USInG ThE TQ RADIo SYSTEM
The TQ Radio System was pre-adjusted at the factory. The adjustment
should be checked before running the model, in case of movement
during shipping. Here’s how:
1.
Fully extend the chrome antenna mast on the transmitter and
turn the switch on. The red indicator light on the transmitter
should be solid red (not flashing).
2.
Turn on the receiver switch in the model. The switch is located in
the top of the radio compartment.
3.
Position Slayer so that its front wheels are off the ground.
4.
Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter back and forth and
check for rapid operation of the steering servo. Also, check that
the steering mechanism is not loose or binding. If the steering
operates slowly, then check the receiver pack to make sure it is
fully charged.
5.
When looking down at model, the front wheels should be
pointing straight ahead. If the wheels are turned slightly to the left
or right, slowly adjust the steering trim control on the transmitter
until they are pointing straight ahead.
6.
Operate the throttle trigger on the transmitter and check for rapid
operation of the throttle servo. When the throttle trigger is pulled
back, the carburetor should open (slide moves out). When the
throttle trigger is pushed all the way forward, the brake should lock.
7.
Once adjustments are made, turn off the receiver on your Slayer,
followed by the hand-held transmitter.

Before each running session with your Slayer, you should range-test
your radio system to ensure that it operates properly.

the previous section (Using the TQ Radio System).
2.
Have a friend hold the model with the engine off.
3.
Make sure your transmitter antenna is fully extended, and then
walk away from the model with the transmitter until you reach the
farthest distance you plan to operate the model.
4.
Operate the controls on the transmitter once again to be sure that
the model responds correctly.
5.
Do not attempt to operate the model if there is any problem with
the radio system or any external interference with your radio
signal at your location.
