•A common power supply regulator and diode may also be supplied with the speed controller, depending on the vehicle
kit. Since they cause a voltage drop, always remove them.
TO BUYERS OF THE FP-2GS (FP-R102GF)
When using a Futaba motor control amp instead of
the speed controller supplied with the vehicle, turn
off the ASP (Adjustable Safety Position) system as
shown in the figure.

•Set the transmitter power switch to ON, then set the receiver
power switch to ON. The servos stop near the neutral position.
Operate the transmitter sticks and check if each servo faithfully
follows operation of the sticks.
•Connect the pushrod to each servo horn, then check if the direc-
tion of travel of each servo matches the transmitter operation.
•Operate each servo over its full travel and check if the pushrod
binds or is too loose. Applying unreasonable force to the servo
horn will adversely affect the servo and quickly drain the battery.
Be especially careful when using 8.4V.
•Always make the full stroke (including trim) of the servo horns
somewhat larger than the full travel. Adjust the servo horns so
that they move smoothly even when the trim lever and stick are
operated simultaneously in the same direction.
• Be alert for noise.
Always solder a noise killing capacitor to the running motor. If
metal parts touch each other due to vibration, noise will be gener-
ated and cause the receiver servos to operate erroneously. We re-
commend the use of noiseless parts.
• Even though the receiver antenna wire is long, do not cut
or
bundle it. The range of the radiowaves will be shortened.
• A spare horn is provided. Use it as required.
•Wrap the receiver in sponge rubber and wrap rubber bands around
the sponge rubber. Mount the receiver so it is not exposed to vi-
bration, does not touch the frame, and does not move.
•When the receiver is installed on a board or used where it may be
splashed with mud and water, place it in a plastic bag, etc. and
wrap a rubber band around the open end of the bag to waterproof
and dustproof the receiver. After use, remove the receiver from
the bag to prevent condensation.
• Use the rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to hold the
servo and switch leads.
•After mounting is complete, recheck each part, then check the
transmitting range by making the transmitter antenna as short as
possible and extending the receiver antenna fully and operating
the set from a distance of 20m to 30m. The movement of each
servo should follow the movement of the transmitter sticks.
•The crystal can be changed from the outside of the receiver case.
Always use a Futaba transmitter and receiver crystal pair as the
replacement crystals.

• Install the servos firmly. Install the servo to the servo tray
as shown in the figure. In other cases, install the servo as
described in the model manufacturer's manual.
