Transmitter

 - The hand-held radio unit that sends throttle and 

steering instructions to your model.

Trim

 - The fine-tuning adjustment of the neutral position of the 

servos, made by adjusting the steering trim knob on the face of 
the transmitter.

Thermal Shutdown Protection

 - Temperature sensing electronics 

used in the electronic speed control detect overloading and 
overheating of the transistor circuitry. If excessive temperature is 
detected, the unit automatically shuts down to prevent damage 
to the electronics.

2-channel radio system

 - The TQ 2.4GHz radio system, consisting 

of the receiver, the transmitter, and the servos. The system uses 
two channels: one to operate the throttle and one to operate  
the steering. 

Voltage

 - Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential  

difference between two points, such as between the positive 
battery terminal and ground. Using the analogy of the garden 
hose, while current is the quantity of water flow in the hose, 
voltage corresponds to the pressure that is forcing the water 
through the hose.

IMPORTANT RADIO SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

• For maximum range, always point the front of the transmitter 

toward the model.

• Do not kink the receiver’s antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire 

will reduce range.

• DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver’s antenna wire. Cutting the 

antenna will reduce range.

• You must extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible 

for maximum range. In doing so, the antenna wire will be extended 
outside of the vehicle body. Do not wrap or coil the antenna wire 
to keep it from extending out of the body.

• The antenna wire must be installed into the antenna tube to 

protect it from getting cut or damaged, which will reduce range. 
When installing the antenna wire into the antenna tube, be careful 
not to kink the wire by pressing it against the antenna tube cap. 
The antenna wire should extend to just below or to within one-half 
inch below the cap.

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.
