TTX300
2.4GHZ RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL
™
Thank you for making the Tactic TTX300 2.4GHz SLT system your choice for radio control!
This system uses modern 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum technology – an innovation that allows for automatic channel selection and interference-free control of R/C models.
For safe operation and best results, it’s strongly recommended to read this manual in its entirety before use! Also read and understand the instructions included with the model. Damage resulting from misuse or modification will void your warranty.
FEATURES
●2.4GHz Spread Spectrum Technology
●Ergonomic and stylish case design
●Transmitter can bind to multiple receivers
●Tiny, lightweight receiver with internal antenna
●Built-in fail-safe
●Steering and Throttle trim dials
●Steering rate adjustment
●Power LED with low battery warning indication
●Multi-function programmable 3rd channel
●Steering and throttle end point adjustments
TRANSMITTER
The transmitter (Tx) requires 4 “AA” batteries. Non-rechargeable alkaline or rechargeable nickelcadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells can be used. Do not mix old and new cells, or mix non-rechargeable alkaline cells with rechargeable NiCd or NiMH cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual for optional rechargeable NiCd and NiMH batteries and chargers. Note the TTX300 transmitter does not include a charge jack for rechargeable cells. A separate “AA” cell charger will be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate an R/C model with weak batteries as it could result in reduced range and/or possible loss of control!

Press the power switch to turn the Tx on (see fi gure 2). The “POWER” LED should illuminate. If not, turn off the Tx and check the batteries to make sure each cell is fi rmly in place and in the proper direction. If the Tx LED blinks, the batteries are low on power and should be replaced.
BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper installation and operation of the 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver system, it is necessary to “bind” them together electronically. This ensures sole communication between the two and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1.Turn on the transmitter.
2.Apply power to the receiver (see the INSTALLATION section that follows
for how to do this).
2
3.If the receiver’s LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, push and hold the receiver’s “BIND” button until its LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4.Release the bind button.
5.If the binding is successful, the LED will flash once and then remain ON.
6.Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality by completing the next section. If it doesn’t seem the radio has bound properly, repeat steps 1-6 above.
INSTALLATION
Receiver: Mount the receiver as specified in your model’s instructions. As a guideline, mount in a secure location using double-sided tape. Route the servo wires so they do not interfere with any moving parts. For boat applications, it’s highly recommended to wrap the receiver in a balloon or enclose it in a water-tight box.

Servos: See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual for a full list of optional servos. CENTER THE TRIM DIALS on the Tx. Mount the servos inside the model and connect the linkages to the servo using an appropriate length servo arm. Make sure all mechanical linkages are free of obstructions and can move smoothly. Connect the servos to the receiver as shown in Figure 3. Turn the transmitter’s trim dials to finely adjust the servo’s center point as needed to match the installation.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC): If using an electronic speed control, connect it to channel 2 of the receiver (throttle). Center the transmitter’s throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for programming.

PROGRAMMING
Several of the TTX300 features are adjusted electronically by entering the programming mode. To enter the programming mode, follow these steps:
1.With the transmitter turned off, turn steering wheel full right, pull the trigger to the full throttle position and turn the transmitter’s power switch to ON.The LED will flash to confi rm when performed correctly.
2.Release the wheel and trigger at this time.
End Point Adjustments
Steering:
1.Enter programming mode.
2.LEFT EPA: Turn wheel FULL COUNTERCLOCKWISE, use 3rd channel push buttons to adjust.
3.RIGHT EPA: Turn wheel FULL CLOCKWISE, use 3rd channel push buttons to adjust.
Throttle:
1.Enter programming mode.
2.THROTTLE EPA: Pull trigger to the FULL THROTTLE position, use 3rd channel push buttons to adjust.
3.BRAKE EPA: Push trigger to the FULL BRAKE position, use 3rd channel push buttons to adjust.
Channel 3:
The TTX300 3rd channel is programmable and offers a wide variety of options to suit many applications. Selecting the number of positions and end point adjustments are performed at the same time. To change the function and set end point adjustments for CH3, follow these steps:
REVERSE: Press and hold the bottom push button and power ON transmitter. The LED will fl ash one time. After 3 seconds, the LED will fl ash two times when performed correctly. Release the bottom push button.
MULTI-POSITION: The TTX300 3rd channel can be programmed to function as 2 position, 3 position, 4 position or proportional control switch. Selecting each position and end points for each position are performed simultaneously. The default position of CH3 is 2 position. To change the function of CH3, follow these steps:
1.Enter programming mode: Press and hold the top push button, power ON transmitter. Continue to hold until the LED fl ashes fi ve times. Release the top push button.
2.Use CH3 push buttons to adjust CH3 accessory/servo to desired 1st position. Turn steering wheel clockwise (right) to confi rm position 1. The LED will fl ash one time to confi rm position 1 has been saved. Note: Press and holding CH3 push buttons will adjust rapidly. Press and release will finely adjust positions.
First use
CH3 buttons
to set. Then turn wheel clockwise
to confirm.
