2. D/R (Dual Rate)

Press the right edit button, then the cursor will move to “D/R”
and entry the steering servo dual rate setting function. On
the “Value Display”, the current D/R value will be shown. Use
the up and down edit buttons to adjust the value.
This D/R function is to adjust the overall travel of the steering
servo. And the D/R setting, the steering servo left and right
steering angles will be adjusted simultaneously.
The default steering D/R setting is 100%, the maximum is
150% and the minimum is 0%. More travel (Higher D/R %)
means more sensitivity for the steering wheel operating.
You also can use the “Digital Steering D/R(Dual Rate) lever”
to adjust the D/R value all the time even the transmitter
function mode is not under the D/R mode.

4. EPA (End Point Adjustment)

Basically, EPA (End Point Adjustment) function is to determine the maximum
travel end points for each servo. And for both side traveling, the individual EPA
can be set with difference value. Move the cursor to the channel you select to
start the setting procedure.

4.1) EPA / ST

This function is to adjust the right(R) and left(L) maximum
steering angle. When entry this mode, the right side
steering angle EPA setting will be started first. So on the
“Value Display” area, “R” and the current EPA value will
be show there. Using the up/down button to adjust the
value to get the steering servo right side traveling EPA
setting. Turn the steering wheel to the left side, then the
“R” on the display will be switched to “L” and you can
adjust the value to get the steering servo left side traveling
EPA setting. Under the mode, just use the steering wheel
to choose the direction you like to set.
The defa ult steering servo EPA value is 100%, the
maximum is 120% and the minimum is 0%.

NOTE:

If the maximum servo traveling is interference with
the mechanical limit, then it will cause the linkage
binding or even damage the servo. So the best way
to set the steering EPA is to hold the steering wheel
on the full turn position, then adjust the EPA to the
suitable value and make sure the steering linkage
without binding.

4.2) EPA/TH

This function is to adjust the full throttle (H) and low/brake (L) operating amount.
Entry the EPA/TH setting mode, pull the trigger back, “H” will be show on left side of the “Value Display”
and the current EPA value will be show beside “H”. Using the up/down button to adjust the value to get the
full throttle EPA setting.
Push the trigger forward, then “H” will changed to “L”, then use the up/down button to adjust the value to
get the brake EPA setting.

4.3) EPA/AUX

This function is to adjust the auxiliary 3rd
channel EPA. Entry the EPA/AUX setting
mode, same as previous steering and
throttle EPA setting process, you can press
the AUX Ch Button to select each side servo
traveling setting. On the display, it will show
“H” and “L” to represent the different side
EPA setting.

5. ARC (Adjust Rate Control)

This ARC function is to change the correspond
movement curve of the servo and operating stick.
(steering wheel and throttle trigger) When ARC
is 0%, then the movement curve is linear. All the
default ARC percentage value is 0%. The detail
setting and effect of this function are described
as below.

5.1) ARC/ST

Basically, this function is to change the
sensitivity of the steering servo around the
neutral position. So this value setting will
effect both sides (left and right) of the
steering servo movement in the same time
and same percentage.
Negative steering ARC setting will make it
less sensitivity (slower) around the neutral
point operating area and faster out of the
neutral point area. Positive steering ARC
will have the opposite effect.

5.2) ARC/TH

This function is to adjust the sensitive of the
accelerating. On the throttle servo, this value
is to adjust the curve from neutral point to
the full throttle position. Normally, the positive
ARC/TH percentage will inc re ase the
“punch” feeling and negative ARC/TH will
broaden the power band.

5.3) ARC/BR

This function is to adjust the sensitive of the
brake feeling. On the throttle servo, this
value is to adjust the curve from neutral
point to the throttle full close position. The
positive ARC/BR percentage will have quick
brake and negative with milder brake.

6. Model Number

There are 10 set data can be saved in the radio memory
code (Model 0~9). When you entry this function mode,
the Model No will “flash” and show in the “Model” No
icon. You can use up(+)/down(-) buttons to call the
model you want to choose. When the radio is turn on,
the model that you choose in last time will be re-called
and show the model No on the model icon. Under the
model No you choose, when you do any change of the
function data, the data will be saved automatically.

7. SUB-T (Sub trim)

SUB-T(sub trim) function is to do the minor adjustment
of the neutral point of the steering and throttle servos.
Use the “up”(+) and “down”(-) buttons to do the
adjustment. Under the SUB-T/ST mode, use the “up”(+)
button to increase the movement of the steering servo
neutral point toward right side and use the “down”(-)
button toward left side. The default value will be 0 and
show “R 0” on the display. If the adjusting is to the left
side and over the default neutral point, then the “R” will
be changed to “L”.
SUB-T/ST mode is to adjust the throttle servo. Use the
same adjusting process as the SUB-ST, just the
characters will be changed from R/L (right/left) to H/L
(high/low).
