SERVO TRAVEL
The servo travel on the Steering and Throttle channels can be adjusted through a special programming mode in the transmitter.
1. Begin with the transmitter binding process to the receiver complete. Power ON the receiver.
2. Hold full right and full brake while powering the transmitter ON to put the transmitter into programming mode.
The LED on the transmitter will flash 4 times to indicate it is in programming mode.
3. Turn and hold the wheel full left to set the travel limit for that direction, Press the A button to increase travel, press the B
button to reduce travel. The LED will flash once with every change. Return the wheel to center to set the travel value.
IMPORTANT: If the value has reached the maximum or minimum that can be accepted, the LED will not flash with further input.
4. Turn the wheel to the right and repeat the process to set the steering travel to the right.
5. For electric vehicles, power the Transmitter OFF to save the settings. Calibrate your ESC to the default throttle travel.
6. For fuel powered vehicles, set the throttle travel without the engine running; After setting steering travel, you can set
throttle travel with the same process. Pull and hold full throttle, adjust travel with the A and B buttons, return to center to
set the value.
7. Push full brake, adjust travel with the A and B buttons, return to center
8. Power the transmitter OFF to save the values.
FACTORY RESET
There is a hidden mode if you want to reset the servo travel and calibration in the transmitter.
