Instructions

    • 1

      Insert the bind plug into the input on the receiver labeled "BIND." Plug the battery into the vehicle, then turn on the truck and take notice of a blinking orange LED on the receiver. The light indicates the receiver is in bind mode.

      Turn on the transmitter and take notice of the blinking orange LED on the back of it. Wait until the blinking orange LEDs turn solid on both the transmitter and receiver, indicating they are bound and connected to one another.

      Use the throttle trim, found in front of the steering wheel, to maintain the vehicle's idle throttle setting. Turn the knob counterclockwise if the vehicle lurches forward; turn it clockwise if the vehicle lurches in reverse without input from the radio. Make necessary adjustments until the vehicle remains stationary when the throttle trigger is in the neutral position.

    • 4

      Use the steering trim, located in front of the steering wheel, to adjust the vehicle's steering. If the truck veers to the left or right without input from the steering wheel on the transmitter, offset this by turning the steering trim in the opposite direction. For example, if your truck veers left, turn the steering trim right (clockwise) until the wheels point straight ahead.
