SPEED MENU ( SERVO SPEED )
Adjusting the Return to Neutral Speed Value:
1) Press the DOWN key to highlight RETURN 0.
2) Press the ENTER key, then press the DOWN key to Decrease the Return to Neutral
Speed value. When 0 is selected, the servo will travel at its normal transit speed in
the Return to Neutral direction. When a Negative value is selected, the servo transit
speed will slow down in the Return to Neutral direction.
SPEED RETURN setting range is 0 to -100. The default setting for all channels is 0 (Normal Speed).
CURVE MENU ( ADJUSTABLE RATE CONTROL )
The Curve function allows you to use Adjustable Rate Control (ARC) to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the amount
of control movement near the Neutral positions, to change the way those functions react to control movement.
Decreasing the CURVE Rate percentage value will Soften the control feel around Neutral and Increasing the CURVE Rate
percentage value will Heighten the control feel around Neutral. Using a Lower Negative value allows for smoother control.
Using a Higher Positive value may result in more 'twitchy' control response.
The Curve function uses Adjustable Rate Control, which works like Exponential, except that the Adjustable Rate Control features
the added benefit of being able to move the Neutral Point, whereas Exponential features a fixed Neutral Point. In addition, an
ARC Curve is more Linear than an Exponential Curve.
CURVE Rate percentage values can be adjusted from Mild through Linear to Quick to allow you to set the most effective control
response for your model. For example, if your model over-steers, reduce the Steering CURVE Rate percentage value and if your
model under-steers, Increase the Steering CURVE Rate percentage value. Alternately, reduce the Throttle High Side CURVE
Rate percentage value on a slippery track or with a model that has a higher-torque motor or engine, and Increase the
Throttle High Side CURVE Rate percentage value on a high-grip track or with a model that has a lower-torque motor or engine.
For the utmost in precision control, CURVE Point and Rate values can be adjusted separately for the Throttle High Side and
the Throttle Brake Side. A graph that depicts the control output and ARC Curve relationship is featured to help visualize the
changes you make.
Curve Rate Values for the Steering, Throttle and Brake can be changed while you're driving by Assigning these functions
to a Trim Switch. In addition, the Curve function can be toggled ON and OFF while you're driving by assigning this function
to an Auxiliary Switch. For more information, see the KEY ASSIGN Menu section on pages 56 through 60.
Selecting the Menu and Channel:
1) From within the SETTING menu, press the UP or DOWN keys to highlight the CURVE
menu. CURVE ST RATE 0% will be highlighted.

cursor flashing, then press the UP or DOWN keys to select the CURVE menu.
2) Press the BACK key so that the cursor is flashing over Channel/Options.
3) Press the UP or DOWN keys to highlight the desired channel you would like to
change Rate and Point percentage values for, then press the ENTER key.
