transmitter without LCD, please turn the corresponding knob to the
neutral position). For Futaba radio transmitter, the direction of
throttle channel shall be set to “REV”, while other radio systems shall
be set to “NOR”. Please ensure the “ABS braking function” of your
transmitter must be DISABLED.
