are straight ahead.
TH. Trim Dial : Make sure the model stays still when releasing the Throttle Trigger.
Steering Reverse : Reverse the response direction when operating Steering Wheel.
Throttle Reverse : Reverse the response direction when operating Throttle Trigger.
* In general, user will experience under steer when making a wide turn at high speed
or over steer when making sharp turn at high speed (easy to spin out). User should
practice the Throttle and steering approach for di erent cornering at di erent speed
or road surface.
