  • Page 13: C) Resetting The Transmitter To Factory Settings

    • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the "STK.CAL." indication will stop flashing. • The transmitter is ready for operation again. If one of the end positions has not been saved correctly, you will not be able to exit the calibration mode; the transmitter will vibrate briefly (similar to the vibration alarm of a smartphone) and emit a warning beep. Then proceed as described above and bring the steering wheel (4) and the throttle/brake lever (6) into their respective end positions.

  • Page 14: E) Pairing The Receiver With The Transmitter (Binding Function)

    e) Pairing the receiver with the transmitter (binding function) The manufacturer has already paired the included receiver with the transmitter. However, if you would like to pair another receiver or if you have reset the transmitter to factory settings, the receiver must first be paired with the transmitter (also known as "binding") before it can respond to the transmitter's control commands.

  • Page 15: Receiver

    11. Receiver a) Connection The receiver (C) can be connected to up to 6 servos (A), CH1 – CH6 connections, as well as a receiver power supply (B) and "BIND" port. The connections are designed for polarity-proof Futaba connectors and can also be used with JR connectors, if necessary.

  • Page 16: B) Installation

    b) Installation The installation of the receiver depends on the model. For this reason, you should always follow the recommendations of the model manufacturer regarding receiver installation. If you want to use the integrated gyro sensor iin the receiver (SVC function of the transmitter will be enabled), the receiver must be mounted horizontally (max.

  • Page 17: D) Calibrating The Gyro Sensor

    d) Calibrating the gyro sensor The receiver has a built-in gyro sensor. It can be used to automatically counter-steer (SVC function of the transmitter) a car model in case the rear is swerving (oversteer). The gyro sensor is already factory-calibrated; however, you can also calibrate it yourself. Proceed as follows: • Switch off the transmitter (it must not be switched on during calibration of the gyro sensor).

  • Page 18: Installing The Servos

    12. Installing the Servos The installation of a servo (A) always depends on the model used. For specific information, refer to the design documents of the model. However, generally you should try to fasten the servos with screws in such a way that vibrations are minimised. For this purpose, servos are usually provided with rubber grommets (B) with metal sleeves (C).

  • Page 19: Transmitter Setup Menu

    13. Transmitter setup menu a) General information After switching on the transmitter (see chapter 9. b), the transmitter will emit a beep, the display indication will appear and the display backlight will be enabled. The display backlight will automatically go out in a few seconds if the knob or the "BACK"...

  • Page 20: C) "Model" Function: Selecting Model Memory

    c) "MODEL" function: Selecting model memory The transmitter has a total of 20 model memories (01 – 20). This provides the opportunity to operate up to 20 car models. Please note that a receiver can only be paired with one model memory at a time. If you have several vehicles, each with its own built-in receiver, first select a model memory and then pair the receiver with the transmitter.

  • Page 21: D) "Name" Function: Changing The Model Memory Name

    d) "NAME" function: changing the model memory name A 4-digit name can be entered for each of the 20 model memories. The letters A – Z and the numbers 0 – 9 are available. Proceed as follows: • If you have not already done so, first select the desired model memory; see chapter 13. c). • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the MODEL function will be greyed out. • Turn the knob (14) to the left or right until the NAME function is greyed out, as shown in the right figure.

  • Page 22: E) "Rev" Function: Reverse Setting

    e) "REV" function: reverse setting It may be necessary to change the direction of rotation of a servo or to reverse the reaction of the speed controller depending on the model installation position and linkage. The reverse setting can be made separately for each of the 6 channels of the transmitter. Proceed as follows: • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the MODEL function will be greyed out.

  • Page 23: F) "Epa" Function: Setting The Maximum Servo Deflection

    f) "EPA" function: setting the maximum servo deflection This function can be used to determine the maximum permissible deflection for the steering, throttle or auxiliary servo on each side (EPA = "end point adjustment"). This feature is typically used to protect the mechanical system of a fully deflected servo from hitting an obstacle mechanically. You can set a value from 0% to 120%. The smaller the value, the shorter the servo way on the corresponding side.
  • Page 24 • Turn the knob (14) to the left or right to adjust the servo deflection in the range of 0% to 120%, as shown in the top right figure. • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the setting value for the servo deflection will stop flashing. The current setting is saved. If you want to set the servo deflection in the other direction (or for another channel), start over (briefly press the knob, then select a channel, etc.). If no indication is flashing, you can select another function to be changed by turning the knob (14). To exit the setup menu instead, briefly press the "BACK" button (13). The transmitter will emit a short beep, and the greyed out field will disappear from functions at the top of the display. The transmitter is back in its normal mode.

