.
Auxiliary Mixing: Allows you to Mix either Steering Channel 1 or Throttle Channel 2 to Auxiliary 1 Channel 3 or Auxiliary

Trim Switch: The transmitter features four separate Trim Switches positioned around the steering wheel (Trm1, Trm2,
Trm3 and Trm4). Each Trim Switch is programmable and will perform a different function depending on what function is
assigned to it. For example, Trm1 and Trm2 can be used to adjust steering and throttle Trim and Trm4 and Trm5 can be
used to adjust Dual Rate and steering EPA.
Trim Step Resolution: Used to adjust how far the servos travel when the Trim Switches are pressed. You can increase
the resolution, so that the servos travel less when you press the Trim Switches. This makes it possible to fine-tune the set-
tings extremely accurately. In addition, you could decrease the resolution, so that the servos travel more when you press
the Trim Switches. This setting may not be as accurate, although you can set large amounts of Trim faster.
Variable Rate Adjustment: The Variable Rate Adjustment function allows you to recalibrate the operation of the Steering,
Throttle and Auxiliary Lever End Points and Neutral positions to ensure precise control operation.
Voltage Alert Alarm: The Voltage Alert alarm will sound when the receiver battery in your model reaches the Alert Volt-
age value you've programmed in the SYSTEM - TELEMETRY menu. To clear this alarm, press the Back/Cancel key or the
Push-Button Rotary Dial.
Voltage Alert Indicator: Indicates the currently programmed Voltage value on the Telemetry Screen that the receiver
Voltage Alert alarm will sound at.
Voltage Display Monitor: Displays the current receiver battery voltage on the Telemetry Screen in bar graph format.
