End points can be adjusted individually for left and right, as well as forward and back. If you feel your car doesn't turn as far left as it does right this can be employed to fix that. More commonly this is adjusted to ensure your rc car is going 'full throttle' with the transmitter trigger held 'at full throw'.
If your transmitter does not have manual end point adjustment it is often possible to configure it on the transmitter by entering a programming mode. See your model manual for more information. Found on higher-end controllers, an exponential adjustment will allow you to modify the behaviour of your transmitter inputs.
Perhaps you would like to soften the initial steering input without sacrificing the full steering lock, making the car more stable when inputting slight steering adjustments at high speed. The majority of transmitters have a power switch to turn them on and an LED to show their power status. Often this light can tell you if the battery of the transmitter is low or if the connection status is changing, refer to your manual for further clarification.
It is important to ensure you power down your transmitter as few have warning buzzers or power-down timeouts. Most transmitters accept four AA batteries some more advanced models needing the 12v of eight batteries however many of the premium transmitters now feature removable battery trays.
Once you have identified the often JST style of connector, these can be replaced with larger-capacity rechargeable NiMH battery packs. The majority of us use the bundled transmitter that comes with our models, but there are advantages beyond custom batteries and improved comfort in purchasing a higher-end transmitter from the likes of Spektrum.
Professional transmitters often feature profiles, allowing you to bind the controller to multiple models , each with their own setup and refinements. This also means less to carry when heading out with more than one car, not to mention less batteries to find. This allows you to master driving with your transmitter in a virtual simulator game environment, without the risk of trashing your expensive RC car!
More relevant to the receiver than the transmitter, many models feature a ' fail safe ' fall-back mode. Should the connection between the transmitter and receiver be interrupted such as driving out of range, the transmitter batteries failing, breaking the transmitter due to a fall and so on the receiver will return the signals to the ESC and servo to neutral, effectively stopping the model from driving any further.
You can safely test or discover the existence of your model's fail-safe by placing it 'wheels up', accelerating so the car wheels spin before turning off the transmitter with the throttle still applied.

The receiver that comes with the transmitter has been adjusted, so both are on the same frequency. However, if you have a transmitter of another brand from the receiver, can you use it? Yes, RC transmitters and receivers are interchangeable, so that you can use transmitters and receivers of different brands, and they will work perfectly.
However, there is only one condition: the transmitter and receiver must be on the same frequency. This is the fundamental rule of transmitters and receivers. To set the frequency of an RC car, you need to adjust the frequency setting on both the receiver and the transmitter so that both of them can accurately receive and translate signals. Here is how to change the frequency of an RC:.
First, set the transmitter to the desired frequency or channel, then disconnect the antenna. Next, connect an audio source like a cassette player or a compact disc CD to the transmitter.
The last thing you would do is set the receiver to the same frequency as the transmitter. However, you should take the receiver about twenty-five feet away from the transmitter before setting it. Since we said all receivers are interchangeable, you would be wondering if all 2.
This is a thought you would have, especially if the receiver of your RC car is 2. Unfortunately, 2. The surprising thing is that even if the receiver and transmitter are set to the same frequency. As long as it is a 2. The receiver will not receive signals from the transmitter. You should also know that 2. The reason for the discrepancy is the protocols set for the different receivers.
