TRANSMITTER
The transmitter (Tx) requires 4 “AA” batteries.
Non-rechargeable alkaline or rechargeable nickel-
cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells
can be used. Do not mix old and new cells, or mix
non-rechargeable alkaline cells with rechargeable
NiCd or NiMH cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND
ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual
for optional rechargeable NiCd and NiMH batteries
and chargers. Note the TTX300 transmitter does
not include a charge jack for rechargeable cells. A
separate “AA” cell charger will be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate an R/C model with weak batteries as
it could result in reduced range and/or possible loss of control!

Press the power switch to turn the Tx on (see figure 2). The “POWER” LED
should illuminate. If not, turn off the Tx and check the batteries to make sure
each cell is firmly in place and in the proper direction. If the Tx LED blinks, the
batteries are low on power and should be replaced.
BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper installation and operation of the 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver
system, it is necessary to “bind” them together electronically. This ensures
sole communication between the two and prevents other transmitters from
being able to control the receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Apply power to the receiver (see the INSTALLATION section that follows
for how to do this).

3
3. If the receiver’s LED flashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already
bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, push
and hold the receiver’s “BIND” button until its LED glows red and then
turns off after about one second.
4. Release the bind button.
5. If the binding is successful, the LED will flash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality by completing the next section. If it
doesn’t seem the radio has bound properly, repeat steps 1-6 above.
INSTALLATION
Receiver: Mount the receiver as specified in your model’s instructions. As a
guideline, mount in a secure location using double-sided tape. Route the servo
wires so they do not interfere with any moving parts. For boat applications,
it’s highly recommended to wrap the receiver in a balloon or enclose it in a
water-tight box.
Servos: See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this
manual for a full list of optional servos. CENTER THE TRIM DIALS on the
Tx. Mount the servos inside the model and connect the linkages to the servo
using an appropriate length servo arm. Make sure all mechanical linkages are
free of obstructions and can move
smoothly. Connect the servos to the
receiver as shown in Figure 3. Turn
the transmitter’s trim dials to finely
adjust the servo’s center point as
needed to match the installation.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC):
If using an electronic speed
control, connect it to channel 2 of
the receiver (throttle). Center the
transmitter’s throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for programming.
Switch / Battery: It may not be necessary to use the included switch harness
and 4-cell battery holder if using an optional electronic speed control (ESC).
Check the instructions with your ESC for further information. Otherwise,
mount the included switch harness into the model as instructed in the model’s
manual and insert the switch harness’s proper mating plug into the receiver’s
“B” slot (top). For off-road environments, it’s a good idea to wrap or enclose
the switch harness to prevent dirt from entering the switch and causing poor
operation. Insert four “AA” alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries in the included
4-cell battery holder (note proper polarity). Connect the battery holder to the
switch harness and the switch harness to the B slot.

SYSTEM CHECK
Turn on the Tx, then the Rx. Make sure all servos operate according to the
movement of the Tx controls (refer to figure 4).
Steering: Turn the steering wheel
left and right. Make sure there are
no obstructions with the steering
servo’s movements, and the servo
moves in the proper direction.
If the steering wheel is turned
to the right but the model turns
left, reverse the position of the
Steering Reversing switch.
Steering Rate: This dial adjusts the limits that the steering servo can travel
on each side. Turning the dial will widen or narrow the steering end points.
Adjusting this dial to your preference can help to customize control of steering
in different applications.
Throttle: Squeeze the throttle trigger to make the car move forward. If the
car moves backwards, reverse the position of the Throttle Reversing switch.
(See the model’s instruction manual for specific set-up instructions.) Push the
trigger forward for reverse or brake function.
Failsafe: This radio system includes a “fail-safe” function, which will
automatically center (bring to neutral) all servos if the receiver loses signal
communications from the transmitter. When the receiver regains signal it will
automatically resume normal function.
Range Check: The “range” or safe operating distance from the Tx to the Rx is
typically as far as you can clearly see the model. Before operating the model,
perform a simple range check to make sure the transmitter maintains good
radio contact with the receiver within your operating area.
SYSTEM CHECK
● NEVER allow water or moisture to make contact with the
electronic components inside the transmitter, receiver,
servos, switch harness, etc.! This could lead to failure or
improper functionality of components and poor control of
vehicle which could pose a safety hazard.
● NEVER operate R/C equipment if you are physically impaired as it could
pose a safety hazard to yourself or others in the area.
● NEVER allow small children to operate/control model R/C equipment
without the supervision of an adult.

● NEVER allow the transmitter’s throttle trigger to accidentally be moved
away from the neutral position while the vehicle is powered up.
● ALWAYS range check the radio system before use.
● ALWAYS make sure that all transmitter movements operate all servos
properly in the model.
● Do not store your radio equipment in extremely hot or cold locations, in
direct sunlight, or in locations with high humidity. Store R/C equipment in
a cool and dry location.
● Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with any parts of the radio
system. Substances such as glow fuel, gasoline, CA glue, etc. could
permanently damage plastic parts of the radio system.
● If rechargeable batteries were installed in the transmitter, remove the
batteries before placing the radio in long-term storage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
RANGE IS SHORT: Interference – check Rx installation and servo connections.
Low Tx or Rx battery – replace the batteries or recharge if applicable. Crash
damage – send the radio to Hobby Services for repair.
RUNTIME IS SHORT: LowTx or Rx batteries – replace the batteries.Obstructed
servo linkages causing excess battery drain – free the linkages/pushrods.
Tx POWER SWITCH ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION: Tx or Rx
batteries are low or – replace the batteries or check Tx or Rx battery polarity.
Switch harness or ESC is connected incorrectly – check all connections and
the ESC instruction manual. Rx is not binded to the Tx properly – perform
binding process again. Rx antenna located too closely to engine, motor,
servos or other moving mechanical parts which might be creating unwanted
electrical noise – relocate the Rx inside the model or relocate the ESC.
INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING: Out of range – operate the
model more closely to the transmitter. Outside radio interference (pagers,
strong industrial or other commercial transmitters in the area) – check your local
R/C club for confirmation of dangerous/interfering frequencies in your area.
CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION: Change the
position of that channel’s reversing switch.
ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES: Servo is bad – replace the servo or send to
Hobby Services for repair.
Contact Hobby Services for other problems.
