I. Pistol Grip Control System
RC6GS, transmitter with chip STM32F103RB, receiver R7FG with 32 bits industrial chip, 12ms only from
transmitter to the receiver, thus provide synchronous control and perfect performance .
The same FHSS spread spectrum and 67channels pseudo random frequency sequence hopping of AT9S
makes RC6GS have superior anti-interference ability both at the same frequency band and different
frequency bands.
Control distance is up to 600 meters.

1.2.2 Working Mode
R7FG has four working modes:

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
Gyro Phase
Only the phase is correctly set that the gyro can always revise directions.
When the gyro forward is enabled, try to turn the model car to check if the gyro is correcting the wheels.
Normally, the wheels should turn right to correct when the car is turned left while the wheels should turn left to
correct when the car is turned right. If the gyro phase is reversed, short press the binding button (ID SET)
twice in 1 second. The Red indicator flashes twice means the gyro phase setting is complete.
2. Big models may contain metal parts that influence signal emission. In this case, antennas should be
positioned at both sides of the model to ensure the best signal status in all circumstances.
4
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
3. Antennas should be kept away from metal conductor and carbon fiber at least half inch away and no over
bending.
4. Keep antennas away from motor, ESC or other possible interference sources.
5. Sponge or foam material is advised to use to prevent vibration when installing receiver.
6. Receiver contains some electronic components of high-precision. Be careful to avoid strong vibration and
high temperature.
7. Special vibration-proof material for R/C like foam or rubber cloth is used to pack to protect receiver.
Keeping the receiver in a well sealed plastic bag can avoid humidity and dust, which would possibly make the
receiver out of control.
When all the above steps are complete, please turn off the transmitter and re-power on to test if the receiver is
correctly connected with it.
Warning can be set with a certain low RSSI value after testing by changing distance:
Press EXIT and ENTER simultaneously to enter MENU=>press Inc(+) to highlight “ALARM” =>Press ENTER
to (dis)activate the warning and set the RSSI warning value.
Only when the RC6GS is the 3-way switch version and updated with the latest version of V6.0.0 or above that
can make binding with R7FG/R8F. Besides the return of RSSI, receiver voltage, model battery voltage
(maximun up to 6S lithium battery) can also be returned in real time. Users can personalize the warning value
of low model battery voltage depending on the actual needs.
Note: The 'RATE: RPM' and 'T: NULL' telemetry functions are still under development. If there are new
developments, we will announce them to the Radiolink official website as soon as possible, thanks for your
attention.

Press EXIT and ENTER simultaneously to enter MENU=>press Inc(+) to highlight “ALARM =>Press ENTER
to set the model battery voltage warning value.
Normally we set the warning value with the single cell voltage as 3.7V. For example, if it is 3S lithium battery
used in the model car, the warning value should be set as (3.7V*3S=)11.1V.
Model battery voltage return can be easily achieved by connecting the male end of the battery wire to ESC
while the female end to the battery and the wire with a JST head connects BAT (+-) of R7FG/R8F as below
pic shown. No extra module is needed.
Once connect with success, the returned model voltage will be displayed on the interface of returned flight
information.

Model Name
The system can store the data for 10 models, model name will show on the LCD when you power on the
transmitter. Please make sure the model name is the right one that you want.
If the model name you chose is not corresponding with your model, the settings should be wrong.
Transmitter Voltage
In addition to the model, LCD can show the voltage of battery. When the voltage is lower than 4.6V, it would
start the low-voltage alarm, it would send out “DDD…” sounds, till the transmitter is power-off. When you hear
the low-voltage alert, you have no more than 4 minutes for controlling your model, please safely stop your
model before the uncontrolled situation. Please make sure the battery voltage is higher than this voltage data
while radio controlling.

-ABP(Amount of brake return): Sets the rate at which the servo returns versus trigger operation for brake
release. When set to 0, the ABS function is not
Performed. When set to 50, the servo returns 50% (1/2)of the trigger operation amount and when set to 100,
the servo returns to the neutral position.
-DLY(Delay): Sets the delay from brake operation to ABS operation. When set to 0, the ABS function is
activated without any delay. At 50%, the ABS function is activated after a delay of approximately 0.7 second
and at 100, the ABS function is activated after a delay of approximately 1.4 seconds.
-CYC(Pulse speed): Sets the pulse speed (cycle). The smaller the set value, the faster the pulse cycle.
- TGP(Trigger point): Sets the trigger point at which the ABS function begins to operate at brake operation.

2. Dual-engine Models: Being dual-engine category, tracked vehicle has two motors and each track is
driven by each motor.
3. Mix Control: The throttle (a function) on R/C monitors two motors ( two execute unites) move
forward/backward simultaneously. That is, ONE TO TWO mix control. On the other hand, the turning of
steering wheel makes one motor forward while the other backward at the same time to achieve direction
turning. Same as ONE TO TWO mix control.
4. Dual Mix Control: As controlling dual-engine vehicles drive forward/backward and turn left/right, two mix
controls at the same time are needed. RADIOLINK RC6GS has two programmable mix controls.

ID SEED function means designating a subsidiary ID among multiple binding receivers to realize the control.
There are totally 10 independent subsidiary IDs can be stored.
For example, RC6GS has completed the binding with 10 different boats and the setup of respective
parameters. Turn on the ID SEED function, select ID.1 boat and drive it to the central of water but it stops
working unexpectedly. Then we can change to the ID.2 boat (or any other subsidiary ID boat preferred) and
control it independently to rescue ID. 1 boat instead of controlling both boats at the same time, which makes
the rescue more difficult. Unlike traditional binding mode, independent ID can easily realize rescuing stalled
boat in the water caused by various reasons.
Press EXIT and ENTER simultaneously to enter MENU=>press Inc(+)/DEC (- ) to highlight “22. ID

RESET- Data reset function:
All the data for any model memory can be reset to original factory

(1) Enter the function menu and use “Dec(-)” or “Inc(+)” button to access
RESET function.
(2) Press “Enter” button to get into RESET function interface, the symbol
“YES” will blink.
Be sure to reset
Press “Enter” key, the symbol “YES” will stop blinking, and return to the initial screen. Now the model data is
reset to the initial setting that is the default value set at the factory.
Not to reset
Press “Dec(-)” or “Inc(+)” button, the symbol “YES” will stop blinking and the symbol “NO” will blink, press
“Enter” key, the symbol “NO” will stop blinking, return to the initial screen by pressing “Exit” button twice.
Or you can press “Exit” button twice to quit resetting directly.
CAUTION: Resetting the current model memory will permanently erase ALL programming information for that
model. The data cannot be recovered. Do not reset the model unless you are certain you want to clear-out
that memory and start from scratch.
