Transmitter Adjustments for the EVX (TQ-3)
Before attempting to program your EVX, it is important to make
sure that your transmitter is properly adjusted (set back to the
factory defaults). Otherwise, you may not get the best
performance from your speed control.
The Traxxas TQ-3 transmitter should be adjusted as follows:
1.
Set the Throttle Neutral switch to the 50/50 setting. This
adjusts the transmitter’s throttle trigger throw to 1/2 throttle
and 1/2 brake/reverse.
2.
Set the Throttle Trim to the middle “0” setting. This adjusts the
neutral position of the throttle servo.
3.
Set the Channel 1 Servo Reversing Switch to the left position.
4.
Set the Channel 2 Servo Reversing Switch to the right position.
5.
Set the Channel 3 Servo Reversing Switch to the right position.
6.
Do not change the position of any of the servo reversing
switches after programming the EVX.
Speed Control Programming
To program the speed control, it should be connected to the
receiver, and the transmitter should be adjusted as described in
the previous section.
1.
Disconnect the motors from the speed control.
2.
Connect two fully charged battery packs to the speed control.
Connect one JST plug (RED & BLACK wires) to one battery
pack. Connect the other JST plug to the other battery pack.
3.
Turn on the transmitter.
4.
Turn on the speed control.
5.
With the transmitter throttle at neutral, press and hold the
ESC SET button until the status LED turns solid red, and then
release the button. You are now in programming mode.
6.
Pull the transmitter throttle trigger to the full throttle
position. Hold it there until the status LED turns solid green.
Note:
The motors will not run during programming even if
they are connected to the speed control.
7.
Push the transmitter throttle trigger to full reverse. Hold it
there until the status LED blinks green.
8.
Release the transmitter throttle trigger allowing it to return to
neutral. The status LED will turn solid red, indicating that the
throttle is at neutral and the programming has been
completed.
9.
Connect the motors to the speed control. Connect the red
speed control wires to motor’s red positive (+) leads. Connect
the black speed control wires to motor’s negative (-) leads.
Make sure the bullet connectors snap together securely. Refer
to the wiring diagram on page 25 for assistance.
The EVX speed control is now programmed & ready to go!
If the transmitter settings are changed, it will be necessary to
complete the programming sequence again.
If the SET button is released before the LED turns solid red in
step 5, the LED will blink 7 times and then return to the
normal operation mode.
If you experience any problems during programming, turn
off the speed control and repeat the programming steps.
Speed Control Throttle Profile Selection
The speed control is factory set to Profile #1
(forward/reverse/brake operation). To disable the reverse (Profile
#2), or reduce the reverse speed to 25% (Profile #3), follow these
steps. The speed control should be connected to the receiver
and the transmitter adjusted as described above.
1.
Connect two fully charged battery packs to the speed control.
Connect one JST plug (RED & BLACK wires) to one battery
pack. Connect the other JST plug to the other battery pack.

Adjusting Your E-Maxx
Using an Aftermarket
Transmitter with the EVX.
The following instructions are
provided as reference only for
those who are using an
aftermarket transmitter in place
of their factory TQ-3.
1. Set the High ATV or EPA to
the maximum setting. This is
the amount of servo throw at
full throttle.
2. Set the Low ATV, EPA, or ATL
to the maximum setting. This
is the amount of servo throw
at full brakes.
3. Set the Exponential to the
zero setting. This adjusts the
throttle channel linearity.
4. Set the Throttle Channel Trim
to the middle setting. This
adjusts the neutral position
and increases or decreases
the amount of coast braking.
5. Set the Throttle Channel
Reversing Switch to either
position. Do not change the
switch position after
programming.
6. Set the Electronic Trigger
Throw Adjustment to 50%
throttle and 50% brake throw
(or 5:5). This adjusts the
transmitter’s throttle trigger
throw on electronic/digital
transmitters.
7. Set the Mechanical Trigger
Throw Adjustment to a
position with 1/2 throttle and
1/2 brake throw. This adjusts
the transmitter’s throttle
trigger throw on mechanical/
analog transmitters.
