6 • TRAXXAS
Operating the T-Lock Differentials
The switch on top of the transmitter operates the front and rear
differentials. Come to a complete stop before operating the switch.
Apply throttle slowly after moving the switch until the differentials fully
engage or disengage.
Transmitter Adjustments
Throttle Neutral Position
The trigger is set to 50/50 for equal movement in the throttle
direction and reverse/brake direction. Changing the setting to 70/30
will increase the range of forward trigger travel and decrease brake
trigger travel.
Note:
You will need to reprogram your electronic speed
control to recognize the 70/30 setting.
Steering Trim
Turn the trim knob to precisely set the
steering neutral point.
Multi-Function Knob
Turn this knob to adjust steering sensitivity.
Turn the knob clockwise to make steering
less sensitive. The TQi transmitter has
additional tuning features that can be accessed by the MENU and SET
buttons. For details, download the complete manual by following the link
on the cover of this manual, or by scanning the QR code.
Electronic Speed Control Adjustments
ATTENTION: IF USING LiPo BATTERY
To prevent over-discharging of LiPo batteries, Low Voltage
Detection must be switched on. To check the status of your model,
turn it on. If the speed control’s LED is green, Low Voltage Detection
is already activated. If the LED is red, Low Voltage Detection is not
active. Follow these steps to turn on Low Voltage Detection:
1. Turn the model on. Make sure the LED on the
speed control is on and red.
2. Press and hold the EZ-Set button for ten
seconds. The LED will turn off and then light
green, and the motor will beep twice. Release
the button.
3. Low-Voltage Detection is now ACTIVATED.
LiPo batteries are intended only for the most
advanced users that are educated on the risks associated
with LiPo battery use.
Never use LiPo batteries while Low-Voltage
Detection is disabled.
To disable Low Voltage Detection when using NiMH batteries, repeat the
steps above. The motor will beep three times and the LED will glow red.
Selecting a Throttle Mode: SPORT, RACE, or TRAINING
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the model and turn on your
transmitter.
2. With the model off, press and hold the EZ-Set button until the LED
turns solid green, then solid red and then begins blinking red. It
will blink once, then twice, then three times, then repeat.
One blink = Sport Mode
is the default setting. It allows full forward
and reverse throttle.
Two blinks = Race Mode
removes reverse throttle in case your
track does not allow it.
Three blinks = Training Mode
will slow the model down by 50%
for young or inexperienced drivers.
3. Release the EZ-Set button after the number of blinks for the mode
you wish to select.
Note
: If you missed the mode you wanted, keep
the EZ-Set button pressed down and the blink cycle will repeat.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green (Low-Voltage
Detection ACTIVE) or red (Low-Voltage Detection DISABLED). The
model is now ready to drive.
Calibrating the Speed Control
The speed control is calibrated at the factory.
Follow these steps if you need to re-calibrate it.
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the model.
2. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
3. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (A).
The LED will first turn green and then
red. Release the EZ-Set button.
4. When the LED blinks RED ONCE, pull
the throttle trigger to the full throttle
position and hold it there (B).
5. When the LED blinks RED TWICE, push
the throttle trigger to the full reverse and
hold it there (C).
6. When the LED blinks GREEN ONCE, programming is complete.
The LED will then shine green or red (depending on Low Voltage
Detection setting).
Running in Wet Conditions
Your Traxxas model is designed with water-resistant features to
protect the electronics in the model (receiver, servos, electronic
speed control). Though highly water resistant, the model should not
be treated as though it is submersible or totally, 100% waterproof.
Water resistance applies only to the installed electronic components.
Running in wet conditions requires additional care and maintenance
to prevent corrosion and maintain proper function. Download the
complete manual for full precautions and maintenance requirements.
Read and understand all precautions before operating your model in
wet conditions. The complete manual for your model can be viewed
and downloaded by following the link on the cover of this manual, or
by scanning the QR code.
After You Run Your Model
Turn the model off
Press and release the EZ-Set button on the speed control.
The speed control’s LED will go out.
Unplug the battery and remove it from the model
Do not store the model with the battery installed.
Turn the transmitter off
Always turn the transmitter off last, after the model has been turned off.
SUMMIT QUICK START GUIDE
Always turn your
transmitter off last.
Turn off the model.

Switch rearward
= both differentials unlocked.
Best handling and steering performance.
Switch centered
= front differential locked. Enhanced
climbing ability and traction. Reduced steering performance.
Switch forward
= both differentials locked. Maximum climbing
ability and traction. Reduced steering performance. Locked
differentials should only be used for difficult obstacles that require
minimum speed and maximum traction. High-speed driving with
locked differentials is not recommended.
