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. 
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. Insert the base of the tube into 
the antenna post. Take care not to crimp the 
antenna wire. Slide the crimp nut over the 
antenna tube and screw it onto the antenna 
post. Use the supplied tool to tighten the 
crimp nut on the post just until the antenna 
tube is securely in place. Do not overtighten 
or crush the antenna wire against the 
chassis. 

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.
