model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very
dangerous situation.
Check Method;
Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:
1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.
2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail
safe data to the receiver every minute.)
3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.
The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when
reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect.

Before Using
Features
- PLL Synthesizer System (Transmitter T3PM-FS only)
3PM PLL synthesizer transmitter is easy to change the frequency only by selecting a
desired frequency on a transmitter LCD screen.
- High Response System (H.R.S.) (Receiver R203HF only)
When used with the H.R.S. system, a speed of triple that of an FM system at average
response is realized. (Comparison with other Futaba products)
- Simple segment type LCD display and four edit keys for easy data setup
- 10 models memory
Before Using
Model names can use up to 3 letters, numbers, and symbols so that easily understood
names can be set. Model copy function simplifies creation of a model memory with
different fine setups.
- Two function groups: Frequently used functions / System functions
Frequently used functions can be easily called from the initial screen with Select Key
(SEL).
- Brake mixing for large cars (BMX)
Brake mixing of the front and rear wheels of 1/5GP cars, etc. has balance adjustment
functions.
- Steering dual rate (D/R-ST)
Steering angle can be adjusted with digital trim lever.
- Anti-skid Braking System (ABS)
This function applies the brakes so that the tires of gasoline engine cars, etc. do not
lose their grip on the road even when braking at corners.
- Throttle acceleration (ACC)
Gasoline engine cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes are connected. The
ACC function minimizes this time lag.
- Steering speed (SPD)
When you sense that the steering servo is too fast, etc., the servo operating speed
(direction that suppresses the maximum speed) can be adjusted.
- Racing timer (TIMER) : Up timer or Down timer can be selected.
A lap time can record 100 lap times and the total time. The timer can also be started
automatically by trigger operation. The race time can be set.
- Digital trim: Steering trim, Throttle trim, Steering D/R
The current position is displayed on the LCD screen for about three seconds when
each digital trim is operated.
- Function select lever function (FNC-DT1/DT2/DT3/DT4)
This function assigns a function to levers (digital trims, grip levers). Trim positioning
at each model call is unnecessary because all the levers are digital.
12
- Function select switch function (FNC-SW1/SW2)
This function assigns a function to the two installed switches.
- Condition 2 Selection
In specific functions, two rates can be set up, and switched with SW1 switch simulta-
neously during a run.
- NEW design considers operability and weight balance
- Tension adjustment function
The wheel tension can be adjusted from the outside.

2. Modulation Mode Check
The T3PM transmitter output signal format can be changed to match the type of
receiver. Check if the modulation mode is set to match the receiver used.
When using an FM receiver (e.g., R133F), the modulation mode must be set to "PP"
(PPM). When using a H.R.S receiver (e.g., R203HF), the modulation mode must be
set to "HR" (HRS). If this setting is incorrect, change it with the HRS/PPM Select
function (page53).
Initial Set-Up
- Throttle trim (DT2) check Throttle trim
position
At initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to digital trim
DT2 at the left side of the steering wheel. Operate the
DT2 lever and check if the throttle trim value on the
screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim
value to the center (0) position.

on the screen changes. After checking D/R, set the
steering dual rate to 100%.

Fail safe function/FAIL SAFE
(This function can only be used with HRS system receivers.)
Fail safe function
This function moves the steering, throttle and channel 3 servos to a preset position
when the receiver cannot receive the signal from the transmitter for some reason.
When the servo operation position is not set, this function operates so that the servos
remain in the position they were in immediately before reception was lost. When the
signal from the transmitter can be received again, this function automatically resets.
- For gasoline engine cars, it is recommended that the throttle channel be set to the
direction that applies the brakes.
- When the transmitter power is turned on, the transmitter transfers the fail safe data to the receiver
and continues to transfer the data every minute thereafter. Note that data for about 1 minute after
the receiver power is turned on is not transferred because usually, the transmitter power is turned
on first and the receiver power is turned on next.
