JR XS3
JR’s newest racing radio control system is an
incredible combination of synthesized signal simplicity and an outstanding list
of features.
Using synthesized signal processing, the XS3 allows
racers to dispense with crystals and adjust their system’s signal to whatever
frequency the track environment requires. No more sitting out a heat because
someone else shares the same channel. Racers can simply tune in an unused
frequency and continue racing.
Along with this sophisticated new technology, the
XS3 features all the outstanding programming functions that users of other JR
systems have come to know and love. This includes multipoint throttle curves,
dual-rate steering, 6-model memory, exponential and many other tuning options.
The XS3 even has a separate button for use with nitro trucks that have
reversible transmissions, such as the Traxxas T-Maxx.
Each XS3 system includes one Z590M metal gear servo
and one Z270 servo and is available in 75MHz or 27MHz bandwidths. The XS3 is
available wherever the best racing systems are sold.
Features:
- Static Brake, Panic Brake, Steering
Trim Rate Adjustments. These allow on-the-fly digital adjustments of
critical race functions.
- Exponential Rates for Steering and
Throttle. Provide for non-linear rate adjustment to increase or decrease
sensitivity around neutral without impacting end-points.
- Throttle Deadband Adjustment.
Similar to the R-1 radio's 'Quick Throttle" feature, this feature eliminates
the backlash of mechanical throttle linkages in gas cars.
- Steering-to-Aux Channel Mixing.
Permits fine tuning of handling with 4WD steering.
- Throttle-to-Aux Channel Mixing.
Useful for adjusting brake bias with independent front/rear brakes.
- Lap Timer. Records up to 999
seconds, and up to 50 lap times for retrieval and analysis.
- Fast Frame Rate Modulation.
Selectable PPM, High speed or Normal.
- Emergency Steering Button. Allows
driver to achieve full servo travel regardless of steering rate dial position.
- Selectable 3rd channel function.
Can be programmed for linear operation (through digital trim), dual position
(through grip button C for T-Maxx users) or inhibited (to use 3rd channel for
mixing).
- All the "Standards" you'd expect.
Servo Reversing, End-Point Adjustment, Sub-Trim, Model Naming, Copy Model
Function, Digital Steering/Throttle Trim, Clear Data Function.
