•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

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.

REPAIR SERVICE

of from long use, describe the trouble symptoms in as much

This will facilitate detection of the trouble point and shorten

the repair period greatly.
