Charger: Device used to recharge batteries. Usually supplied with the radio if NiCd batteries are included.
CH-EPA: Channel End Point Adjustment. See EPA...........................................................................................................18
CH-REV: Channel Reversing. See Servo Reversing. .........................................................................................................18
Color: Color for LED lamp is adjustable. See LED-MODE. .............................................................................................13
Contents and Technical Specifications................................................................................................................................5
Contrast: LCD screen contrast. See System. ......................................................................................................................13
Coreless Motor: In a conventional servo, the motor has a steel core armature wrapped in wire that spins inside the
magnets. In a coreless design, the armature uses a thin wire mesh that forms a cup that spins around the outside of the
magnet eliminating the heavy steel core. A coreless motor does not have magnets as standard servo motors do, so they have
a smoother, more constant, and stronger action. Regular servo motors have either 3 or 5 magnets (poles) which, when the
armature is between these, the servo motor is at its weakest.
Count Down Timer: See Timer ..........................................................................................................................................30
Count Up Timer: See Timer ...............................................................................................................................................30
Curve: In throttle exponential, the “curve” function offers 5 points along the range of the servo, and draws straight lines
of response between each point. It is not a true curve, as is exponential, and there are noticeable steps in the responsiveness
as each rate of response is entered. See Exponential. ..........................................................................................................20
CUT OFF: No braking action when trigger is pushed forward. Adjustment within Boat Mode. See Boat Mode............43
CYC: Adjustment in ABS. Cycle adjustment, sets how rapidly the brakes cycle from full brake applied to ABP and back
to full brake applied. See ABS. ............................................................................................................................................24
Cycle: Adjustment in ABS. One complete “pulse” of maximum brake applied to lessened brake. See ABS...................24
D/R2: 2nd steering dual rate. See Steering Dual Rate.........................................................................................................38
DELAY: In brake mix, waits to send command to either front or rear, allowing other to begin braking the car first. See
Brake Mix. In ABS, see DLY. ..............................................................................................................................................24
Differential. Uneven movement in each direction of a control. For example, differential steering in a 4WD car (see
programmable mixing example, p. 40.) or differential braking (see brake mix, p. 42.)
Digital Grip Dial Operation.................................................................................................................................................9
Digital Servo: Servo with a quartz crystal-controlled microprocessor, FET amplifier and specialized lead rather than a
standard logic chip and timing components of a standard servo. Sends signals to the servo motor 6 times faster than analog
servos. Required for use with HRS receivers.
Digital Trim Operation.........................................................................................................................................................9
Digital Trims and Dials: Electronic switches which automatically store their position each time a change is made.
Separate memories for each trim and dial exist in each model memory. ..............................................................................9
DIRC-CALL: Direct Select menu setup. Assigns the 6 features to the direct select menu for each selection. ................36
Direct Selection Menu: Quick access menu that allows user access to any 6 features with the push of 2 buttons .........11
Direct Servo Control (DSC). High-end convenience feature that allows control/adjustment of servo function without sending
signal through receiver. Requires optional DSC cord and DSC-compatible receiver such as R113iP, R113F, R123F, R133F. .......5
DISP: display only. Transmitter is operating the programming display only and is not transmitting RF to the receiver............8
Display Settings: See System..............................................................................................................................................13
Display Switch .......................................................................................................................................................................8
