LAYOUT REMINDER GUIDE

(Make copies to track each model’s assignments.)

Note that DT1-3 and DL1-3 are always displayed onscreen. (See

FUNC-DIAL, pp. 34-35.)

Set-up Issue

Nitro engine is difficult to start.

Nitro boat engine is difficult to shut off.

Wheels spin on starts only, not when accelerating from turns.

Nitro engine coughs/stalls when full throttle is applied
quickly but not when applied slowly.

Nitro engine is too responsive to throttle inputs around idle.

Wheels spin whenever accelerating rapidly.

Nitro engine has little/no response when first applying
throttle/brake due to ‘slop’ in linkage.

Function to Use

Use idle-up to increase the idle for starting only. (

IDLE-UP)

Use engine cut (part of auto-start) to shut engine off at end
of run. (

AT-START)

Use auto-start function to slow throttle servo response on
starts. (

AT-START)

Decrease forward side of throttle servo speed. (

TH-SPEED)

Use throttle exponential to create an even throttle response
at all speeds. (

TH-EXP)

Decrease the throttle servo forward speed. (

TH-SPEED)

Use throttle acceleration to jump the throttle servo past the
slop. (

TH-ACCEL)
