Question: I installed the batteries in my transmitter, but the power lights do not come on:
Answer:
- Check that the batteries are properly installed by checking the polarity (+ and -).
Question: My radio has power, but I have no control:
Answers:
- Check to be sure the power switch is on and connected to the receiver.
- Make sure the batteries are charged (Replace or recharge if needed.)
- Make sure you are using the proper crystals.
Question: My vehicle is glitching, or the servos and/or speed control is acting erratically:
Answers:
- Check that there are no radios operating on your channel.
- Make sure your electric motor has capacitors and the comutator is clean and brushes are not worn out. Replace if needed.
- Check for loose screws as metal-to-metal contact can cause interference.
- Make sure your receiver antenna has not been damaged or cut.
- Make sure the power wires are at least 2" away from the receiver.
- Replace the crystals if needed.
- If all fails, send the system in to be serviced, as there may be internal damage.
- Never operate your car or truck in a crowded street with traffic.
- Always extend your transmitter antenna when in operation.
- Always check the battery power indicator before use.
- Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time.
- Do not operate your model in the rain or run through standing water.
- Do not operate your model within one mile of a radio control racetrack.
- Do not operate your model while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Always turn on your transmitter first and then the receiver to prevent loss of control.
- When collapsing your antenna, never push it from the top or it may bend.
- Use only Hitec 40MHz RF Module
- Slower is faster, Do not overdrive your car. A cleaner line around the track is faster than more top speed. Don't overshoot the corners.
- Reduce your steering dual rate if your car is over-steering or "Loose", and increase the rate if your car is under-steering or "Pushing."
- Add more drag brake (see Steering and Throttle trims) if your vehicle is "Pushing" into the corners. Move the trim the other direction so your car creeps forward slightly when the throttle is at neutral if your car is "Loose" when entering the corners.
- Don't crash! It's better to take a more conservative line than flip over and have to have a turn marshal turn you back over.
- The most important thing to remember is to have fun!

Nicad Battery Installation
- Connect the included Hitec CG-22A overnight wall charger to the transmitter charging jack located at the back of the transmitter.
- Note: If the charger is properly hooked up to the transmitter, the red light on the charger will be lit while charging. If the red light does not glow, check the connection or the battery.
- The CG-22A can also charge a 4 cell Nicad receiver battery through the second output pigtail connected to the switch harness.
- Note: If the charger is properly hooked up to the receiver battery, the green light on the charger will be lit while charging. If the green light does not glow, check the connection or the battery.
- A full charge on the supplied transmitter Nicad battery pack will take 12-16 hours.
- Warning: Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or they may explode.
A) Receiver
- HIS-03MK single conversion.
- You can use a separate receiver 4.8v - 6V battery pack if required for your particular model. This battery is typically only used with a gas or nitro powered vehicle to supply power to the receiver. Connect as shown.
- Note: If using an electronic speed control, it will supply the power to the receiver through the connector plugged into channel #2.
- Be aware you should keep your receiver antenna at least 2" away from any power wires to prevent potential interference.
- Route the antenna up an antenna tube as typically shown in your vehicles instructions.
- Warning: Be sure not to cut off any excess antenna wire, as it will shorten your operating range.
B) Servos
- The HS-325HB Karbonite gear, ball bearing servo is only include with the standard version systems. Other sytems come without servos.
- Note: Always use the proper servo for your application. Using a servo that is not powerful enough can damage it and your vehicle could potentially go out of control.
- When installing the servos, refer to the manual of the vehicle for proper installation.
- Once your servos are correctly installed, make sure they are properly centered. To do this, remove the servo horns, turn on your transmitter, then switch on the power to your receiver.
- Note: Remember; always turn your transmitter on first and off last. Failure to do so may result in loss of control and damage to your servos and/or linkage.
- Now that the power is on check that the servos are working properly.
- Center the trims and sub-trims, and then replace the horns so that they are centered.
- Be aware they may not be perfectly centered; this is OK, just get them as close as possible, and then use the trims or sub-trims for fine-tuning.
C) Battery
- The optional AA receiver battery holder should be used in a non-electric vehicle requiring two servos.
