SaFETY
This radio control system operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band. The 2.4GHz connection is determined by the transmitter
and receiver pair. Unlike ordinary crystal-based systems, your model can be used without frequency control.
This is a high-output full-range radio control system that should well exceed the range needed for any surface model. For
safety, the user should perform a range test at the area of operation to ensure that the radio control system has complete
control of the model a the farthest reaches of the operational area. Rather than operating the model, we recommend that the user
enlist the help of a fellow modeler to walk the model to the farthest reaches of the track (or for boats, to walk the shore line well in
excess of the operational distance of the boat), then test for proper operation.

USagE PREcaUTiOnS
TRanSMiTTER PREcaUTiOnS
In addition to the Safety and FCC Compliance sections on the previous page, please observe the following precautions when
installing and using your Sanwa EXZES X 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system.
l
The receiver antenna consists of a coaxial cable and a reception wire (the thin tip at the end of the coaxial cable). When you
mount the receiver antenna, do not bend the reception wire. Reception performance decreases if the reception wire is bent.
l
The antenna wire is delicate, therefore, handle with care. Do not pull on the antenna wire with force. Do not cut or extend the
antenna wire.
l
The coaxial cable (the thicker portion or the antenna) can be bent into gentle curves, however, do not
bend the coaxial cable acutely, or repeatedly bend it, or the antenna core can be damaged.
l
The antenna wire should be installed into a vertical plastic tube per your particular model's assembly instructions. Keep the
receiver antenna as far away from the motor, battery, and ESC as possible.
l
There is a danger of runaway operation if connectors shake loose during use. Make sure that the receiver,
servo(s), and switch connectors are securely tted.
l
The receiver is susceptible to vibration, shock, and moisture. Take appropriate measures to protect against
vibration and moisture. Failure to take appropriate measures could result in runaway operation or damage to
the receiver. We suggest wrapping the receiver in shock-absorbing foam when installing it into your model.
l
When installing the receiver, avoid contact with any carbon or metal chassis components.
l
Contact between metal parts mounted on a model can result in electrical noise, which can adversely effect
receiver performance and possibly result in runaway operation or damage to your model.
l
With electric-powered models, be sure to t the motor with a noise suppression capacitor. Without a noise suppression
capacitor, excessive electrical noise generation can cause runaway operation and/or result in damage to your model.
l
Use rubber anti-vibration absorbers with servos. Direct transmission of engine vibration to servos can cause servo failure and
possibly result in runaway operation with damage to your model.
l
Turn the transmitter ON rst, then turn the receiver ON. After using your model, turn the receiver
OFF rst, then turn the transmitter OFF. It can be dangerous if you Activate the components in
reverse order as the servos may start up inadvertently.
l
Before use, double-check that the transmitter and receiver batteries have sufcient
power and/or are sufciently charged.
l
Never touch the transmitter antenna during use. Doing so may cause loss of transmitter output, making it
impossible to control your model.
l
The transmitter antenna should be rotated and angled so that the antenna is as close to perpendicular to the ground as
possible during use. After use, to prevent any chance of damaging the antenna, the antenna should be
rotated and moved into the horizontal stowed position.
l
Do not expose the transmitter to excessive heat, moisture, fuel, exhaust
residue, etc. Do not expose the transmitter to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight can damage the LCD.
l
Do not press the Bind Button during use. The signal is interrupted while the Bind Button is pressed. It
may also require a short time to restore the signal after releasing the Bind Button, which can be dangerous.
l
If the outer case becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. If the outer case becomes soiled, it can be cleaned with
a damp cloth and liquid detergent. Do not use any solvents to clean the outer case. Solvents will damage the nish.
REcEivER PREcaUTiOnS
2.4gHz FREqUEncY BanD PREcaUTiOnS
l
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.
l
The response speed of the receiver can be affected if used where multiple 2.4GHz radio controllers are being used, therefore,
carefully check the area before use. Also, if response seems slow during use, stop your model immediately and discontinue use.
l
If the 2.4GHz frequency band is saturated (too many radio controllers on at once), as a safety precaution, the radio control
system may not bind. This ensures that your radio control system does not get hit by interference. Once the frequencies have
been cleared, or the saturation level has dropped, your radio control system should be able to bind without any problems.

than 7.4 volts to power the receiver. When using an ESC, it should feature a BEC circuit that lowers the voltage to the receiver
to between 4.8 volts and 7.4 volts.
Set your model on a stand so the wheels are off the ground before turning on your radio control system or connecting
your motor for the rst time.
Use the diagram below to make the connections to the RX-451 4-Channel receiver.
The RX-451 receiver's Nominal Input Voltage is 4.8v ~ 7.4v. This means that a 2 cell Li-Po or 2 cell Li-Fe battery can safely
be used to power the receiver without the use of a voltage regulator
WARNING If you are using a 7.4 volt receiver battery, you MUST also use 7.4 volt-rated servos. Using 6.0 volt servos with a
7.4 volt receiver battery can result in damage to your servos and will not be covered under warranty.
1) Install four fresh 'AA' Alkaline batteries into the battery holder, making sure that the polarity is correct. The direction that each
battery should be installed is molded into the battery holder (+ Positive and - Negative).

