Page 9
Warning
9
For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others
Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited.
Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control
may occur.
Do not operate in the following places.
-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.
-Near people or roads.
-On any pond when passenger boats are present.
-Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.
Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in
serious injury.
Operation Precautions
Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as
others.
Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat
while the model is operating or immediately after its use.
These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.
Extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.
If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended, the operating range of the radio will be reduced.
Always perform an operating range check prior to use.
Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control.
(Simple range test method)
Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with
any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should
you notice any abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the
model in use.
Turning on the power switches.
Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position.
1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.
2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch.
Turning off the power switches
Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped.
1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a
very dangerous situation.
Check the transmitter antenna to be sure it is not loose.
If the transmitter antenna works loose, or is disconnected while the model is running, signal transmission will be lost.
This will cause you to lose control of the model. Rotate the antenna softly with your fingers when checking whether it is
loosely or firmly fixed. Do not screw the antenna forcibly. Otherwise its antenna-holding part can be damaged.
When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor discon-
nected.
You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others
(Only when Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries are used)
Ni-MH / Ni-Cd Battery Handling Precautions
Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage.
Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire.
Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet.
You may get an electric shock.
Do not use the transmitter's battery, HT5F1700B, as the receiver's battery.
Since the transmitter's battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current load is applied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash.
Do not use commercial AA size Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries.
Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder.
Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.
Do not drop the battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations.
The battery may short circuit and overheat; electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.
When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery.
Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power
switch. Loss of control could occur.
(Fail safe function)
Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.
Check Method; Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:
1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.
2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail
safe data to the receiver every minute.)
3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.
The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when
reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was
used to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.
Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position
Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model.
Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation.
To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose.
Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many
other types of injuries.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others
Storage and Disposal Precautions
Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. Ni-Cd batteries
can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
Do not throw Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also do
not disassemble or modify a battery pack.
Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other
injuries.
When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with HT5F1700B batteries
in a discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used.
If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the Ni-Cd battery may considerably reduce the capacity . A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)
<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in
your eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause
blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.
Do not store your R/C system in the following places.
- Where it is extremely hot or cold.
- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Where the humidity is high.
-Where vibration is prevalent.
-Where dust is prevalent.
-Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous problems with operation.
If the system will not be used
for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the
transmitter and model and
store in a cool, dry place.
If the batteries are left in the transmitter, electrolyte may leak and damage
the transmitter. This applies to the
model also. Remove the batteries
from it also to prevent damage.
Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.
The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed con-
trols), Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries and other optional accessories.
Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than Futaba genuine parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.
Other Precautions
<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Recycling>
A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.
Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.

Trim Operation
Digital Trim Operation
(Initial settings: DT1: Steering trim, DT2: Throttle trim, DT3: -------)
Digital trims can be used in 2 ways:
Operating by the lever: Push the lever to the left or right (up or down) Operating by push
button switch: Press the push button switch in the desired direction. The current position
is displayed on the LCD screen in the bottom three rows of the list. However, this operation cannot be performed when the trim/dial lock (p.22) function is set.
• Each step is indicated by a tone.
• When the trim exceeds the maximum trim adjust-
ment range, the beep will change and the servo
will not move any farther. Return to the neutral
position (center) by pressing both the push button

• Trim lever adjustments have no effect on the maximum servo travel.This prevents the linkages from
binding when adjustments are made.
Grip Dial Operation
(Initial setting: DL1; Steering D/R, DL2; ATL)
Operate the dials by turning them. The current set value is displayed on the LCD screen.
However, this operation cannot be performed when the trim/dial lock (p.22) function is set.
• Each step is indicated by a tone.
• When the trim exceeds the maximum trim adjustment range, the tone will change pitch and the servo will not
move any farther.
With the center trim feature, trim adjustments have no effect on the maximum servo travel. This prevents the linkages from binding when adjustments are made.

