Throttle Trim Function 

The throttle trim allows you to fine-tune the position of the throttle servo or speed controller so as to give correct 
throttle response. When you first switch ‘ON’ your transmitter and model (and start the engine in the case of an engine 

powered model), the drive wheels on the model should not be turning. This is the neutral position. If the drive wheels 
are turning (either forwards or reverse), you can adjust the throttle trim to stop them and bring your model back to 
neutral. Throttle servo trimming is best done with the model’s drive wheels off the ground to ensure that you do not 
have a runaway model whilst your are adjusting the trim.

You adjust the throttle trim using the ‘DT2’ button located at the left side of the steering wheel. 

Push the ‘DT2’ button up or down to trim the throttle servo so that the model’s wheels are not turning. Pulling the 
transmitter’s trigger should give almost immediate acceleration and pushing the trigger forward should give almost 

immediate reverse (electric) or brake (nitro/engine) operation. You can fine-tune the trim to set this correctly. Note, 
some electric models are fitted with electronic speed controllers that have a dual brake/reverse function. In this case, 

it may be necessary to push the trigger several times to operate reverse.

Note 1: If by adjusting the throttle trim the model’s wheels begin to turn faster, you are adjusting the wrong 
way. In this case, simply adjust in the opposite direction until the wheels stop turning.

Note 2 : If you need to adjust the trim to a too large a degree, it may be that you need to re-set/re-centre the 
servo output arm’s position on top of the servo and trim again as necessary. When doing this, be sure to 
have both the transmitter and receiver switched ‘ON’, and to set the servo’s trim on the transmitter back to 
0%, before re-attaching the servo arm so that the servo is returned to its actual neutral position.

Description of Functions 

If a servo operates in the opposite direction to that required, e.g., turning the transmitter’s steering wheel left causes 
the model to steer right, or pulling the trigger for forward movement causes the model to travel in reverse or applies 
the brake, you can correct the servo’s movement with the appropriate reverser.

Servo Reversing on CH1 (Steering) 

Press  the

 

 

button  once  in  normal 

display  mode  to  enter  the  Servo 
Reversing setting menu for Channel 1.

Push the ‘DT1’ button either left or right 
to set a normal (NOR) or reversed (REV) 
control state.

Note:  The  default  state  is  normal 

(NOR) state. 

Servo Reversing on CH2 (Throttle & Reverse/Brake) 

Press  the 

  button  twice  in  normal 

display  mode  to  enter  the  Servo 
Reversing setting menu for Channel 2.

As for Ch1 adjustment above, push the 
‘DT1’ button either left or right to set a 
normal (NOR) or reversed (REV) control 
state.

Note:  The  default  state  is  normal 

(NOR) state.