Instead of using Alkaline batteries to power the transmitter and receiver, you can use individual rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH
batteries, or you can use a 2 cell Li-Po, or a 2 cell Li-Fe battery pack. Either option will provide longer usage time and reduced
cost in the long run, since you won't need to continuously purchase new Alkaline batteries.
The EXZES X 2.4GHz FHSS-3 transmitter features a Charging Jack, which can be used with the optional Sanwa 95035 AC
Transmitter Charger to recharge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH the batteries without removing them from the transmitter. For more information on
the use and charging of Li-Po and Li-Fe battery packs, see the Using Li-Po or Li-Fe Batteries section below.
1) Install optional 1200mAh or greater Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (available separately) into the transmitter, following the
steps in the Transmitter Battery Installation section on the previous page.
WARNING Do NOT attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries. Do not use the Charging Jack with a fast charger or Peak-Detection
charger or the transmitter could be damaged.
WARNING Use the recommended optional Sanwa 95035 AC Transmitter Charger or damage to the transmitter could
result. An after-market peak-detection charger and/or cycler should NOT be used to charge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries through the transmitter. The circuitry within the transmitter can interfere with the peak-detection charger's normal
operation, resulting in over-charging and damaging the batteries, and possibly the transmitter itself. A peak-detetction charger
can be used, but ONLY if the batteries are charged outside of the transmitter.
1) Plug the Sanwa 95035 AC Transmitter Charger into a 110v ~ 240v AC power outlet.
2) Plug the round connector from the charger into the Charging Jack in the transmitter. The charger LED will illuminate red,
indicating that the charger is charging. When the charging process completes, the charger LED will turn green.
3) The charger output is 150mAh, therefore, it will take approximately 8 hours to recharge fully-discharged 1200mAh
batteries (1200/150=8). Charge time will vary depending on the mAh capacity of the batteries you're charging. For example,
2200mAh batteries would require a 15 hour charge (2200/150=14.6).
l
Before charging the batteries, double-check that the transmitter is turned OFF.
l
Overcharging reduces the life of the batteries and can result in overheating and bursting. This may cause personal injury
and/or property damage.
l
Do not plug the recommended charger into anything other than a 110v ~ 240v AC power outlet. Plugging the charger into
anything other than a 110v ~ 240v AC power outlet may result in smoking, sparks, or re.
l
Do not throw the batteries or abuse them in any manner. Do not dispose of the batteries in the re or allow it to overheat.
l
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with wire or any other object.
This section describes recharging only optional Ni-Cd or Ni-MH transmitter batteries using he Sanwa 95035 AC Transmitter
Charger. If you use Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries for the receiver, or a Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-Po, or Li-Fe receiver battery pack, you
will need to use a different type of charger. For more information and charger recommendations, visit your local hobby retailer.

The Binding function allows you to 'Bind' the transmitter and receiver pair. When new, it is necessary to pair the transmitter and
receiver to prevent interference from radio controllers operated by other users. This operation is referred to as 'Binding'. Once
the Binding process is complete, the setting is remembered even when the transmitter and receiver are turned OFF. Therefore,
this procedure usually only needs to be done once. Under some circumstances, the receiver may not operate after turning the
transmitter and receiver ON. If this occurs, perform the Binding process again.
Before beginning the Binding procedure, connect your servos and battery to the receiver, using the diagram on page 10.
Make sure that both the receiver and the transmitter are turned OFF.
The EXZES X 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system uses FHSS-3 technology, however, the transmitter is compatible with
both FHSS-3 and FHSS-2 Sanwa or Airtronics 2.4GHz surface receivers. To bind the transmitter to an FHSS-2 2.4GHz
receiver (available separately), the transmitter Modulation Type must rst be changed to FH2. For more information, see page 46.
1) Turn the transmitter ON, then press the two Function keys at the same
time until Function Menu F3 is displayed. If necessary, press the Right
Function key or the Left Function key until the SET-UP menu is highlighted.
2) With the SET-UP menu highlighted, press the Right Function key to
select [BIND] in the Programming Window. SET BIND BUTTON will be
displayed in the Programming Window.
3) Press the key. SEND BIND COMMAND will be displayed in the
Programming Window.
When the Binding procedure is successful, the Bind LED on the receiver will stay solid blue when both the transmitter and
receiver are turned ON. If the Bind LED on the receiver is ashing rapidly, the transmitter and receiver are not paired. In
this case, turn both the transmitter and receiver OFF, then repeat the Binding procedure.
5) After ~ 2 seconds release the Bind Button. The Bind LED on the
receiver will continue to ash slowly. Quickly press the ENTER key on
the transmitter. SENDING will be displayed in the Programming Window,
the Bind LED on the receiver will ash rapidly, then the Bind LED on the
receiver will turn solid indicating the binding process is complete.
After releasing the Bind Button, you must press the ENTER key quickly (within a couple of seconds). If you take too much
time, you will need to restart the Binding procedure.
4) While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver, turn the receiver
ON. The Bind LED on the receiver will ash slowly.
Use the tip of a pencil or a 1.5mm hex wrench to reach the Bind Button on the receiver.

