Failsafe

Failsafe servo positions are also set during binding. In the unlikely event that the

radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed

failsafe positions (normally neutral and straight steering). If the receiver is turned

on prior to turning on the transmitter, (no transmitter signal is present), all channels

have no output, to avoid operating or arming the electronic speed control. When the

transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

Servo Reversing

Servo reversing is used to reverse the direction of the output of each channel. (e.g.,

a right steering command results in the wheels turning right). To reverse a channel,

switch the position of the correlating switch. The small screwdriver tool included with

your transmitter can be used to move the switch if necessary.

Travel Adjust

Travel adjust is used to limit the maximum travel that each channel travels in each

direction. Travel adjust is independently adjustable in each direction. To reduce the

maximum travel in each direction, use the small screwdriver to rotate the

corresponding travel adjust dial counterclockwise. To increase travel in each

direction, rotate the corresponding dial clockwise.

Steering Trim

The steering trim dial is used to adjust the steering trim when the wheel is

centered. Rotating the dial causes the steering trim (the steering at rest position) to

be changed. Normally steering trim is adjusted until the boat tracks straight.

Throttle Trim

The throttle trim dial is used to adjust the throttle trim when the throttle stick is

released (neutral position). Rotating the dial causes the throttle trim (the throttle

position at rest) to be changed.

Steering Rate

Steering rate (also known as dual rate) allows on-the-fly steering travel adjustments to

be made using the steering rate dial. Steering rate limits the amount of travel of the

steering servo. The steering rate cannot be greater than 100% and will never exceed

the amount of steering travel set with the travel adjust dials.