About The Transmitter Antenna
Adjust the antenna vertically to the ground.
Otherwise, the operating range may become shorter.
The antenna position can be changed in the range as shown in figures A and B. However, please
do not apply unnecessary force or shock.
The internal cable may be damaged; thus transmitting distance decreases and it may cause malfunction.
Never hold only the antenna.
Hold the grip handle. Otherwise, the antenna may be damaged.
About Transmitter Antenna and Receiver
The antenna is a screw-on type and can be removed. However, do not remove the antenna ex-
cept when it must be replaced.
If the transmitter antenna terminals get dirty, the radio wave output will become weak and there is the danger that the
receiving range will be substantially shortened.
When the antenna is changed, it requires the metal
part of the antenna to be held firmly while putting it
on.
The antenna cannot be mounted to T4PKSR (by rotating the
middle part of the antenna).
There might be small glitch when the antenna
of the transmitter is brought close to servos,
ESCs or other peripheral devices.
This is not an issue but please keep this symptom in mind, especially when setting-up.

Receiver Terminology
How to link the transmitter and the receiver
Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter to which it is being
paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver needs to be used with another transmitter.
Link procedure
1
Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each
other, within 20 inches (half meter).
2
Turn on the transmitter.
3
Turn on the receiver.
4
Push the tactile switch of the receiver.
When the link is complete, the LED in the receiver
changes to solid green.
When the ID cannot be read due to the surrounding
environment, try reading it with the transmitter and receiver antennas touching.

LED status vs receiver's condition:
Precaution:
If there are many FASST systems turned on in close proximity to the R603FS/R603FF/R604FS(E)/
R614FF, your receiver might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays sol-
id green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very
dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you
to double-check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input
and then checking the servo response.
Warning
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really
under the control of your transmitter.
Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or the engine operating as
it may result in serious injury.
*Please refer to the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition.

Before Using
Always use R614FS / R614FF-E under the following conditions:
Battery :Power requirement Rated voltage 3.7V~7.4V
Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected servo (digital servo cannot use the dry battery).
RX Type :FASST-C2(See p.46 for setting method.)
Transmitter mode-HIGH SPEED mode :Futaba digital servo(See page 46 for setting method.)
Transmitter mode-NORMAL mode :Futaba all servo(See page 46 for setting method.)
Under other conditions, the set will not operate, or the specified performance will not be displayed even if it operates. In
addition, it may cause trouble with servos and other equipment. Futaba will not be responsible for damage, etc. caused
by combination with the products of other companies.
Receiver Installation
Install the R614FS receiver on the car as follows:
The operating range may become shorter, depending on where the receiver and the antenna are mounted.
Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.
Install the antenna in the higher place as shown in the figure.
Put the antenna in the antenna tube to protect it.
Note:
Since the receiver generates a certain amount of heat, change the mounting method to improve the ventilation
at the receiver. If the receiver is too tight, it may malfunction when the ambient temperature is high.
Transmitter mode setting
Set the transmitter to the HIGH SPEED mode or NORMAL mode. See page 46 for a description of
the setting method.
Note:
However, digital servos (including BLS Series brushless servo) can only be used in the HIGH SPEED mode.
When the power is turned on, whether the receiver is in the HIGH SPEED or NORMAL mode is judged and the R604FS operates in that mode until the power is turned off. When the transmitter mode is changed, operation becomes possible when the
receiver power is turned on again. When the frequency band is changed, reception on the new frequency band becomes possible
when the receiver power is turned on again.
For the receiver, servos, and other connections, see page 31 for the DSC cord (option)
connections, see page 137.
Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other
noise sources as you possibly can.
Wrap the receiver with something soft, such as foam rubber, to
avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver
in a waterproof bag or balloon.

Receiver Vibration-proofing / Waterproofing
Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire.
Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current.
Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive material.
Install the receiver antenna holder as closely as possible to the receiver.
If the antenna wire is cut, bundled, or routed near a noise source, the receiving sensitivity will drop, the running (sailing)
range will decrease, and you may lose control of the model.
*Noise is transmitted through metal, carbon, and other conductive material, so keep the receiver antenna wire away from such parts.
(Car)
Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material
and mount it with thick double-sided tape.
When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis
through a rubber grommet.
(Boat)
Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material.
Also waterproof the receiver by sealing it in a plastic bag.
If the receiver is exposed to strong vibration and shock, it will operate erroneously due to the invasion of water drops and
you may lose control of the model.

Connector Connections
Servo Installation
Be sure the receiver, servo, battery and connectors are fully and firmly connected.
If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control .
When you install the servos, always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags.
Mount the servos so they do not directly come in contact with the mount.
If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo.
If this condition continues for a long time, the servo may be damaged and control will be lost.
Servo Throw
Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain.

