PRG-MIX: See Programmable Mixes.................................................................................................................................40
Programmable Mixes: Function that instructs a second servo to operate in response to the instructions given to a first
servo. 3PK includes 2 programmable mixes which are open to the user completely to set up as needed..........................40
PRST: Preset. In auto-start, throttle servo position. Preset is a “true” preset – it is not a mix or a portion of the EPA. It is
truly a command to move the servo to a set position regardless of other inputs, including trigger. See Auto-Start. .........28
PS: Push Button Switch. Also called switch, or SW. PS1 = SW1 Assigned in FUNC-SW. ..............................................34
Quick Access Menu: See Direct Selection. ........................................................................................................................11
Race Ready Menus: See Level Selection. ..........................................................................................................................12
Racing Timer: Model-specific timer, with four types – up, down, lap memory, and lap navigate. See Timer. ................30
RATE: In brake mix, proportion of rear brake input to also be commanded to front brakes. See Brake Mix. .................42
RDY: Trigger-ready state. If set to ready, timer begins with trigger pull, doesn’t require lap start button to be pressed to
begin timer; however, lap button still needs to be pressed to end/store each lap. Trigger activity has no effect after starting
the timer. See Timer..............................................................................................................................................................30
Receiver (Rx): The radio unit that receives the transmitter signal and relays the control to the servos. This is somewhat
similar to the radio you may have in your family automobile, except the radio in the model perceives commands from the
transmitter, while the radio in your car perceives music from the radio station....................................................................7
Return: Movement of the steering servo from the turned position back to neutral.
RF: Display reading indicating transmitter is transmitting signal to the receiver.................................................................8
RST: Timer reset. Stops running timer, resets run timer, stores last lap to memory. See Timer.........................................30
RUN: Timer is currently running, and displays total run timer, tracking total race time regardless of individual laps.
See Timer....................................................................................................................................................................30
Safety Precautions (DO NOT operate without reading).................................................................................................48
SBT1: subtrim, steering. See Subtrim..................................................................................................................................22
SBT2: subtrim, throttle. See Subtrim...................................................................................................................................22
SBT3: subtrim, channel 3. See Subtrim...............................................................................................................................22
Second Dual Rate: A second while-driving rate of servo response, available with the push of a switch, meant to be used
to temporarily have more/less servo travel available without having to readjust the dual rate adjustment dial proportional
to the EPA not the primary dual rate. Examples: getting away from walls, crashes, a single hairpin turn on an otherwise
non-technical track. See Steering Dual Rate. ................................................................................................................38
Service Center .......................................................................................................................................................................4
Servo Display: Displays the exact inputs being given to each servo. Helpful in troubleshooting, testing, experimenting
with new features, and beginning model setups prior to the model’s completion...............................................................39
SERVO Function: See Servo Display.................................................................................................................................39
Servo Output Arm: The removable arm or wheel which bolts to the output shaft of a servo and connects to the pushrod.
Servo Reversing: Causes servo to respond in exactly the opposite direction of its normal rotation.................................18
