COMBUSTION MODELS
Individual “AA” NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries can be installed in the included battery holder to power
the flight electronics (do not use alkaline cells). An optional rechargeable battery pack could instead be used.
See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for suggested options. The included switch harness
can conveniently turn power ON/OFF to the flight electronics. Refer to the model’s instructions for the location
to mount the battery, Rx, and switch harness for optimum weight distribution.
IMPORTANT! Apply power to the Tx BEFORE applying power to the Rx, and make sure the Tx
throttle stick is at minimum (idle) position. Failure to do so could result in the model becoming
uncontrollable and cause a safety hazard.
Locate the switch harness away from the propeller and the glow engine exhaust. Cut a hole in the side of
the fuselage large enough to allow the switch’s lever to move fully from end-to-end - but not so long that
the mounting screws cannot be secured to the fuselage. Connect the wire at the “ON” side of the switch to
the receiver’s “BAT” slot. Connect the battery to the appropriate wire at the “OFF” side of the switch. The
remaining wire at the “OFF” side of the switch can be used for re-charging the battery through the switch
harness. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position to charge the battery through the switch.
Linking the TTX610 to the included receiver ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents
other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.
1. Turn on the Tx.
2. Apply power to the Rx.
3. If the Rx LED flashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip
to the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “LINK”
and press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “LINK” button.
5. If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will flash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to have become properly
linked, repeat steps 1-5 above and move the Tx at least three feet away from the Rx.
The failsafe function is controlled by the included receiver. This function engages in the event the signal
from the Tx somehow becomes interrupted. In such case, channels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 (not channel 3) will
hold their last received position.
The factory default failsafe position for channel 3 is 0% throttle. The throttle’s failsafe position can be manually
set to any other position if desired, as follows:
1. IMPORTANT: Make sure the servo reversing switches are in the correct position for the application.
2. Apply power to the Tx, then the Rx.
3a . If using an ESC: Do NOT arm the ESC, or attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC
is armed. NOTE: If using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, its pre-set failsafe position will be
irrelevant as the receiver’s failsafe function will cease the throttle operation if the signal becomes lost.
3b . If using a combustion engine: Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position while the
engine is operating.
4. Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired throttle failsafe position.
5. Press and hold the receiver’s “LINK” button. The Rx’s LED should blink twice. Release the LINK
button, and the LED should stay on continuously. The Tx and Rx should now be linked, with the
throttle failsafe in the new position as set above.