A vibration-damping effect is not obtained even
if the rubber grommet and grommet are not in-
stalled correctly.
Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is
not applied when the engine carburetor is fully open,
fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully.
If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to
function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the
suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable
force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.
Adjust the steering servo so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo by the

Installation
Electronic Speed Control
Motor Noise Suppression
Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other
parts that conduct electricity.
If the FET Amp (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could
occur. This could result in loss of control and damage to the system.
Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used.
If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.
Other Noise Suppression Methods
Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with
other metal parts.
Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You
could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.
Motors with no suppressor capacitors, or inadequate suppression, may cause the receiver to malfunction. Always solder the capacitors supplied to
your motor.
The Schottky diode improves the efciency of the

Preparations (Transmitter)
(Display when power switch turned on)
When the power switch is turned on, the currently selected model number is displayed.
Check if this number is the model number you want to set-up. To change the model
number, use the Model Select function (See page 108).
(Start screen)
Turn on the transmitter power.
The model number is displayed.
1.RF Output Check
If signals are output normally, RF output monitor "RF" will be displayed on the screen.
If "RF" is not displayed, contact your Futaba dealer.
When radio waves are not being emitted when turned on
by display switch and when the DSC function is used,
"DISP" is displayed.
2.Rx Type Check
The T4PKSR transmitter can use the Futaba 2.4GHZ R603FS/FF. However, there
are two types of Futaba 2.4GHz receivers for vehicles: "C1" type and "C2" type. The
R603FS and 603FF are "C1" type. The R614FF supplied with
the 4PKS set as standard is the "C2" type. Check that the setting matches the receiver being used. For example, when using
the R614FF, the receiver type must be set to FASST-C2 and
when using an R603FS or R603FF, the receiver type must be
set to FASST-C1. If the setting is wrong, change it using the
RX/SX type select function (See page 46).

- Steering trim (DT1) check
On the initial set-up, steering trim is assigned to the DT1
trim lever above the steering wheel. Operate the lever and
make sure the marker moves on the ST graph. If default
has been changed, test steering trim in its new location.
After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center
(N) position.
3. Servo Response Mode Check
Check that the servo response setting matches the servo being used. When using a digital servo (including BLS Series
brushless servo), both HIGH SPEED and NORMAL can be
used. When an analog servo is used, HIGH SPEED cannot be
used; therefore, servo response must be set to NORMAL. If
the setting is wrong, change it using the RX/SX type select
function (page 46).
- Throttle trim (DT2) check
On the initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to the DT2
trim lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Operate the lever and make sure the marker moves on the TH
graph. If the default has been changed, test the throttle
trim in its new location. After checking the trim, set the
trim display to the center (N) position.
4. Throttle Mode Check
-When using the T4PKSR transmitter with a boat, throttle
brake operation can be shut down by setting the BOAT function (p.78) *TRG-BRK item to "Cut-OFF".
-The throttle servo travel can be set to 50:50 or 70:30 for throttle trigger operation as required by the throttle mode function

End Point Adjuster "EPA"
(All channel)
Use this when performing left and right end point adjustments, throttle high side/
brake side operation amount adjustment, channel 3 and channel 4 servo up side/
down side operation amount adjustment during linkage.
- Correct the maximum steering angle for left and right steering angles when there
is a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. of the vehicle.
The EPA function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each channel.
The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by EPA
function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the following functions are
adjusted.
- Sub trim (all channels)
- Program mixing slave side (all channels)
- Tilt mixing (steering, channel 3)
- Idle up (throttle)
- Start Function, Engine Cut (throttle)
- Throttle acceration (throttle)
Maximum steering angle
ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation.
Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle EPA, ATL trim must also
be taken into account.
ATL trim
When the steering angle is insufcient even though EPA is increased to maximum
(120%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.
(Setup example: See page 85.)
Remark
End Point Adjuster "EPA"
Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure
the linkage does not bind or is not loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may
cause damage and excessive battery drain.
Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetoris fully open, fully closed,
and the brakes are applied fully.
If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the suitable
maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.
Adjust the steering servo so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo by the
chassis at maximum servo travel.
Decide the EPA value
at the contact point.
Caution!
A howling noise indicates that the
steering servo is improperly set.

