a/b position switch.

from the "oooww, what does this botton do?"-dept.

what does the a/b-position switch on the back of the KT-5 transmitter do?
it seems it moves the throttletrigger a bit to the front for more accurate throttle.
is there anything more to it?

i couldn't find it in the manual.

Hi!

As far as I can work out, you've got it right. You can alter the throttle to give more 'travel' for forwards and less backwards, or more for backwards and less for forwards (why!)

Though if you reduce the rearward travel of the throttle it helps with 'braking' - You can give it just a little 'tap' on the trigger with out going into full reverse.

I opened the TX today.
all the button does is tilting the mechanism the returns the trigger to it's neutral position.

that explains why throttle trim is of after switching.

The A/B switch on the KT-5 controller is realy sweet! It limits reverse to the point of giving the Mini Z Racers a usable break. It limits reverse to a crawl but while running in forward hiting full reverse now just slows the car down like real breaks.

If you have ever driven a standard Mini Z Racer with the original Perfects controler you would know why I think the KT-5 is sweet. The only down side is the KT-5 dose not have a recharging jack.

IMHO its worth the trade-off.
