TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT (TSM)

Traxxas Stability Management or 
TSM allows you to experience all 
the speed and acceleration that 
was engineered into your Traxxas 
model by helping you to maintain 
control of the vehicle in low-

traction situations. TSM helps provide straight ahead full-throttle 
acceleration on slippery surfaces, without fishtailing, spinouts, or 
loss of control. TSM also dramatically improves braking control. High 
speed cornering and control is also made possible as TSM makes 
corrections for you, without intruding on your fun, or creating 
unexpected side effects.

The Multi-Function knob on 
the TQi transmitter has been 
programmed to control TSM. 
The recommended (default) 
setting for TSM is to rotate the 
knob to the 12:00 position (the 
zero mark on the dial). 

Turn the knob clockwise to 
increase assistance; turn the knob 
counterclockwise to decrease 
assistance. Turn the  
knob counterclockwise to its  
stop to turn TSM completely off.  

Note: 

TSM is deactivated 

automatically when driving or 
braking in reverse. 
When driving on surfaces with some traction, decrease the TSM 
setting to allow the vehicle to feel more “loose” for power sliding, 
drifting, and so on. On surfaces with very little traction (loose dirt, 
smooth concrete, ice/snow), increase TSM to maximize acceleration 
and control. 
Drive with TSM on and off to test how it is making your control of 
the vehicle easier and more precise. For more information, visit 
Traxxas.com/tsm.

Note: 

TSM must be completely turned off while adjusting steering 

trim.

SETTING UP THE 

ANTENNA

The receiver antenna has been set up 
and installed from the factory. The 
antenna is secured by a 3x4mm set 
screw. To remove the antenna tube, 
simply remove the set screw with the 
included 1.5mm wrench. 

When reinstalling the antenna, first 
slide the antenna wire into the bottom 
of the antenna tube until the white 
tip of the antenna is at the top of 
the tube under the black cap. Next, 
insert the antenna tube into the mount while making sure that the 
antenna wire is in the slot in the antenna mount; then, install the set 
screw next to the antenna tube. Use the supplied 1.5mm wrench 
to tighten the screw just until the antenna tube is securely in place. 
Do not overtighten. 

Do not bend or kink the antenna wire! See the 

sidebar for more information. Do not shorten the antenna tube.

To prevent loss of radio 
range, do not kink or cut the 
black wire, do not bend or 
cut the metal tip, and do not 
bend or cut the white wire at 
the end of the metal tip.
