3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Connecting the Receiver

  1. Ensure your RC vehicle's power is off before connecting the receiver.
  2. Connect the receiver to your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) or power source. The power connection is typically made to Channel 2 (CH2) or a dedicated BEC port, depending on your ESC.
  3. Connect the steering servo to Channel 1 (CH1).
  4. Connect any additional servos or accessories to Channels 3 (CH3) and 4 (CH4) as required by your setup.

3.2 Binding (Pairing) the Receiver with a Transmitter

The binding process establishes a secure wireless connection between your receiver and transmitter. This receiver is compatible with Turbo Racing P52, P32, and P62 transmitters.

  1. Ensure both the transmitter and receiver are powered off.
  2. Locate the "PAIR" pins on the receiver. These are typically two pins located near the channel ports.
  3. Use a bind plug (not included, often a small jumper wire) to short-circuit the "PAIR" pins. If a bind plug is not available, a small piece of wire can be used carefully to connect the two pins.
  4. Power on the receiver. The LED indicator on the receiver should start flashing rapidly, indicating it is in binding mode.
  5. While the receiver LED is flashing, power on your compatible Turbo Racing transmitter (P52, P32, or P62).
  6. The LED on the receiver should stop flashing and remain solid, indicating a successful bind.
  7. Power off both the receiver and transmitter. Remove the bind plug from the receiver.
  8. Power on the transmitter first, then the receiver. The receiver LED should illuminate solid, confirming the connection.

Note: If the binding process fails, repeat the steps. Ensure the bind plug is correctly inserted and removed at the appropriate times. Some users have reported success by connecting power to Channel 2 during binding.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation

  • After successful binding, power on your transmitter, then your RC vehicle (receiver).
  • Verify that the steering and throttle controls respond correctly to your transmitter inputs.
  • If controls are reversed, adjust the servo reverse settings on your transmitter.

4.2 Gyro Function (if applicable)

Some versions of this receiver may include a built-in gyroscope for stability control, particularly useful for drift cars. If your receiver has this feature:

  • The gyro sensitivity can typically be adjusted via a small button or dial on the receiver itself, or through a dedicated channel on your transmitter if supported.
  • To adjust gyro settings, use a thin tool to press the small button on the receiver. Observe the vehicle's behavior and adjust to your preference.
  • Test the gyro function in a safe, open area. The gyro helps maintain straight-line stability and assists in controlled drifts.

5. Maintenance and Care

  • Waterproof Feature: The RX41 receiver is designed to be waterproof. However, it is recommended to avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to high-pressure water jets. Always ensure all connections are dry before powering on.
  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the receiver with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the receiver in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Connection Integrity: Periodically check all wire connections for signs of wear or damage. Ensure plugs are securely seated in their respective ports.