- Connect the optional AA receiver battery holder to the power switch supplied or use an optional 4-5 cell Nicad or NiMh pack to the optional #57215S power switch, and then plug the switch harness into the "Batt" channel of the receiver for power.(See illustration)
- You will not need this battery if you are using an electric car with an electronic or mechanical speed control with BEC.

- Press the "DATA" button to adjust the setting. The lower the number, the shorter the delay.
- Press the "SEL" button to scroll down to set the "depth". This is the amount of travel the servo will move during the pulsing.
- Press the "DATA" button to adjust the setting. The lower the number, the tighter the pulsing movement.
- Press the "SEL" button to scroll down to set the "speed". This is the rate at which the servo pulses back and forth.
- Press the "DATA" button to adjust the setting. The lower the number, the faster the pulsing.
- Note: Typically the ABS function is only used in nitro or gas powered vehicles. To fine tune the braking of an electric vehicle use the ATL switch.
- Tip: After extensive testing the Hitec racing team has found these ABS settings work in almost all applications:
- Point: 50% -75%
- Delay: 0-2
- Depth: 3-5
- Speed: 2-5
- Press the "FUNC" button to scroll to the next menu.
F) Mixing
- After entering the programming mode press the "FUNC" button to scroll to the mixing menu.
- To use this feature, select "Linear" control for the 3rd channel. If "Shift" is selected it will not work.
- Press the "DATA" + & - buttons at the same time to activate or disable the mixing function.
- Press the "DATA" + or - buttons to select "ST" (Steering) or "THRO" (Throttle) as the master.
- Press the "SEL" button to scroll down to the "Rate1" setting and use the DATA +/- buttons to adjust. If "ST" was selected then this screen allows you to set the amount of mixing to the AUX servo for a left turn. To set the amount of mixing for the right turn (Rate2) turn the steering wheel to the right.
- If "THRO" was selected then "Rate1" is throttle and "Rate2" is braking. You will have to push the brake trigger forward to set "Rate2" and use the DATA +/- buttons to adjust.
- Press the "SEL" button to scroll down to the "neutral" setting. This allows you to reset the center position of the AUX servo if needed. To reset this position, move the controls so that the AUX servo is in the new desired neutral position and push the "DATA" + & - buttons at the same time.
- Note: The trim does not link to the AUX servo so you will need to use the "neutral" feature to fine tune the servo as needed to match the master.
- Press the "SEL" button to get to the throttle EPA screen, adjust it with the "DATA" + or - buttons the same way as the steering. To adjust the high throttle setting, push and hold the stick forward. To adjust the brake EPA pull and hold the stick back.
- Note: The ATL switch at top right side of the transmitter will make the same adjustment as the brake EPA.
- Tip: The ATL can be adjusted while driving, for fine tuning the braking power of the vehicle. The current setting will be displayed on the primary screen.
- Press the "SEL" button to adjust the auxiliary 3rd channel EPA with the "DATA" + or - buttons.
- Note: If "SHIFT" was selected for this model, you will need to pull the switch to set each side of the travel.
- Note: If "LINEAR" was selected for this model, you will need to move the AUX digital trim tab on the left side of the steering stick to the "side" you wish to set. Leaving the trim centered will adjust both sides at once.
- Press the "SEL" button to loop back to the main EPA menu.
- Note: The main EPA menu will now show all the new settings.
- Note: Push the "DATA" + & - buttons at the same time to reset to factory default(100%).
- Press the "FUNC" button to scroll to the next menu.
D) Exponential
- After entering the programming mode press the "FUNC" button to scroll to the exponential menu.
- To set the exponential, press the "SEL" button to select steering or throttle. Next, press the "DATA" + button for positive expo or the - button for negative expo.
- Note: The graph depicts the travel curve for one side of the servo travel.
- Note: Push the "DATA" + & - buttons at the same time to reset to factory default(0%).
- Tip: Negative steering exponential will make the vehicle less sensitive to small inputs and positive expo will make the vehicle more sensitive. Typically you will only use negative expo for steering but you should experiment with this setting to see what suits your driving style the best. A good place to start is around -30%.
- Tip: For the throttle, use negative expo to broaden the power band and positive expo to increase the "punch". Typically you will use negative expo with a modified electric, nitro vehicles, or in situations where the traction is low. Use positive expo with a stock electric motor vehicles or when the traction is high.
