Install the receiver, servo, and ESC (in the case of an
electric car) onto your machine and connect them. Install
the receiver while taking noise into consideration (p.10).
Install batteries into the transmitter's battery box (p.9).
In the case of an electric car, install battery pack. In the
case of a glow engine car, install battery for receiver.
For 2.4GHz systems, conduct pairing of the transmitter
and receiver (see right column).
In order for the receiver to operate, it must store the
transmitter's unique ID in its memory in a process called
“pairing.” Even if a single transmitter is used to control
multiple receivers, each receiver must go through the
pairing process with the transmitter before being used for
the rst time.
Adjust steering(p.20)and throttle/braking(p.25).
Set the Fail-Safe Function.
Preparing the Receiver
Connect the receiver power source
while pressing the setup button.
Check that the receiver's LED has lit
up, then release the setup button.
Check that the receiver's LED lights up
again (indicating pairing completion)
When pairing is complete, pressing
the ENTER key on the transmitter
will return the screen to the previous
[2.4Gband] menu.
Switch off the receiver, then switch it
back on again for normal operations.
The preparations below are to be carried
out following the pairing procedure.
Preparations for Operation
Switch off the receiver.
Press the ENTER key on the
transmitter, then press the BACK key
twice to return to the initial screen.
Switch on the receiver and check
that the receiver LED is lit. If the LED
ashes, the receiver is not getting
the transmitter signal and the pairing
procedure should be repeated.
Preparing the Transmitter
Switch on the transmitter.
Press the ENTER key at the startup screen. (Main Menu
display)
Use the jog dial to move the cursor to [System], then press
the ENTER key.
Move the cursor to [2.4Gband] on the System Menu
screen, then press the ENTER key.
Move the cursor to (START) on the 2.4Gband screen, then
press the ENTER key.
Images of the transmitter and receiver will display and the
arrow ow can be checked. (In this state, the transmitter is
transmitting the pairing signal.)
Carefully read the instructions included with the servo and
ESC before installing and using them.
During this process, your car may become uncontrollable if the

●Fail-Safe Setting
Fail-safe is when the receiver loses the radio signal of the transmitter
and the function keeps channel 2 (throttle) in an optional position.
The conguration is usually full brake or neutral.
This function works for only 2nd channel.
Turn on the transmitter.
Turn on the receiver and verify operation.
Recommended positions are the following :
Full Brake

■ Procedures Prior to Operation
1.Switching On
After ensuring that it is safe to do so, switch on the transmitter followed by the receiver.
2.Model Conrmation
Conrm the model which will be used.
3.Checking Movements
With the model's wheels lifted off the ground, operate transmitter to check for proper
movement. While driving, use steering and throttle trims to make ne adjustments. Drive in a
gure 8 pattern to check steering balance.
This product uses the FHSS transmission system, which switches between frequencies in the2.4GHz range at a high speed.
FRANCE Mode needs to be selected if this product is to be used in France, while other countries should use GENERAL Mode.
(If the mode is switched between GENERAL and FRANCE, pairing procedure must be done with the receiver again.)
4.Switching Off
After a driving session, switch off the receiver, followed by the transmitter. Remove the
battery pack from the model.
After switching off, wait at least 5 seconds before switching on again to ensure proper operation.
An alarm will sound if the controls are idle for **minutes. Operate the transmitter to stop the alarm.

The sub trim is a convenient feature but it could also complicate the setting process if used incorrectly. Use the sub trim in the correct
manner while also referring to the sub trim operation instructions on p.21 and p.26.
[Purpose of the Trim]
When a servo is to be mounted onto a model, it is usually connected to the
receiver temporarily to enable the transmitter to check its neutral position
before it is installed. However, upon running the model it is often the case
that it does not run in a straight line and the steering servo's neutral position
has to be readjusted. This adjustment function is known as the “trim,” but trim
adjustment is not only done at the beginning, but it also must be done during
model operation to account for factors such as tire wear and chassis warp.
However, using the normal trim to make these intermediary adjustments could
cause other problems. In the case of the steering trim, it could lead to different
turning radii for the left and right wheels. For throttle trims on glow engine cars,
the point of maximum braking, the full open position of the carburetor, etc.
would be shifted. For this reason, the normal trims are designated as “center
trims” that only adjust the neutral position, while a new function called sub trim
is used in conjunction to enable the most optimal settings.
[Purpose of the Sub Trim]
The effect of the sub trim is illustrated in the image on the right. Adjusting
the sub trim also moves the left/right angle range. In contrast, the center
trim moves the neutral position without changing the angle range position.
However, trying to compensate the neutral position while making large sub
trim adjustments may throw off the model's left/right balance.
[Actual Setting Sequence]
When installing R/C equipment, the servo's neutral position is set first,
then nal adjustments would be made with the sub trim after installation.
However, if the sub trim setting value is high, adjust the neutral position
again.
Test run to conrm neutral position. Adjustments during this time should also
be made with the sub trim. After neutral position is xed, adjust steering
balance (p.21) so that the left and right wheels have the same turning
radius and use steering travel (p.20) to adjust overall steering angle.
During the course of practice or racing, use the center trim to correct slight
changes to the neutral position. If the setting value becomes high, correct
in conjunction with the sub trim so that the center trim value is zero.
Use the sub trim to adjust settings prior to driving instead of the center trim.
P
Install R/C equipment when the sub trim setting value becomes low.
P
If the neutral position becomes slightly off during driving, use center trim to correct.
