Use the Model Select menu to 
change the model memory, to assign 
a model name or to copy a model.  
The DX4R PRO has 50 model  
memories available. 

CAUTION: 

NEVER change  

the model in Model Select while 
operating a model. Changing the 
model memory interrupts the  
transmitter signal to the receiver  
and may cause loss of vehicle  
control, damage or personal injury.

model memory using up to ten 
characters.

Use the roller to select  
a Model Name in the List.

2.

want to change. A list of  
characters appear.

3. 

Select the character you  
want to use.

4. 

When you are finished naming 
the model memory, select the  
arrow to save the name and 
return to the list.

model memory settings with a  
selected model memory space.

for one model to adjust program-
ming for track conditions or  
model setups. 
Choosing 

No

 returns to the List 

Screen. Choosing Yes saves the  
active model settings to the 
selected model memory.

The Travel function supports precise endpoint adjustments in all channels. Travel values range from 
0–150% (Default is 100%).

NOTICE: 

Always check the control directions at the extents of travel to be sure the linkages do not  

bind. Travel values that are too high will cause binding, which may result in damage to the vehicle.
