set up your limiting. Throttle Speed determines the percentage of full speed that is applied to the throttle movements that are above the throttle trigger setting. 100 is maximum servo movement rate. 1 is minimum rate. Default is 100 (full speed). Brake Speed determines the percentage of full speed that is applied to braking movements that are above the trigger setting. 100 is maximum servo movement rate. 1 is minimum rate. Default is 100 (full speed).
Changing the Throttle Speed Use the navigation controls to change the steering servo type as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. 2. Navigate to the Steering (Ch1) menu. or 3. Navigate to Throttle Speed. then or Value Throttle Speed 4. Change the values. or Brake Speed Throttle Trigger Brake Trigger Description The amount of limiting applied to servo throttle motion once the trigger amount has been exceeded.
Channels 3 / 4 Servo Trim Channel 3 and Channel 4 servo trim adjusts the resting (centered) positions of the servos. When initially setting up the vehicle, the shift servo trim setting should be set to 0. On the servo, the servo horn should be positioned as appropriate on the servo. Ch3 and Ch4 Trims On the driving screen, Channel 3 and Channel 4 servo trims are represented by the position of the pointers on the bottom bars.
Trim and EPA Interaction A trim (or sub-trim) setting of 100 is equivalent to an End point setting of 50. Channel 3 / 4 Servo Dual Rate Channel 3 and Channel 4 servo dual rates adjust the range of servo movement when the grip buttons are activated. The servo dual rate value is applied to both low and high ends, and is expressed as a percentage of servo range (configured by end point adjustments). On the driving screen, servo dual rate range is represented by the solid length of the bottom bar.
3. Navigate to Dual Rate. or Value 0 4. Change the value. or Description Servo range is set to minimum (0%). 1-99 Servo range is set to a percentage of full range. For example, value “50” gives 50% of full servo range. 100 Servo range is set to full (100%) Dual Rate and End Point Adjustment Full servo range is determined by the shift servo low and high end point adjustments. The dual rate value determines the relative servo range between the low and high end points.
Increased low end point value (more servo travel on LOW end is possible). Decreased low end point value (less servo travel on LOW end is possible). The position of the pointer on the bar is affected by end point settings (low and high) and trim setting; increasing the low end point value may visually appear to have the same effect as decreasing the high end point value. An end point setting of 100 (the default) is typical for most servos, and should always be used for ESCs.
High End Point The shift servo high end point value adjusts the servo’s ending position after shifting upwards. This is intended to be high gear and goes with the upshift sound event (reverse the servo if this is not the case on your model). The end point adjustments should be adjusted prior to other settings. The high end point is set independently of the low end point (which adjusts how far the servo moves to the LOW turns end).
The position of the pointer on the bar is affected by end point settings (low and high) and trim setting. Changing the high end point value has the following visual effect on the driving screen bars. High end point value is approximately the same as the low end point value. Increased high end point value (more servo travel on HIGH end is possible). Decreased high end point value (less servo travel on HIGH end is possible).

Because the React cannot use fractions, it is necessary to find two whole numbers that represent shaft turns and wheel turns. There are two ways to do this. One involves math and the other involves physically measuring the car’s rollout. Calculation method The rollout can be calculated if you know the diameter of your tire and the gear reduction ratios between tachometer installation point and the wheels. If you are not sure of these ratios, you should probably use the Measurement method.
Example: Your model was measured to travel 31 5/8” in 10 drive shaft revolutions. This is equivalent to 31” x 8 + 5” = 253” in 80 revolutions. Thus, the rollout parameter in should be set to 253, and the revolutions parameter should be set to 80 The higher the numbers you use, the lower your error will be and the more accurate your speed will be. The maximum value that can be used is 10,000. It may be more convenient to enter larger numbers using the Digital RC Desktop software.
Magnet revs:14 The motor must rotate 72 times for the Magnets to rotate 14 times. Tank Mode The Tank mode combines steering and throttle inputs to left-side and right-side drive. Tank mode Uses Ch1 as right drive servo and Ch2 as left drive servo. Throttle inputs affect both outputs equally. Steering input increases output on one side and decreases output on the other side. Mixing is applied after all other settings from both Ch1 and Ch2 (ABS, Autostart, both expo settings, etc).
Active Model The React can store all settings for up to forty vehicles. The Active Model function is used to select the model to be used. When you are connected to a transceiver, this list will only show models that apply to that transceiver. When unconnected, all of the models stored on your transmitter will be shown in the list. When binding with a transceiver in a vehicle, you must first select the active model to identify the vehicle.
When preparing to operate a vehicle, select the active model, then turn on the vehicle and React. The React searches for the transceiver with the VIN associated with the selected active model. For more information, see “The Binding Process” earlier in this manual. Selecting the Active Model Use the navigation controls to select the active model as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. 2. Navigate to the Manage Models menu. 3. Navigate to Active Model. 4. Select the active model.
