📡 Model Memory
A saved settings slot in a transmitter for one specific vehicle — rates, trims, mixes, everything — so one radio can run a whole garage of rigs.
What it actually does
Model memory lets one transmitter store separate settings for every vehicle you own — its own trims, end points, expo, rates and mixes. It is why serious hobbyists own one good transmitter rather than a cheap one per model.
In practice
Selecting the wrong model before driving means the wrong settings: wrong steering throws, wrong throttle end points, possibly wrong failsafe. Naming each memory clearly, and keeping a consistent naming convention across a garage of models, is the habit that prevents it.
Worth knowing
Many systems offer model match, which ties a receiver to a specific model memory so the model simply will not run under the wrong one. Turn it on — it removes the mistake entirely rather than relying on you noticing.

Straight with you: the site is new and the crew is small. The tools, the guides, the map and the 505 run spots are all here and working today — the people are what is still missing. If you want a garage that remembers everything, it works from your first run. If you want a busy forum, come back later, or be one of the reasons it gets busy.