Operation
Throttle Acceleration "ACCEL"
(Throttle system)
The servo will jump to the input position at its maximum possible speed. Unlike exponential, which adjusts the whole throttle movement into a curve, throttle acceleration
simply "jumps" away from neutral and then leaves the remaining response linear.
Throttle Acceleration "ACCEL"
The standard value (100% point) of this setup affects the operation amount set by
throttle EPA function.
Set value
For gasoline engine cars, the linkage must have a
clearance because one servo controls the engine
carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable
time delay at both the forward and brake sides.
Sharp response comparable to that of electric motor cars is obtained by reducing this clearance at
the transmitter side.

Fail Safe/Battery Fail Safe Function "F/S"
(All channel)
Fail Safe Mode (F/S)
This function moves each servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive the
signals from the transmitter for some reason.
-When "Rx Type"(p.46) is set "FASST-C1" and "Servo Response"(p.46) is "NORMAL", the setting fail safe (F/S) is only
throttle (TH). Other channels are in "OFF" mode.
-The fail safe data is transferred from the transmitter to the receiver 10 seconds after
the transmitter power is turned on and every minute thereafter. Usually the power is
turned on in transmitter and then receiver order. Therefore, data is not transferred for
about 1 minute after the receiver power is turned on.
-For gasoline engine cars, for safety we recommend that this fail safe function be used
to set the throttle channel in the direction in which the brakes are applied.
Hold mode (HOLD)
This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost.
It is an R604FS and other C2 type receiver only function. When the receiver used is
the R603FF/FF C1 type, this function cannot be used because the receiver type is set to
"
FASST- C1" by receiver type setting (p.46).
Off mode (OFF)
This function stops output of signals to the servos and places the servos into the free
state when the receiver cannot receive.
The F/S, HOLD, and OFF modes are automatically reset when signals from the transmitter can be received again.
Battery fail safe function (BATT-F/S)
If the receiver battery voltage drops below a certain value when this function is enabled,
the throttle servo moves to the position set by fail safe function. When the battery voltage recovers, the battery fail safe function is automatically reset.
-This function cannot be used when the throttle (TH) is not set to fail safe (F/S).
-For an R603FS/FF with RX TYPE (page 46) set to C1 types "FASST-C1", when throttle (TH) is set to fail safe (F/S), the
battery fail safe function is executed automatically. It cannot be set at the transmitter.
Page 55
When RX TYPE is set to
"FASST-C1", the BATT-F/S func-
tion automatically becomes
"ACT"(active).

Start Function Operation
- When the throttle trigger is moved to the preset position (trigger position: TG.P), the
throttle servo moves to the preset position.
- When the throttle trigger is operated slowly so that the wheels will not spin, the car
automatically accelerates to the set speed.
- This function is effective only for the rst throttle trigger operation at starting. This
function has to be activated before every start.
- When the throttle trigger is returned slightly, the Start function is automatically deactivated and the set returns to normal throttle trigger operation.

(Throttle system)
When the throttle trigger is set to full throttle simultaneously with starting when the
track is slippery, the car wheels will spin and the car will not accelerate smoothly. When
the Start function is activated, merely operating the throttle trigger slowly causes the
throttle servo to automatically switch from the set throttle position to a preset point so
that the tires do not lose their grip and the car accelerates smoothly.
When the switch is pressed, the throttle servo will move to the preset position without
regard to the throttle trigger position. This is convenient when used to cut the engine of
boats, etc. (The function select switch function. See page 96)
Engine Cut Function
If the power switch is turned on while
the preset (engine cut) switch is on, an

Fun ction
A.B.S Function "A.B.S"
When the T4PKSR is used with the Futaba fail safe unit (FSU-1), it will operate as described below.
- When the FSU-1 is connected to the throttle channel, and the A.B.S. function has
been activated, the FSU-1 LED will ash each time the servo operates. The reason
for this is that the FSU-1 responds to sudden data changes caused by A.B.S. function
pumping operation. It does not mean that the fail safe function is activated. The servo
will not be affected.
Fail Safe Unit
- Basic setting
ABP : Approx. 30% (If this value is too high, the braking distance will increase.)
CYC : 5~7
DTY : 0 (When grip is low: - side, when grip is high: + side)
DLY : 10~15%
TGP : Approx. 70%
STM : OFF
- When the wheels lock, or the car spins, when the brakes are applied fully
ABP : Increase from 30%
DTY : Shift from 0 to - side (-1, -2, -3)
DLY : Reduce the delay
- When the braking effect is poor and the braking distance is long when the brakes are
applied fully
ABP : Decrease from 30%
DTY : Shift from 0 to + side (+1, +2, +3)
DLY : Increase the delay

