Page 52: Steering Speed
STEERING SPEED Steering Speed allows adjustment of the servo transit time to prevent overly sensitive steering response. Adjust by dragging the slider in this menu or assign an on-the-fly button to allow easy adjustment while driving. The default value is 100%.
Page 53: Steering Rate
STEERING RATE Steering rate allows for on-the-fly adjustments of steering travel. Steering rate is assigned to Switch F but can be changed to any available trimmer/switch. The default value is 100%.
Page 54 STEERING OVERRIDE Steering override allows you to bypass the steering rate to momentarily give you a higher or lower rate. This feature is useful if you normally run a lower steering rate and need a little “extra” to get out of a situation. Adjust the slider to program the desired override rate, either higher or lower than the programmed steering rate.
Page 55 AWS MODE AWS (All Wheel Steering) Mode supports 4 types of all wheel steering: • AWS (Opposed): The front wheels turn one direction, and the rear wheels turn the other. The rear steering rate is adjustable. • Crab Mode: Both front and rear wheels turn the same direction.

Page 63 THROTTLE BRAKE/REVERSE RATES Throttle and brake/reverse rate limits the full travel position values. Adjust the value by dragging the slider or fine tune the value by touching the + or – buttons at the ends of the scale. Throttle and brake/reverse rates may be assigned to any trim switch.
Page 64: Traction Control
TRACTION CONTROL Traction Control adjusts the acceleration (ramp) rate providing improved throttle control especially on slippery tracks. • Cutoff Point: Allows the selection of a throttle position where the ramp rate is disengaged when the throttle output is above that point. •...
Page 65 ABS (AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM) ABS helps prevent brake lock-ups and improves braking performance by pulsing the brakes. • Engagement Point: The throttle position that the pulse braking takes place (0 to 100, default is 60). • Pulse Width: The distance the throttle travels during the pulse braking (0 to 100, default is 50).
Page 66: Servo Speed
SERVO SPEED Use the servo speed menu to slow the output speed of the throttle servo. Change the servo speed by dragging the slider to make large adjustments and fine tune the value by touching the the + or – buttons on the ends of the scale.
Page 67 AWD MODE- (MOA) Motor-On-Axle (MOA) programming allows on the fly power distribution from the front to rear wheels. The adjustment ranges from 100% rear 0% front to 0% rear 100% front. The default setting is 50%/50%. This setting can be assigned to a trimmer switch, or programmed and attached to drive modes.
Page 68: Throttle Trim
THROTTLE TRIM Throttle trim adjusts the throttle neutral position. The number of steps each press of the trim button affects the throttle trim, as well as the button assignment, is adjusted in this menu. The default value is +9 and is assigned to trimmer A.
Page 69 IDLE UP Used with gas engines, Idle Up advances the throttle’s idle position allowing for easier cold engine starting. Idle up can be assigned to any trimmer or switch. When idle up is available, an alert can be programmed warning when idle up is active. See the Alerts section for information on how to create the idle up alert.
Page 70: Channel Properties
AUXILIARY (AUX) CHANNEL SETUP Similar to the steering and throttle brake/ reverse menus, the AUX setup menu allows for programming of any auxiliary channel functions added in the model setup process: • Travel • Input Control • Subtrim • Servo Speed •...

Page 83: Avc ® (Active Vehicle Control)
(ACTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL) ® technology is available, only when an ® AVC capable receiver is selected. Enable/Disable Turn AVC on or off. STEERING GAIN The default value is 50%. As the value increases, the AVC steering stability increases. If the front wheels begin to shake, the ST Gain value is too high.
Page 84: Throttle Gain
THROTTLE GAIN The default value is 50%. As the value increases, the throttle management increases.
Page 85 PRIORITY The default value is 0%, meaning AVC technology is active throughout the steering range. As you turn the steering wheel away from center (neutral), the transmitter controls have priority over the AVC system. Increasing the Priority value decreases how active AVC is as the steering wheel is turned left and right.
Page 86 BINDING Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the specific transmitter’s code called GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) and storing failsafe values. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will only respond to that specific transmitter/ model memory.
Page 87 To bind the transmitter to a receiver 1. Touch the Desired Frame Rate drop down to select from 5.5ms, 11ms and 22ms. • 5.5ms is only available on certain receivers from the model setup procedure. Check your receiver manual for more information. •...
Page 88: Drive Modes
DRIVE MODES Drive modes allow for different setups for a particular model.

Page 91 LAUNCH CONTROL Start Button The start button controls the start of the Launch Control sequence. There are two common ways to use the start button: • As a hand brake: Press and hold the assigned button to disable the throttle channel.
Page 92 • As a pre-launch stage: When you are on the starting line, ready to run, tap the button to start the Launch Control sequence. The alert selected for the launch sequence will activate and continue until the sequence runs. When the race starts, pull full throttle to begin the run.
Page 93 Curve Selector Curve Selector allows the selection of a different launch curve with the touch of the selected switch. This may be configured to as many positions as the selected switch supports. When set to None a total of five curves are available, and the curve selected is specified in the Active Curve field.
Page 94 LAUNCH CURVE Duration Select the total duration time of the launch control sequence, up to 5.0 seconds. Curve The default launch curve has 4 points. The first and last points will always be at 0,0 and 100,100 respectively and are not adjustable. The horizontal value represents time as a percentage of the total sequence duration.
Page 95 Add up to 4 additional points (8 total) to the curve by touching the the curve where you wish to add a point. Change the position of the points by first touching the point to be adjusted, then dragging the Time or Power slider to make major value changes and the + or –...
Page 96 LAUNCH CONTROL TIPS Start Button: set to any available switch that is easily accessible. An easy way to select the switch is to choose the option and press the button/trimmer on your transmitter to automatically change it to the switch of your choice. Launch control must be activated before every run down the track, so remember to hit the start button before every run.
Page 97 Mode to an open switch in the Drive Mode menu and select how many drive modes you would like to use, before proceeding to assign it in the Launch Control menu. We use the “I” switch next to the knob as it’s easy to toggle at the line and is not easy to accidently change.
