Sub-Trim (Function Mode)
The Sub Trim function of the XR-2 is an electronic trimming
feature that allows the neutral position of the servo on either
the steering or throttle channel to be moved, while allowing
the electronic trim lever for that channel to remain in the cen-
ter position. This feature is very useful as it allows the servo
arm/wheel position to be moved to help with control linkage
installation, eliminating the need to make mechanical linkage
adjustments.
Although the Sub-Trim function is a very useful feature, it is
suggested that only small amounts of sub-trim be used so
that no unwanted, non-equal servo travel is created. It’s sug-
gested that less than 30 points of sub-trim be used during
adjustment. If more than 30 points of sub-trim are required,
it’s suggested that a mechanical linkage adjustment be per-
formed.
