Functions
End point adjuster/EPA (All channels)
Use this when performing steering left and right steering angle adjustments, throttle
high side/brake side operation amount adjustment, and channel 3 servo up side/down
side operation amount adjustment during linkage.
- Correct the maximum steering angle and left and right steering angles when there is
a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. of the vehicle.
Maximum steering angle
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)
- Throttle preset (throttle)
ATL trim
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.
Remark
When the steering angle is insufficient even though EPA is increased to maximum
(120%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.
(Setup example: See page 68.)
Decide the EPA value at the
contact point.
Caution!
Be sure that the
steering servo
does not howl.
End point adjuster/EPA (All channels)
Warning
! Make sure that the knuckle stopper is not con-
tacted during steering operation and that unrea-
sonable force is not applied to the servo during
other channel operation.
If unreasonable force is applied to the servo horn at the knuckle stopper
during steering operation, the servo may malfunction and the model may
run out of control.
