Introduction
The Furitek Gripor V2 Transmitter and Receiver system is an advanced control solution designed for performance and versatility. This system features a compact receiver, making it suitable for Losi Micro-B/T, Mini, and Micro Crawlers. It supports both Furitek ESCs (like the Microbeast) and third-party ESCs, as well as micro servos, while maintaining plug-and-play compatibility with stock servos. The transmitter is lightweight and portable, ensuring reliable control for your micro or mini-scale RC adventures.

Setup Instructions
- Install Batteries in Transmitter: Open the battery compartment on the transmitter and insert the required batteries (not included), observing correct polarity. The transmitter supports a voltage input range of 4.8V to 12V.
- Connect Receiver:
- Connect the receiver to your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and servos. The receiver is compatible with Furitek ESCs (e.g., Microbeast), third-party ESCs, and micro servos. It also supports stock servos.
- Ensure all connections are secure and correctly oriented. The receiver operates within a voltage input range of 4.8V to 10V.
- Binding Procedure:
- Power on the receiver while holding the bind button (refer to the receiver diagram for exact location).
- Power on the transmitter. The indicator lights on both the transmitter and receiver should show a successful bind (e.g., solid green light).
- If binding fails, repeat the process. Ensure the transmitter and receiver are in close proximity during binding.
- Initial Calibration: After successful binding, calibrate the throttle and steering endpoints on your ESC according to the ESC manufacturer's instructions. This ensures proper response and prevents damage.
- Test Controls: Before operating your RC vehicle, perform a range check and verify that all controls (steering, throttle) respond correctly and smoothly.
Operating Instructions
- Power On Sequence: Always power on the transmitter first, then the receiver/vehicle. When powering off, turn off the receiver/vehicle first, then the transmitter.
- Steering Control: Use the steering wheel on the transmitter to control the direction of your RC vehicle. Turn the wheel left to steer left, and right to steer right.
- Throttle Control: Use the trigger on the transmitter to control forward and reverse movement. Pull the trigger back for forward motion, and push it forward for reverse/brake.
- Trim Adjustments: Use the trim dials on the transmitter to fine-tune steering and throttle neutral positions if the vehicle drifts or moves slightly when controls are centered.
- Voltage Alarms: The transmitter provides voltage alarms at 10.8V, 7.4V, and 4.4V to indicate low battery levels. Pay attention to these warnings to prevent unexpected power loss.
- Range: The transmission range is approximately 350–400 meters in open areas. Always operate within a safe visual range to maintain control.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the transmitter and receiver clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from the transmitter if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Battery Care: Always use fresh batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
- Antenna Care: Ensure the receiver antenna is not cut, bent sharply, or damaged, as this can affect signal range and reliability.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to transmitter | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries | Replace batteries or check polarity. |
| No control response from vehicle | Not bound, receiver not powered, incorrect connections, out of range | Perform binding procedure. Check receiver power and connections. Ensure vehicle is within operating range. |
| Erratic control or glitching | Interference, low battery voltage, damaged antenna | Move to an area with less interference. Check transmitter and receiver battery levels. Inspect receiver antenna for damage. |
| Vehicle drifts or moves at neutral | Incorrect trim settings | Adjust steering and/or throttle trim dials on the transmitter. |
