Switch
Reversing is used to change the response direction of steering wheel and throttle trigger.
CTX-2710 Transmitter features 2 reversing functions: Steering Reverse and Throttle Reverse.
Steering Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating steering wheel.
Turning left steering wheel, the model turns right while turning right the model turns left.
Throttle Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating throttle trigger.
Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while pulling back, the
model moves forward. If necessary you can just use a small screwdriver to adjust the
or responding switches.
CTX-2710 features two trimming functions:
Steering Trim and Throttle Trim.
Steering Trim Dial :
Adjust the neutral position of steering servo
when the wheels are straight ahead.
Normally steering trim is adjusted until the
model can keep straight tracks.
Throttle Trim Dial :
Adjust neutral position of throttle servo.
Make sure the model stays still when
releasing the throttle trigger.
Dual Rate Dial enables to adjust the same maximum steering angle of servo on both
sides (Left and Right) when model makes steering. The Dual Rate Dial aects the
sensitivity of servo. Reducing dual rate value can lower the sensitivity of servo and
reduce the same maximum steering angle on both sides. Remember to adjust the
dual rate value within the adjustment range.
