MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE 2.4GHZ fREqUENCY bAND PRECAUTIONS • The 2.4GHz frequency band may be used by other devices, or other devices in the immediate area may cause interference on the same frequency band. Always before use, conduct a bench test to ensure that the servos operate properly. Also, conduct checks with the transmitter as distant as possible from your model. • The response speed of the receiver can be affected if used where multiple 2.

MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER DIAGRAMS Use the diagrams below to familiarize yourself with the different parts of your MX-V 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS-2 transmitter and 92625 (RX-37E) receiver. Descriptions of these parts can be found in the Transmitter and Receiver Layout Descriptions section on the next page. The transmitter antenna is mounted internally and is located in the front portion of the transmitter.
T MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER DIAGRAM DESCRIPTIONS Antenna: Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver in the model. Antenna Wire: Receives the transmitter signal. The antenna wire should be installed through a nylon tube (antenna tube) in the vertical position for the best reception. Do not alter the length of the antenna or the operation of the receiver will be compromised.
MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE RECEIVER CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING Use the diagram below to make the connections to the 92625 (RX-37E) 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS-2 receiver included with your MX-V 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS-2 radio control system. The receiver's Nominal Input Voltage is 4.8 ~ 7.4 volts. A 2 cell Li-Po or 2 cell Li-Fe battery pack can be used to power the receiver without the use of a voltage regulator.
T MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE LCD AND PROGRAMMING KEYS Selecting menus and programming the transmitter is accomplished using the four programming keys. PROGRAMMING KEY NAME FUNCTION MENU DOWN Cycles down through the list of menus and sub-menu functions you would like to make programming changes to. Press the MENU UP and MENU DOWN keys at the same time to display the Voltage Monitor.
MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE THROTTLE fAIL SAfE PROGRAMMING The Throttle Fail Safe function automatically moves the throttle servo to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or to low transmitter battery voltage. For example, the Throttle Fail Safe function can be set so that the throttle returns to idle or the brake engages so that your model doesn't run away if the signal is lost.
T MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE D/R - DUAL RATE The Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of your model's steering by changing the amount of servo travel relative to control input. For example, by increasing the Dual Rate, you can make the steering servo travel more which might prevent your model from pushing during turns. If your model oversteers during turns, you can reduce the amount of Dual Rate.
MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE EPA - END POINT ADjUSTMENT Adjusting the Steering End Point Adjustment Percentage Values: Your model’s turning radius can differ from left to right because of variations in linkage, suspension balance, tire diameter or weight distribution. In such cases, Left Steering servo travel and Right Steering servo travel are adjustable using the End Point Adjustment function. 1) Press the MENU UP or MENU DOWN keys to open the EPA menu.
T MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE EPA - END POINT ADjUSTMENT Adjusting the Auxiliary Channel 3 End Point Adjustment Percentage Values: Auxiliary Channel 3 can be used for a number of different uses. One of the more common uses would be for the reverse function in a glow-powered monster truck. Often, the transmission only requires a small amount of travel, but the servo binds because of too much servo travel.
MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE EXP - EXPONENTIAL Adjusting the Steering Exponential Percentage Value, Continued: 2) Press the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to change the Steering Exponential percentage value. Decreasing the Steering Exponential percentage value will make the steering less sensitive around Neutral and increasing the Steering Exponential percentage value will make the steering more sensitive around Neutral. EXP ST setting range is -100% (Mild) to 100% (Quick).
T MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE ALb - ANTI-LOCK bRAKING Activating the Anti-Lock Braking Function, Continued: 2) Press the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to choose the desired Anti-Lock Braking Pulse Rate value. The Pulse Rate value determines how fast the throttle servo pulsates the brake. Experimentation will be necessary to determine which Pulse Rate value to use. ALB setting range is OFF, SLW (Slow), NOR (Normal) and FST (Fast). The default setting is OFF.
MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE TRIM - SERVO TRIM Controlling the Servo Trim Function: 1) Steering and Throttle Servo Trim can be adjusted at any time while driving. Trim Switch Trm1 controls the Steering Right and Left Servo Trim and Trim Switch Trm2 controls the Throttle Forward and Brake Servo Trim. When you press the Trim Switches, the Servo Trim values change in 1º increments.
T MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE SUb-T - SERVO SUb-TRIM After adjusting the Servo Sub-Trim values, use the End Point Adjustment function to set the desired amount of maximum servo travel in both directions. For more information, see the End Point Adjustment section on pages 11 through 13. Changing the Steering Servo Sub-Trim Value: 1) Press the MENU UP or MENU DOWN keys to open the SUB-T menu. SUB-T will flash and ST 0 will be displayed.
MX-V 3-CHANNEL 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE NAME - MODEL NAMING The Model Naming function allows you to name each of the 10 different models. This makes it easy to keep track of multiple models. The Model Name can consist of up to 3 upper-case letters, numbers or symbols, or a combination of all three. Before naming your model, use the Model Select function to choose the Model Number you would like to name. For more information, see the Model Select section on page 16.
