TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS

•
The Steering Wheel (B) operates Channel 1 and when turned anti
clockwise the model should steer to the left and vice versa. If not,
simply the flick the Steering Reverse Switch (H) to the "Rev"
position.
•
The Throttle Trigger (C) operates Channel 2 and when pulled
towards the handset the model should move forwards, when
pushed away it should brake (and then reverse if available),
otherwise simply flick the Throttle Reverse switch (I) to the "Rev"
position.
•
Beneath the folding Control Panel Cover (D) you will find an array
of useful adjustments, plus the Power Switch (P).
•
When the Power Switch (P) is moved left to the 'On' position, the
RED LED (J) lights up, as does the Green LED (K), this shows a
good battery condition.
If the transmitter batteries are weak and the voltage drops below 9V
DC, the green LED flashes to alert you to the possibility that range will
be limited and control might be lost, so new batteries (or a recharge)
are advisable.
•
If model does not track straight, adjust the Steering Trim Dial (M).
•
If model creeps forwards or doesn't sit at Neutral, adjust the
Throttle Trim Dial (N).
•
The Steering Dual Rate Dial (O) controls the total amount of
steering available. If the servo is straining against the steering end
stops, turn it down (clockwise) until it only just achieves maximum
steering lock. If the vehicle exhibits excess steering, or when at
high speed you feel it over reacts to the slightest adjustments, turn
the Steering Dual Rate Dial down yet further until the model
becomes more controllable, but not so far that you struggle to
negotiate the tightest corner on the course. If the servo is
connected to the receiver correctly but the model does not steer at
all, double check the Steering Dual Rate Dial is not at Zero, before
checking for any more serious faults!