Fun ction
Brake Mixing "BRAKE"
(Throttle, 3rd channel system)
This function is used when the front and rear brakes must be adjusted independently
such as a 1/5 scale GP car. This mixing uses the 2nd CH for the rear brakes and the 3rd
or 4th CH for the front brakes, or controls the front brakes with the 3rd CH and 4th CH
servos, or controls the 2nd CH by independent throttle and controls the rear and front
brakes with the 3rd CH and 4th CH. In addition, mixing which varies the 3rd CH and
4th CH brake rate in proportion to steering operation is also possible.
-When braking, mixing is applied to 2nd CH
3rd CH, 4th CH.
-3rd CH and 4th CH brake amount, 2nd CH, 3rd CH, and 4th CH brake delay, and 3rd
CH and 4th CH brake EXP and ABS can be set.
-Steering mixing which varies front brakes 3rd CH and 4th CH matched to the steering
operation can be set. Front brakes 3rd CH and 4th CH can be individually weakened
according to the steering left or right operation amount.
Operation
Front Brake
Rear Brake
It is possible to adjust the Brake Return Amount (ABP), Delay Amount (DLY) and
Cycle period (CYC) exclusively for the front brake (the 3rd or 4th CH). In doing so,
you can use the A.B.S. Function at the front side even if the A.B.S Function is off for
the rear brake (2nd CH). You can use the same procedure as the 2nd CH A.B.S Function for setting the Cycle Period (CYC), Duty Ratio (DTY) and Steering Mixing (STM).
Use PS1, PS2, PS3 to switch the 3rd and 4th channel A.B.S. function ON/OFF.

When the steering servo travel is insufficient even when D/R is 100% and EPA is
120%, programmable mixing can be used to increase the travel somewhat.
(Reference data)
- PROG NIX1->ON
- MST (master channel) -> ST Mixing is applied from steering
- SLV (slave channel) ->ST Mixing is applied to steering and the travel is increased.
- RGHT -> 10% [When subtrim is centered (0%)]
- LEFT -> 10% [When subtrim is centered (0%)]
- OFST -> 0% / - MXMD -> MIX / - TRIM -> OFF
However, the operating range of the servo is exceeded even
if a large value is input at RIGHT and LEFT and a zone
over which the servo does not operate even when the stick is
moved to the left or right is created. A zone over which the
servo does not operate is also generated at the moving side
when the subtrim is moved to the left and right. Therefore,
set the RIGHT and LEFT value by checking servo operation.
When the throttle servo travel is insufcient at ATL 100% and EPA120%, the same action can be performed by making TH (throttle) both the MST and SLV when steering.
When both steering and throttle operations are performed, use both PROG MIX1 and
PROG MIX2 program mixing.

AVCS / NORMAL Modes
The gyro has 2 operating modes: NORMAL mode and AVCS mode. In the AVCS mode, the angle
is controlled simultaneously with NORMAL mode rate control (swing speed). The AVCS mode increases straight running stability more than that of the NORMAL mode. Because the feel of operation is different, choose your favorite mode.
NORMAL
Countersteers against outside
force, but cannot correct the
skid direction.
AVCS
Corrects the skidding direc-
tion and forcefully maintains
the heading.

CPS-1 Mixing "CPS MIX"
This function controls the Futaba CPS-1 channel power switch.
Normally, when using the CPS-1 unit to light the vehicle dress-up and other illumination
(LED) the CPS-1 unit with LED connected is connected to a vacant switch channel and
the LED are turned on and off by switch while the vehicle is running. However, when
the CPS-1 mixing (CPS MIX) function is used the LED can be turned on and off and
ashed in step with steering and throttle operation, as well as being turned on and off
by switch. The ashing speed (cycle) can also be set.
For instance, the LED can be ashed as a brake light by throttle brake side operation.
When 4th CH was set to ACT at Brake Mixing (p.74) or Dual ESC Mixing (p.90) is
used, CPS-1 Mixing cannot be used.
