RADIO SYSTEM RULES

• Always turn your TQi transmitter on first and off last. This procedure 

will help to prevent your model from receiving stray signals from 
another transmitter, or other source, and running out of control. Your 
model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this type of malfunction, 
but the first, best defense against a runaway model is to always turn 
the transmitter on first, and off last.

• Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the radio system. 

Weak batteries will limit the radio signal between the receiver 
and the transmitter.

 Loss of the radio signal can cause you to lose 

control of your model.

• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another, 

the receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds 
of turning on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast 
red indicating a failure to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the 
transmitter and start over.

• Always turn on the transmitter before plugging in the battery.

RADIO SYSTEM BASIC ADJUSTMENTS

Throttle Neutral Adjustment 

The throttle neutral adjustment is located 
on the transmitter face and controls the 
forward/reverse travel of the throttle trigger. 
Change the adjustment by pressing the 
button and sliding it to the desired position. 
There are two settings available:

50/50

: Allows equal travel for both acceleration and reverse.

70/30

: Allows more throttle travel (70%) and less reverse travel (30%).

Note: We strongly recommend to leave this control in its factory 
location until you become familiar with all the adjustments and 
capabilities of your model. 

To change the throttle neutral adjust 

position, turn the transmitter off before adjusting the neutral 
position. 

You will need to reprogram your electronic speed control 

to recognize the 70/30 setting.

 Turn to EVX-2 Setup Programming on 

page 17 for instructions.

Steering Trim 

The electronic steering trim located on the 
face of the transmitter adjusts the neutral 
(center) point of the steering channel. 

Multi-Function Knob

The Multi-Function knob can be 
programmed to control a variety of functions. 
From the factory, the Multi-Function knob 
controls steering sensitivity, also known as exponential or “expo.” 
When the knob is turned counterclockwise all the way to the left 
(default position), expo is off and steering sensitivity will be linear 
(the most commonly used setting). Turning the knob clockwise will 
“add expo” and decrease the steering sensitivity in the initial range 
of steering wheel travel left or right from center. For more detail on 
steering exponential, refer to page 16.

RADIO SYSTEM CONTROLS

Remember, always turn the 
TQi transmitter on first and 
off last to avoid damage to 
your model.
