The  polarity  of  the  connection  lead  is  marked  on  the  label  of  the  unit.  In  the  case  of 
using  reversed  gears,  the  connector  should  be  connected  backwards  to  reverse  the 
operation of the motors. 
 

Brake connections 
 

 

Connect  the  leads  from 
brakes  on  the  sockets 
labeled  “Brake”.  Polarity  and 
position  are  not  important 
on the brakes. 

 

You can use good quality JR 
extension  leads  for  the 
motors  and  brake  leads  if 

necessary. 
 

Battery connection 

Battery  should  be  connected  on  the  yellow  MPX  connector.  Double  check  the  correct 
polarity  before  connecting  the  battery  on  the  unit,  a  reversed  battery  connection  will 
destroy the unit, often the damage is beyond repair.  
 

Output for the door servos

  

Connect the 3 servos to the outputs on the unit. You can connect more than one servo 
to each output using a “Y” lead. 
 

Output to the steering servo

 

Connect the steering servo to “Steer Out” if used.   
 

Radio inputs:

 

You  can  choose  to  use  a  single  channel  to  control  the  gear  and  brake,  or  separated 
channels. Gear input channel should be always connected for operation, brake channel 
and steering input channel are optional. 
 

Power supply considerations:

 

PLEASE READ! 

This  controller  can  receive  up  to  3  different  power  sources.  In  order  to  prevent 
malfunctions in your system you should know that: 
 
The  main  battery  should  be  between  6,6  to  9,9V.  Recommended  battery  is  a  Lipo  of 
7,4V.  Please  double  check  the  polarity  before  connecting  it.  The  damage  caused  by 
polarity reversal is not covered by warranty!!!
