Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Binding and Calibrating the Receiver
The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. To rebind:
1. Power off the transmitter and receiver.
2. Insert the bind plug into the BIND port on the receiver.
3. Power on the receiver. The LED in the receiver flashes rapidly, indicating that the
receiver is in bind mode.
4. With the throttle in neutral, power on the transmitter while pressing the bind
button. The LED in the receiver turns solid when binding is complete.
5. Remove the bind plug from the receiver after binding is complete.
You must rebind when binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost during use, the receiver will
drive the servos to their failsafe positions (the bind settins are the failsafe settings).
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the transmitter, the receiver will
enter this failsafe mode. When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is
resumed.
Changing the Travel Adjust Settings
The travel function supports precise endpoint adjustments in each direction for the
steering and throttle channels. Ensure the ST RATE knob is all the way up.
1. Hold the trigger in the full brake position and steering wheel in the full right
position while powering on the transmitter. The LED flashes rapidly, indicating
the programming mode is active.
2. Throttle End Point: Hold the trigger in the full throttle position. Turn the TH
TRIM knob to adjust the full throttle end point.
3. Brake End Point: Hold the trigger in the full brake position. Turn the TH TRIM
knob to adjust the full brake end point. Return the trigger to the center position.
Adjusting Steering and Throttle Trims

Steering Trim

The model should go straight without turning the steering wheel. If not,
turn the ST TRIM knob in the direction needed for the model to go straight.
LOSI 8IGHT/8IGHT-T RTR • INSTRUCTION MANUAL
NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and receiver if there
are other compatible transmitters in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing
so may result in unexpected binding.
IMPORTANT: Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the
transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power
decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.
4. Left Steering End Point: Hold the steering wheel in the full left position. Turn
the ST TRIM knob to adjust the left end point.
5. Right Steering End Point: Hold the steering wheel in the full right position.
Turn the ST TRIM knob to adjust the right end point. Return the steering
wheel to the center position.
6. Power off the transmitter to save the travel adjust settings. The minimum
travel is 75% and the maximum travel is 150%. The default travel settings
are 125% steering and 100% throttle.
