2. Setup Guide

2.1 Battery Installation (Transmitter)

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the transmitter handle.
2. Slide the cover open.
3. Insert four (4) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

The transmitter requires 4 AAA batteries for operation.

2.2 Receiver Connection

The RX41 receiver is a 4-channel unit. Connect the receiver to your RC vehicle's Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and servos according to your vehicle's specific wiring diagram. The receiver typically connects to the ESC via Channel 2 (throttle) and steering servo via Channel 1 (steering).

2.3 Binding the Transmitter and Receiver

To establish communication between the transmitter and receiver, a binding process is required. Follow these general steps:

1. Ensure both the transmitter and receiver are powered off.
2. Connect a bind plug (usually included with your RC vehicle or receiver) to the 'BIND' port on the RX41 receiver.
3. Power on your RC vehicle (which powers the receiver). The receiver's LED should flash rapidly, indicating it's in bind mode.
4. While holding down the 'BIND' button on the transmitter (if available, otherwise refer to specific transmitter instructions), power on the transmitter.
5. Release the 'BIND' button on the transmitter once its LED indicates a successful bind (usually a solid light). The receiver's LED should also turn solid.
6. Power off both the receiver and transmitter.
7. Remove the bind plug from the receiver.
8. Power on the transmitter first, then the receiver. Test controls to confirm successful binding.

2.4 Handle Disassembly/Assembly

The transmitter features a removable handle for easier storage and transport.

1. To remove: Gently slide the handle downwards and away from the main body of the transmitter.
2. To attach: Align the handle with the grooves on the transmitter body and slide it upwards until it clicks securely into place.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Basic Controls

• Steering Wheel: Rotate left or right to control the vehicle's steering.
• Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger towards you for forward movement/acceleration. Push the trigger away from you for braking/reverse.

3.2 Transmitter Overview and Adjustments

The transmitter features several buttons and switches for fine-tuning control.

• ST.TRIM (Steering Trim): Adjusts the neutral position of the steering servo. Use to make the vehicle drive straight when the steering wheel is centered.
• TH.TRIM (Throttle Trim): Adjusts the neutral position of the throttle. Use to prevent the vehicle from creeping forward or backward when the throttle trigger is released.
• ST.REV (Steering Reverse): Reverses the direction of the steering servo. If the vehicle steers right when you turn the wheel left, use this to correct it.
• TH.REV (Throttle Reverse): Reverses the direction of the throttle servo. If the vehicle goes reverse when you pull the trigger for forward, use this to correct it.
• ST.D/R (Steering Dual Rate): Adjusts the maximum steering angle. Lowering this value reduces the sensitivity of the steering.
• TH.D/R (Throttle Dual Rate): Adjusts the maximum throttle output. Lowering this value can limit top speed or acceleration.
• CH3 Button: Controls the third channel, typically used for auxiliary functions like lights, winches, or gear shifting, depending on your vehicle's setup.
• LED Indicator: Shows the power status and binding status of the transmitter.

3.3 Low Battery Warning

The transmitter is equipped with a low battery warning system. When the battery voltage drops below 4.5V, the LED indicator will typically flash or change color to alert you. Replace the AAA batteries promptly to ensure reliable operation and prevent loss of control.

4. Maintenance

4.1 General Care

• Keep the transmitter and receiver clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the components to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning.

4.2 Battery Care

• Always remove the AAA batteries from the transmitter when not in use for extended periods to prevent leakage and damage.
• Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

4.3 Receiver Waterproofing

The RX41 receiver is designed to be waterproof, making it suitable for use in various conditions. While it can withstand splashes and light rain, avoid submerging it completely in water for extended periods unless your vehicle is specifically designed for such use and all other electronic components are also waterproofed.

4.4 Storage

For compact storage and protection, the transmitter's handle can be detached. Store the transmitter and receiver in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Check if the transmitter's power switch is ON.
  • Ensure AAA batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify the receiver is properly connected to the vehicle's power source and the vehicle's power is ON.
• Loss of Control/No Signal:
  • Re-bind the transmitter and receiver (refer to Section 2.3).
  • Ensure the transmitter and receiver are within the specified operating range (120m).
  • Check for potential interference from other 2.4GHz devices or large metal objects.
  • Inspect all wiring connections between the receiver, ESC, and servos.
• Vehicle Not Driving Straight/Controls Unresponsive:
  • Adjust Steering Trim (ST.TRIM) to center the steering.
  • Adjust Throttle Trim (TH.TRIM) to ensure the vehicle is stationary at neutral throttle.
  • Check Steering/Throttle Reverse (ST.REV/TH.REV) settings if controls are operating in the opposite direction.
  • Verify Dual Rate (ST.D/R, TH.D/R) settings are not set too low, limiting control throw.
• Low Battery Warning:
  • Replace the four (4) AAA batteries in the transmitter immediately.
