hello???.....nobody knows anything about this controller?

The trim means throttle trim. Theres should also be steering trim. This allows you to adjust the servos. Also, its probably a futaba 3pdf or something and it probably has dul rate and and endpoint adjustment.

i really dont know what any of that means....i havent been in rc since the grasshopper came out and i bought this thing used off of ebay and cant figure out the controller

you can easily figure it out by looking at your servos or wheels while moving the knob.
one button will do the center alligment.
2 will extend or shorten the lenght of the servo movement.

you can just turn the wheel to the end, hold it and move those button, if it move the wheel that would be the EPA (End Point Adjustment).

have fun !

This sounds like the old Magnum Jr. radio. The 2 switches at the top are servo reverse switches. This is for making your servo respond the opposite of what it currently does. So if you turn right and the car turns left you just flip that switch. The 4 knobs are the steering trim, throttle trim, and the 2 ATV or EPA knobs. The trims are a fine zero in adjustment. So if your car pulls a little to one side you can use the trim to straighten it out. The ATV or EPA knobs are travel limiters so the servo doesn't try and turn more then it physically can in the car. Letting it over turn can lead to a worn out servo really fast. Now below the steering wheel on the grip you should see a dial. That's the dual rate adjustment for the steering. That is also a type of travel limiter you can set while your driving incase the car is over steering or under steering.

InspGadgt......thank you....thats exactally what i needed to know....im guessing the only way you adjust all these things is while the car is running right?....thanks again for the info
