the signal from the transmitter to control the
model’s power and direction of the motor.
Receiver Crystal: Determines which channel it
will receive.
On/Off Switch:
Controls power to the receiver.
Antenna Wire:
Receives the signal from the
transmitter.
Power Plug:
Connects battery pack to the
receiver/speed control.
Steering Servo:
Controls steering movement.
Steering Servo Plug:
Receiver connection and
power supply.
Motor Plugs:
Power connection from the speed
control.
Changing Frequencies/Channels
The Micro radio operates on 27MHz AM and has 6 different frequencies/channels available.
Simply put, a frequency is like a TV channel. The transmitter you hold in your hand is like the TV
station and the model with the matching crystal is like your TV tuned exclusively to the channel
of the station. The Micro radio is equipped with changeable crystals that allow you to change
the frequency/channel you operate on. This is especially useful when you want to run a group of
Losi Micro’s at the same time. When changing crystals/channels, you must always replace the
crystals as a set with one going in both the transmitter and the receiver in the truck. Each of the
6 different channels are numbered and color-coded. Each set includes a unique crystal for the
receiver marked (Rx) and one from the transmitter marked (Tx). The crystals are changed by
gently pulling them out, later lining up the two pins of each crystal with its socket, then carefully
pushing the new crystals into place. DO NOT force them as damage can occur. If they do not
slide into the socket easily check for bent or misaligned pins.
Channel 1 Brown 26.995MHz (LOSB1094)
Channel 2 Red 27.045MHz (LOSB1095)
Channel 3 Orange 27.095MHz (LOSB1096)
Channel 4 Yellow 27.145MHz (LOSB1097)
Channel 5 Green 27.195MHz (LOSB1098)
Channel 6 Blue 27.255MHz (LOSB1099)
Making Adjustments
The following are simple adjustments and easily maintained settings that will assure proper
operation and performance. The Losi Micro-DT comes from the factory with optimum settings,
we suggest first-time RC drivers leave these as they are and simply maintain them as necessary.
Only after gaining experience should new drivers try experimenting with different settings.
Slipper Adjustments
The Losi Micro-DT is equipped with a slipper device that offers
both traction control and protection for the transmission. The
slipper is primarily used to help absorb sudden impacts on
the drivetrain due to landing big jumps or when using more
powerful after-market motors and/or battery packs. Addition-
ally, it can be used to smooth out the flow of power to the rear
wheels and limit wheel spin when running on extremely slick
surfaces. Adjustments are made using a 4.5mm nut driver and
adjusting the slipper nut clockwise (to the right) to reduce the
slip or counterclockwise (to the left) to increase the slip.
