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 over tighten 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. The minimum
height is 62mm.
