driving at high speed, or on tracks that favor sweeping turns
where gentle steering inputs are required. The ranges are
exaggerated for illustrative purposes.
Experiment! Try varying degrees of exponential. It’s easy to go back
to “zero” if you don’t like the effect. There’s no wrong way to adjust
exponential. Any setting that makes you more comfortable with
your model’s handling is the “right setting.”
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up
and installed from the factory.
When reinstalling the antenna, first
slide the antenna wire into the bottom
of the antenna tube until the white tip
of the antenna is at the top of the tube
under the black cap. Insert the base of
the tube into the antenna post. Take
care not to crimp the antenna wire.
Slide the crimp nut over the antenna
tube and screw it onto the antenna
post. Use the supplied tool to tighten
the crimp nut on the post just until the
antenna tube is securely in place. Do
not overtighten or crush the antenna
wire against the chassis.
Do not bend or
kink the antenna wire! See the sidebar
for more information. Do not shorten
the antenna tube.
ADJUSTING THE ELECTRONIC
SPEED CONTROL
The MXL-6s speed control should not need reprogramming with
normal use
; however, if you install a different radio system in your
model, or change the transmitter’s throttle-neutral setting from
50/50 to 70/30, you will need to reprogram the speed control.
Follow these instructions to reprogram the speed control:
1. Install the batteries of your choice in the battery compartments
and plug the batteries into the speed control.
2. Switch on your transmitter.
3. Hold full throttle while you switch on the MXL-6s controller. After
a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones and the RED LED will
light.
4. Hold full brake. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones
and the YELLOW LED will light.
5. Release the trigger to the neutral position. After a few seconds,
you will hear multiple tones and ALL THE LEDs will light.
6. Wait a few more seconds for the speed control to ‘arm,’ indicated
by a double-tone. You are now ready to drive.
Disconnect Batteries After Use
Always disconnect the batteries from the speed control when
you are finished using your vehicle. The switch on the speed
control only shuts off power to the receiver and servos. The speed
control continues to draw power as long as it is plugged in and
may over-discharge your batteries if they are left connected to the
speed control.
