First of all, let me just say "Thank You!" for choosing the Tower Hobbies
1.1 x 0.5 x 1.1" 2TS, because we feel it offers you, the Tower Hobbies customer, one of the very best values available in a car, boat or airplane system.
We don't say that on the strength of the price alone; we also say it because of the many (and sometimes, subtle) features it offers. In fact, one of its
0.9 x 0.4 x 0.8"
most important features is one you can't see: durability. The 2TS's receiver features vibration-resistant surface-mount components to protect it against the
1.6 x 0.8 x 1.4"
bumps and jolts that are inevitable in fast-paced R/C action. And of course, the receiver and transmitter are robotically assembled, to ensure top-quality
construction.
1.6 x 0.8 x 1.4"
It's quality you can feel right from the start, in the solid way the 2TS meets your grasp. The transmitter is surprisingly lightweight and balanced in your
2.3 x 1.1 x 2.0"
hands – just right for hours of fatigue-free fun. But as always, the true test of any tool is how well it performs – and that's where the 2TS excels. It offers
2.6 x 1.2 x 2.3" exceptional steering and throttle control, with an adjustable neutral position on the throttle stick. Red and green LEDs provide instant and accurate power
status, along with warning you when battery power is low. And because the receiver features BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuitry), you can reduce your
1.6 x 0.8 x 1.5"
model's mass by the weight of a receiver battery – ideal for getting the last ounce of speed and run time out of every pack.
1.6 x 0.8 x 1.4"
And with the performance come 2TS conveniences. Servo reversing for installation ease. Trims that are easy to find and adjust. A retractable antenna,
switch harness, frequency flags, support and help from our Tower Hobbies' Tech Staff – and a full, 1-year warranty on all parts and labor. The 2TS has
1.6 x 0.8 x 1.5"
every one of these features – and as a 2TS owner, you have it all! Again, thanks for buying from Tower Hobbies. Enjoy!

NOTE: This Quick Reference Guide is a condensed version of all information given in this manual. We strongly recommend you first read this
entire manual before operating your System 3000 R/C system.
1. Install 8-AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter's battery holder located on the front of the transmitter. Be sure to install the batteries in
the direction shown on the battery holder.
2. Install 4-AA batteries in the receiver battery holder.
3. Connect servos, 4-cell battery pack and switch harness to the receiver as shown above.
4. Turn on the transmitter, then turn on the receiver switch harness.
5. Center the steering and throttle trim adjustments and make sure all servos operate according to transmitter movements.
6. Turn off the system, receiver first, then transmitter.
7. Install the entire radio system into your model as shown in the model's instruction manual (see above for proper channel usage).
8. If you need to reverse the direction in which a servo rotates, remove the battery door on the front of the transmitter and locate the reversing
switch for that particular channel and slide it to the "R" position.
9. With the transmitter antenna collapsed, you should maintain smooth control of your model from at least 30 feet away. If not, refer to the
2TS's Troubleshooting Guide on page 3.