  • Page 25: G) "Sub-Tr" Function: Adjusting The Servo Centre

    g) "SUB-TR" function: adjusting the servo centre When installing the servos, the model manufacturer usually describes the exact central position for the servo levers. However, the cogs on the servo lever may not always allow the exact positioning of the servo lever if the operating levers and the corresponding trim are in the central positionon the transmitter.

  • Page 26: H) "D/R" Function: Dual Rate Setting

    h) "D/R" function: dual rate setting You can use this function to set the servo travel for channel 1 (steering servo) and channel 2 (throttle/brake servo or speed controller). For example, it can be used to limit the maximum steering angle, which makes it easier to steer the vehicle when driving faster, as it reacts more sensitively.

  • Page 27: I) "Exp" Function: Exponential Setting

    i) "EXP" function: exponential setting You can use the exponential setting to change the linear pairing between the control transmitter and the servo travel in the middle position range. The maximum possible servo deflection (servo end positions) is not limited by the setting of the exponential function. The servo travels may be stronger or weaker in the middle position range depending on the value set.

  • Page 28: J) "Abs" Function: Abs Brakes

    j) "ABS" function: ABS brakes With the ABS function, you can optimise the braking behaviour of your model car. The brake function is clocked electronically to prevent blocking the wheels when braking in a curve. In a "real" car, special wheel sensors and electronics detect blocked wheels. Reduce the brake pressure on individual wheels so that a blocked wheel can rotate again.
  • Page 29 • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the relevant setting value will flash at the bottom right of the display. • To change the value, turn the knob (14). • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the indication will stop flashing. The current setting is saved. If desired, you can now select another function to be changed by turning the knob (14). To exit the setup menu instead, briefly press the "BACK" button (13). The transmitter will emit a short beep, and the greyed out field will disappear from functions at the top of the display. The transmitter is back in its normal mode.

  • Page 30: K) "Trim" Function: Trimming

    k) "TRIM" function: Trimming In addition to the "SUB-TR" function for setting the servo middle position, the trimming function is used , for example, to set the straight-line stability of the vehicle. The trimming for channel 1 (steering) and channel 2 (throttle/brake servo or speed controller) can also be set with the rocker buttons (5 + 3) on the right-hand side of the transmitter.

  • Page 31: L) "F.safe" Function: Switching Failsafe On/Off

    l) "F.SAFE" function: switching failsafe on/off As a special feature, the receiver has a failsafe function for all 6 channels. You can programme a specific servo posi- tion for each channel to be called up if the transmitter signal fails (for example, the throttle/brake servo runs at 100% brake in a car with an internal combustion engine). The programming takes place directly in the transmitter and is then transmitted to the receiver.

  • Page 32: M) "Crawl" Function: Crawler Mode

    m) "CRAWL" function: Crawler mode Here you can set the steering mode for a crawler vehicle. This is for a vehicle built specifically for manoeuvring tests. For this purpose, crawler vehicles usually have steerable front and rear axles. The steering of the front and rear axles is controlled via a separate steering servo. This function enables you to switch between front axle steering, rear axle steering, reverse steering or co-steering of the two axles.

  • Page 33: N) "Svc" Function: Gyro Function

    n) "SVC" function: gyro function The receiver has a built-in gyro sensor. It can be used to intervene in the steering or the throttle function (throttle/brake servo or speed controller) so that the vehicle does not oversteer. Proceed as follows: • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the MODEL function will be greyed out.
  • Page 34 "Priority": oversteering the gyro function by steering movements When "Priority" flashes, briefly press the knob (14). You can now adjust the extent to which the gyro function will be affected by "desired" steering movements by turning the knob (14). Briefly press the knob (14) to confirm. The higher the setting value, the lower the effect of the gyro function on the actual steering movements with the steering wheel (4). Steering movements with the steering wheel (4) thus take precedence over the gyro sensor. • If you press the knob (14) briefly, the indication will stop flashing. The current crawler mode setting will be saved.

  • Page 35: Checking The Steering And Driving Functions

    14. Checking the steering and driving functions a) Steering function Place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can rotate freely and the vehicle is secure. Do not touch rotating or moving parts. There is a risk of injury! First switch on the transmitter and, if you have not already done so, set the trimming for the driving and steering functions in the middle position.

  • Page 36: B) Drive Function

    b) Drive function If you pull the throttle/brake lever (6) all the way to the handle, the model should accelerate. If you push the throttle/ brake lever forward away from the handle, the model should brake or switch to reverse travel. If the drive of your model behaves exactly the opposite, then you can enable the reverse setting for the driving function.

  • Page 37: Maintenance And Cleaning

    15. Maintenance and cleaning This product does not require maintenance. Never disassemble it (except for the procedure for inserting the batteries into the transmitter described in these operating instructions).