The Steering Dual Rate function is used to change the amount of steering servo travel
compared to the amount of physical movement of the steering control stick. For
example, by increasing the Steering 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 Steering Dual Rate.
FUncTiOn PagE F1
5) After the Steering Dual Rate percentage value has been set, adjust the left and right End Points using the End Point
Adjustment function. For information, see the next page.
1) Set the steering trim to '0' using the Trm1 switch. You can see when the trim reaches '0' by

3) Move the steering control stick right and left to full. Adjust the Dual Rate percentage
value to decrease or increase the amount of steering to reach the steering stops
without binding. For more information, see step 4 below.
WARNING The Steering Dual Rate percentage value should not be increased
to the point where your steering linkage and servo bind when the steering control
stick is moved all the way to the right or left. Binding will cause the steering servo
to 'buzz', resulting in a quicker loss of battery power and damage to the servo.
2) Attach the steering linkage to the servo horn per your model's assembly manual, then install the servo horn onto the steering
servo, making sure it's as close to being centered as possible. Use the Servo Sub-Trim function to center the servo arm
exactly, then mechanically adjust both wheels to point straight ahead. For more information, see page 32.

The End Point Adjustment function is used to adjust the desired amount of servo travel
in both the right and left directions independently. The End Point Adjustment function
can be set for the Steering channel, Throttle channel, Auxiliary channel, and Brake
channel (4CH Mode).
In the default conguration (FH3 Modulation), the transmitter is set to 4CH Mode. If you are using FH2 Modulation with an
FHSS-2 receiver, the default conguration is 2CH Mode. For information on enabling 4CH Mode when using an FHSS-2
receiver, see page 47.
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.
Before making Steering End Point Adjustments, you must make sure that the servo horn is centered. Install the servo horn
onto the steering servo, making sure it's as close to being centered as possible, then us the Servo Sub-Trim function to
center the servo arm exactly. For more information, see page 32.
EPA ST setting range is between 0% and 150% in either direction. The default setting is 100%.
Setting the Dual Rate and Steering End Point Adjustment percentage values excessively high may cause a dead point on
the servo, resulting in improper operation or servo failure.
Your model's carburetor may not open completely, or it may open too much and cause the throttle servo to bind. If you're using an
Electronic Speed Control (ESC), the ESC may not command full power, or the brake may not engage adequately. In such cases,
Throttle High servo travel and Throttle Brake servo travel are adjustable using the End Point Adjustment function.
EPA TH setting range is between 0% and 140% in the H (throttle Side) position and anywhere between 0% and 160% in the B
(throttle Brake) position. The default setting is 100% in both directions.
1) Press the Function key to move the cursor to [TH] in the EPA Programming

The Exponential function allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the
movement of the steering and control sticks near the neutral positions to change the
way the steering, throttle, and brake react to control movement. Increasing the
Exponential percentage value will soften the control feel around neutral and decreasing
the Exponential percentage value will heighten the control feel around neutral. Using
a lower negative value allows for smoother control. Using a higher positive value may result in more 'twitchy' control response.
Steering Exponential can be variably adjusted from Mild through Linear to Quick to allow you to set the most effective steering
response for your model. Generally, if your model over-steers, reduce the Exponential percentage value, and if your model
under-steers, increase the Exponential percentage value.
EXP-ST setting range is between -100% (Mild) to 100% (Quick). The default setting is 0% (Linear).
Use the TWEAK setting when you want to ne-tune the left and right steering balance. This allows you to move and pinpoint the
neutral position of the Exponential function independently anywhere between the Steering End Points, not just the center. This
ensures that Exponential is balanced for both the right and left sides.
EXP ST TWEAK setting range is between -20 to 20. The default setting is 0.
1) Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the TWEAK setting.
2) To adjust left-hand steering, move the steering control stick to the left.
