THE RBRCTM SEAL (FOR U.S.A.)
The RBRCTM SEAL on the (easily removable) nickel-cadmium battery con-
tained in Futaba products indicates that Futaba Corporation of America is vol-
untarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batter-
ies at the end of their useful lives, when taken out of service within the United
States. The RBRCTM program provides a convenient alternative to placing used
nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste which is illegal in
some areas.
Futaba Corporation of America's payments to RBRCTM makes it easy for you to
return the spent battery to Futaba for recycling purposes. You may also contact
your local recycling center for information on where to return the spent battery.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in
your area. Futaba Corporation of America's involvement in this program is part
of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural re-
sources.

Mandatory Procedures
Extend the transmit-

Caution
Prohibited Procedures
Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of
the model that will generate heat while the model is operating
or immediately after its use.
These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.

When adjusting the transmitter on land while preparing to run (cruise), take measures
so that the wind will not knock over the transmitter.
If the transmitter is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally set to the operating position and you may
lose control.
(Failsafefunction)
Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.
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. When the reverse function was used
to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.
Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

Initial Set-Up
Preparations (Transmitter)
Before setting the transmitter functions, check and set items 1 to 3 below.
(Model No.)
Initial Set-Up
The model name is displayed for
about two seconds.
(Model name)
1. RF Output Check
If signals are output normally, RF output monitor “RF”
will be displayed on the screen.
If RF is not displayed, check if the transmitter crystal and
RF module are installed.
If the transmitter is abnormal or faulty, contact your
Futabadealer.
29
2. Modulation Mode Check
The T3PJ SUPER 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., R113F), the modula-
tion mode must be set to PPM. When using a PCM re- (PPM)
ceiver (e.g., R113iP), the modulation mode must be set
to PCM. If this setting is incorrect, change it with the
Mode Select (page 93) function.
(PCM)
3. Trims Initial Set-Up
- Steering trim (Trim 1) check
At initial set-up, steering trim (Trim 1) is assigned to
digital trim DT1 above the steering wheel. Operate the
DT1 lever and check if the steering trim display on the
screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim
display to the center (N) position.

Throttle Acceleration
Gas powered cars require a slight clearance in the linkage. Therefore, there is a lag

by reducing this time lag at the transmitter.

throttle acceleration function acts to reduce the time

When the throttle trigger is set to full throttle simultaneously with starting when the

When the Start function is activated, merely operating the throttle trigger slowly
causes the throttle servo to automatically switch from the set trigger position to a
preset point so that the tires do no loose their grip and the car accelerates smoothly.

When you want the slave channel to operate the same amount (initial setting) as the
master channel, make the following value the standard.
When the steering or throttle channel is the master channel, set the mixing rate to
75%. When CH3 is the master channel, set the mixing rate to 90%.

Tilt Mixing
Use this function when you want to apply both directions mixing from steering to

Optional Parts
The following parts are available as 3PJ SUPER options. Purchase them to match
your application. For other optional parts, refer our catalog.
Crystal Set
<Types of Crystals>
There are crystals for FM and AM, depending on the modulation mode, and crystals
for single conversion and dual conversion, depending on the receiver circuitry. The
R113iP and R113F are FM receivers. Use single conversion crystal sets with them.
Warning
Use only genuine Futaba crystal (receiver).
The use of other than Futaba crystal will result in decrease of range as well
as loss of control.
When purchasing a transmitter Ni-cad battery as a spare, etc., use the following:

This battery holder is necessary when using the transmitter with a dry cell battery.
For a description of how to install the battery holder to the transmitter, see “Ni-cad
Replacement”onpage18.
Part name
3PJ transmitter battery holder
Caution
Insert the batteries in the correct po-
larity.
If the polarity is incorrect, the transmitter may be
damaged.
<Check>
Turn on the power switch and check the LCD battery voltage display. When the
batteries are new, the voltage should be about 12V.
If the voltage does not rise, check for faulty contact or incorrect polarity.
<Processing the Dry Cell Batteries>
The method of processing used dry cell batteries depends on the area in which you
reside.Processthebatteriesinaccordancewiththeprocessingmethodforyourarea.
When the Data Pac is used, the model data for eight model can be saved, in addition
to the eight model memories provided with the transmitter. Since the Data Pac can be
freely carried as a separate unit, the saved data can also be used with other 3PJ SU-
PERtransmitters.

Glossary
The following defines the symbols and terms used in this instruction manual
Band Throttle
Frequency that receiver and transmitter operate on. Devise that controls the air mixture at the engine intake.
When opened a large air mixture is sucked in and the en-
Channel gine speed increases. When closed the engine speed de-
Represents the number of functions the transmitter will con- creases.
trol.
Throttle Trigger
Kit Devise provided on the transmitter to control the throttle.
A set of parts manufactured for building a model.
Trim
Modulation method Devise that fine adjusts the neutral point of each servo.
Two modulation methods are used with R/C systems: AM
(Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation).
Another method that encodes and transmits the modulated
signals is called "PCM".
Neutral
The center position. It is the point where the steering stick
and throttle stick return to when they are not being operated
Proportional
Because today's R/C systems control servos in proportion
to the transmitter operation they are called proportional.
Servo Horn
The part that is installed on the output shaft on the servo to
convert to rotating motion of the servo to transmit the linear
to a control rod., Servo horns come in various shapes.
Servo Mount
Advise used to secure the servo in the model. (Most often
supplied in the model kit)
Steering (ST)
System to make the model turn left or right using the front
wheels.
Reference
Steering Wheel
A devise for controlling the steering from the transmitter.
