1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY *U.S.A. and Canada Only
Tactic warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of
purchase. During that period, Tactic will, at its option, repair or replace without service charge any product deemed defective
due to those causes. You will be required to provide proof of purchase (invoice or receipt). This warranty does not cover
damage caused by abuse, misuse, alteration or accident. If there is damage stemming from these causes within the stated
warranty period, Tactic will, at its option, repair or replace it for a service charge not greater than 50% of its then currant retail
list price. Be sure to include your daytime telephone number in case we need to contact you about your repair. This warranty
gives you specific rights.You may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
The transmitter (Tx) requires 4 “AA” batteries. Do not mix old and new cells. Do not mix alkaline, standard or rechargeable
batteries. To install the batteries, slide open the battery door on the bottom of the Tx (see figure 1). Install the batteries in
the holder following the configuration molded into the case, making sure to note the proper polarities on each cell. Close the
battery door.
Turn the Tx power switch on (see figure 2).The “BATT” LED should illuminate. If not, turn off the Tx and check the configuration
of the batteries to make sure each cell is firmly in place and in the proper direction. If the red LED blinks, the batteries are low
on power and should be replaced. DO NOT OPERATE AN R/C VEHICLE WITH LOW BATTERIES AS IT COULD RESULT
IN REDUCED RANGE AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MODEL.
During normal operation, always keep the Tx antenna in the up position.

SERVOS Because there are a variety of specific applications
for servos in R/C modeling, different servos are designed for
different applications. For each servo, use a servo horn long
enough to accommodate the entire range of movement for that
particular control.
RECEIVER, SWITCH HARNESS AND RECEIVER BATTERY
Insert 4-AA alkaline batteries into the receiver battery holder in the
direction shown on the battery holder. After the servos and receiver
are mounted into your model per the model’s manual, connect the
servos and switch harness to the receiver where shown. The servo
connectors are polarized to prevent improper connection. Pay close
attention when connecting them to the receiver. If you are using
an electronic speed control (ESC), connect the ESC’s throttle lead
to channel 2 in the receiver and refer to the ESC’s instructions for
further set-up details (the battery holder and switch harness should
be omitted when using an ESC). Center the steering and throttle
trim adjustments (see figure 2) before installing servo horns.
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Turn on the receiver. If the receiver is not bound, the LED light will not be on.
3. Push and hold the bind button on the receiver until the light glows red and then off (about one second).
4. Release the bind button.
5. If the binding is successful, the LED will flash once and then remain ON.
Turn on the Tx, then the Rx. Make sure all
servos operate according to the movement
of the Tx controls.
STEERING Move the steering control left
and right. Be sure there is no binding and
that the steering controls move in the proper
direction (see figure 4). If the steering wheel
is turned to the right but the model turns left,
move the steering reversing switch to the “R”
position, and vice-versa.
STEERING RATE This adjustment (see figure 4), is used to fine tune the steering servo throw. The steering rate knob
allows you to increase/decrease the amount of steering travel.
THROTTLE Squeeze the throttle trigger. If the throttle servo moves in the wrong direction, move the throttle reversing
switch to the “R” position. (See the model’s instruction manual for specific set-up instructions.)
