STEERING GAIN The default value is 50%. As the value increases, the AVC steering stability increases. If the front wheels begin to shake, the ST Gain value is too high. Reduce the ST Gain value until the front wheels stop shaking.

THROTTLE GAIN The default value is 50%. As the value
increases, the throttle management increases.

PRIORITY The default value is 0%, meaning AVC technology is active throughout the steering range. As you turn the steering wheel away from center (neutral), the transmitter controls have priority over the AVC system. Increasing the Priority value decreases how active AVC is as the steering wheel is turned left and right. For example, if you increase Priority to 80%, you reduce the AVC steering control by 80% at full left or full right steering. Increasing the Steering Priority enables you to make tighter turns.

BINDING Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the specific transmitter’s code called GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) and storing failsafe values. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will only respond to that specific transmitter/ model memory.

To bind the transmitter to a receiver 1. Touch the Desired Frame Rate drop down
to select from 5.5ms, 11ms and 22ms. · 5.5ms is only available on certain
receivers from the model setup procedure. Check your receiver manual for more information. · If 5.5ms frame rate is selected in the transmitter, only two channels, Steering and Throttle, are operational. The Aux channels can be used to power a personal transponder or lights. · If a frame rate other than 5.5ms is selected, the Aux channels will operate as extra servo channels. 2. Following the instructions for your receiver, place the receiver in bind mode. 3. Touch the BEGIN BINDING button. IMPORTANT: Re-bind any time you change the frame rate in the transmitter.

DRIVE MODES Drive modes allow for different setups for a particular model. For example, you can create one drive mode for racing on a high bite clay track and another drive mode for a dry, loose track. Each model can have several drive modes programmed to a switch or button for on-the-fly changes between modes. The active drive mode is always displayed in the top left corner of the screen. Changes to model setup, trim and timers will only affect the active drive mode.

· Touch the On-the-Fly Button drop down to select a button or switch to enable instant mode changes. The number of drive modes available will change according to which button is chosen.
· Touch the Drive Mode button to change the drive mode name. Type in the desired name and touch the checkmark button to accept.
· Touch Flag Color to change the color of the Drive mode banner. Touch the desired color, and touch Save to accept.
· Touch Delete to delete drive modes (a model must have at least 1 drive mode).
· If more than 1 drive mode exists, touch the arrow buttons to re-order the list.

LAUNCH CONTROL This feature allows the driver to customize a launch curve to control the duration of time it takes to reach full throttle as well as adjusting points in the throttle curve to effectively ramp the throttle to the driver’s preference, allowing for consistent starts race after race.
TOC

LAUNCH CONTROL Start Button The start button controls the start of the Launch Control sequence. There are two common ways to use the start button:
· As a hand brake: Press and hold the assigned button to disable the throttle channel. The alert selected for the launch sequence will activate and continue until the sequence runs. With the button held, pull full throttle. When the race starts, release the button. The launch control sequence takes over and runs for the assigned duration. When the sequence is complete, the throttle trigger operates normally.

· As a pre-launch stage: When you are on the starting line, ready to run, tap the button to start the Launch Control sequence. The alert selected for the launch sequence will activate and continue until the sequence runs. When the race starts, pull full throttle to begin the run. The launch control sequence takes over and runs for the assigned duration. When the sequence is complete, the throttle trigger operates normally.
Simply press or hold your start button to restart the Launch Control sequence.
IMPORTANT: Once the Launch Control sequence has been started for a run, there is no way to reset it. If for any reason you start the sequence and need to abort the launch, release the throttle trigger, release the start button, then very lightly tap and release the throttle. The sequence will run through using 0 throttle power output.
Boost Button Boost is a push button/trimmer which, when pressed, adds a percentage of throttle to the output, effectively boosting your throttle output between 0-25%. The value shown is the percentage of throttle added when the button is pressed and held.

Curve Selector Curve Selector allows the selection of a different launch curve with the touch of the selected switch. This may be configured to as many positions as the selected switch supports. When set to None a total of five curves are available, and the curve selected is specified in the Active Curve field. If a switch is selected, the Active Curve field is not available. Simply toggle the selected switch to change between curves. Jump Enable Jump to automatically display the Launch Control Status screen when the selected start button is pressed. When disabled, access the Launch Control screen by scrolling to it from the dashboard screen or selecting the Launch Control tab from the main screen. The jump action is inactive when RF is disabled. Alert Type Add an alert to signify when the Launch Control is active. Choose between tone, vibrate, and tone + vibrate.
TOC

LAUNCH CURVE Duration Select the total duration time of the launch control sequence, up to 5.0 seconds.
Curve The default launch curve has 4 points. The first and last points will always be at 0,0 and 100,100 respectively and are not adjustable. The horizontal value represents time as a percentage of the total sequence duration. The vertical value represents throttle power output percentage.

Add up to 4 additional points (8 total) to the curve by touching the the curve where you wish to add a point. Change the position of the points by first touching the point to be adjusted, then dragging the Time or Power slider to make major value changes and the + or ­ button to fine tune the values.
TOC

LAUNCH CONTROL TIPS Start Button: set to any available switch that is easily accessible. An easy way to select the switch is to choose the option and press the button/trimmer on your transmitter to automatically change it to the switch of your choice. Launch control must be activated before every run down the track, so remember to hit the start button before every run. The fastest starts are achieved by holding down the start button, pulling full throttle, and releasing the start button when the race starts. Continue to hold full throttle until you reach the finish line or the run needs to be aborted. This method reduces the latency between your eyes and the starting tree, but it also allows for less margin of error while driving. When the launch control duration is completed, launch control is deactivated until the start button is pressed again. Boost Button: Boost is tricky to set ]correctly and use it during the short runs typical to drag racing, but it may be helpful on longer strips or slower vehicles. Like the start button, use a button that is easy to reach. Curve: set to Drive Mode to allow for up to 5 programmable throttle curves. Assign Drive

Mode to an open switch in the Drive Mode menu and select how many drive modes you would like to use, before proceeding to assign it in the Launch Control menu. We use the “I” switch next to the knob as it’s easy to toggle at the line and is not easy to accidently change. Alert: This lets the driver know launch control is active without looking at the screen. We suggest the Vibe option to prevent any noise distractions when watching the starting tree. Curve programming: The ideal curve will give maximum acceleration while minimizing wheel spin. We suggest using all available points in the curve as this allows for smoother response. Timing and power of each point will be determined by making test runs. With sensorless systems it helps to have higher power settings at the start of the curve to help reduce cogging off the start line. Duration: Longer duration makes the car feel and run slower as it takes longer to transit the programmed curve. This is helpful on low traction surfaces like dusty parking lots and streets. Shorter duration is ideal for high traction surfaces that allow for maximum acceleration.
· Low traction: 1.2-1.5s suggested
· High traction: .5-.9s suggested TOC
