Throttle Reverse:
Reverse the response direction when operating throttle trigger.
Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while pulling back,
the model moves forward. If necessary you can just use a small screwdriver to
adjust the or responding switches.
ATV enables to adjust the same maximum steering angle of servo on both sides
(Left and Right) when model makes steering. The ATV affects the sensitivity
of servo. Reducing dual rate value can lower the sensitivity of servo and reduce
the same maximum steering angle on both sides. Remember to adjust the ATV
within the adjustment range.
ATV
1. Steering : Adjust the steering trim to keep
the front wheels in straight line when steering
wheel remains in NEUTRAL position.
2. Throttle : Adjust the throttle trim to ensure
