ADJUSTABILITY:
•
Master:
Throttle, steering, channel 3.
•
Slave:
Throttle, steering, channel 3.
•
A and B adjustments [Up/forward/left and down/brake/right (for ch3/throttle/steering respectively)]: -100% (move
exact opposite of master) to 0 (no movement of slave) to +100% (move exactly same as master). Default: 50%.
Adjustable while in use by selecting a dial/trim for programmable mix adjustments A and B in
FUNC-DIAL, pp. 34-35.
•
Offset:
-100% to 0 to +100%. Default: 0%.
•
Master mixed mode: Off, mixed. Default: off.
•
Trim:
Off, On. Default: Off.
•
Switch:
An on/off switch may be assigned for each mix in
FUNC-SW (see pp. 34-35).
INTERACTION: EPA affects total travel available to both servos. Master mixed mode “mixed” means that all other
functions affecting the primary channel also affect the secondary channel.
DESIRED END RESULT: Varies based upon user setup.
CAUTION: Be sure to test all mixes at every step to ensure no unexpected difficulties occur.

GOAL:
Set up a programmable mix from steering
to lights so that headlights turn with
steering wheel, while using
LV3. (If using
LV1 or LV2, first select level LV3, see p. 12.)
STEPS:
Select programmable mix 1.
Make mix active.
Set master channel as steering.
Set slave channel as ch 3.
Set left and right travel as 100%.
Set master mixed mode to mixed so other
mixes affecting throttle position also
affect headlight angle.
Set trim on so movement of steering trim
also moves headlights.

GOAL:
Use mixes to increase steering travel slightly
when dual rate and EPA are not enough,
while using
LV3. [Note that anything more
than 10% (or less if subtrim is >0) will not
move the servo any further, as the servo’s
maximum mechanical travel is exceeded. Be
sure to check actual travels, including sub
trims, by testing servo operation.] (If using
LV1 or LV2, first select level LV3, see p. 12.)
Where Next:
STEPS:
