acoms 2.4 dsss wheel version

[angieamyabbie]

Hiya,

I bought an Acoms technisport 2.4ghz handset and receiver from a fellow member on Oople which is great but unfortunately it didn't come with any instructions. Please can anyone point me in the right direction to find one or could somebody kindly scan a copy of theirs for me and email it to me as a PDF or something?

Thanks, any help I would really appreciate it. Please PM me if you can help.

Kind Regards

Found this guide on another forum somewhere and saved it as word, so can't remember where it came from!
Pasted below:

first step;
plugging it all in, since the transmitter doesn't need much plugging in just stick in 8 aa batteries. for the rx. first you should remove your previous reciever and unplug everything you should have three cables, one will be your battery, one your throttle servo [or esc for electrics] and the final your steering servo. firstly make sure you know which is which. your battery will go into the plug next to the one marked b [or the one closest the label] the one below the battery is the steering servo and below that is thr throttle, the last one is left open.

second step;
getting the transmitter to connect to the reciever, first press the button on the back of the transmitter and, still holding the button turn the transmitter on, the red light will flash. this means the transmitter is now on a sort of 'base' setting for it to register. now press the button on the reciever and again turn it on while holding this button, this also sets the reciever to the base setting and they should register automatically.

now before i cover the failsafe i will cover how to get your servos going the right way since this is pretty puzzling;
for the throttle, hold the throttle and use the trim switch [holding it means it changes the atv] hold the trim switch as it goes down to its lowest value [20] and hold it for a second or two, it should then beep and say 'rev' this means it is now reversed and you can reset the atv to whatever it was before. steering is pretty much the same as throttle only you hold the steering wheel.

ok now for the failsafe;
use the 'base setting' described earlier, press the button on the reciever and the led should either come on or go off, press the button until the led is off, then set where you want the throttle to be [usually braking or at idle unless your some sort of madman who wants to destroy their car ] by using the transmitter. now turn everything off then on again. for a second or two when the reciever is on it should go to your programmed setting [which i find very reassuring, nice to know it works]

final step;
turn on the transmitter then turn on the reciever, start your engine and thrash your car until it waves a little white flag or you run out of fuel and enjoy your new radio gear

additional notes;

there is a low battery alarm on the transmitter that is pretty persistent, if your failsafe begins to engage randomly without this alarm the batterys in your reciever need charged [you do use a rechargable hump/stick pack right? if not i do advise you get one, saves a fortune on AAs].

to setup for another model having bought another reciever simply hold the memory button until it comes up with memory, press memory again, it should say 2 on the lcd, turn the transmitter off then run through the setup process again for the new reciever. whenever you want to change cars just press memory and select whatever number that car has and after a second or two it will be ready to go.
