Decreased Steering Sensitivity 
(Negative Exponential):

By turning the Multi-Function 
knob clockwise, the steering 
sensitivity of the model will be 
decreased. Note that a relatively 
large amount of steering wheel 
travel results in a smaller 
amount of servo travel. The 
farther you turn the knob, the 
more pronounced the effect 
becomes. Decreased steering 
sensitivity may be helpful 
when driving on low-traction surfaces, when driving at high speed, or on tracks 
that favor sweeping turns where gentle steering inputs are required. The ranges are 
exaggerated for illustrative purposes.

Throttle Sensitivity (Throttle Exponential)

The Multi-Function knob can be set to control Throttle Sensitivity. 
Throttle Sensitivity works the same way as Steering Sensitivity, but 
applies the effect to the throttle channel. Only forward throttle 
is affected; brake/reverse travel remains linear regardless of the 
Throttle Sensitivity setting. 

Steering Percentage (Dual Rate)

The Multi-Function knob can be set to control the amount 
(percentage) of servo travel applied to steering. Turning the Multi-
Function knob fully clockwise will deliver maximum steering throw; 
turning the knob counterclockwise reduces steering throw (note: 
turning the dial counterclockwise to its stop will eliminate all servo 
travel). Be aware that the steering End Point settings define the 
servo’s maximum steering throw. If you set Steering Percentage to 
100% (by turning the Multi-Function knob fully clockwise), the servo 
will travel all the way to its selected end point, but not past it. Many 
racers set Dual Rate so they have only as much steering throw as 
they need for the track’s tightest turn, thus making the car easier to 
drive throughout the rest of the course. Reducing steering throw 
can also be useful in making a car easier to control on high-traction 
surfaces, and limiting steering output for oval racing where large 
amounts of steering travel are not required. 

Steering and Throttle End Points

The TQi transmitter allows you to choose the limit of the servo’s 
travel range (or its “end point”) independently for left and right 
travel (on the steering channel) and throttle/brake travel (on the 
throttle channel). This allows you to fine-tune the servo settings to 
prevent binding caused by the servo moving steering or throttle 
linkages (in the case of a nitro car) farther than their mechanical 
limits. The end point adjustment settings you select will represent 
what you wish to be the servo’s maximum travel; the Steering 
Percentage or Braking Percentage functions will not override the 
End Point settings. 

Steering and Throttle Sub-Trim

The Sub-Trim function is used to precisely set the neutral point of 
the steering or throttle servo in the event that simply setting the 
trim knob to “zero” does not completely center the servo. When 
selected, Sub-Trim allows finer adjustment to the servo output 
shaft’s position for precise setting of the neutral point. Always set 
the Steering Trim knob to zero before making final adjustment 
(if required) using Sub-Trim. If Throttle Trim has been previously 
adjusted, the Throttle Trim will need to be reprogrammed to “zero” 
before making final adjustment using Sub-Trim.

Braking Percentage

The Multi-Function knob may also be set to control the amount 
of brake travel applied by the servo in a nitro-powered model. 
Electric models do not have a servo-operated brake, but the 
Braking Percentage function still operates the same way in electric 
models. Turning the Multi-Function knob full clockwise will deliver 
maximum brake throw; turning the knob counterclockwise reduces 
brake throw (

Note

: Turning the dial counterclockwise to its stop will 

eliminate all brake action).

Throttle Trim

Setting the Multi-Function knob to serve as throttle trim will allow 
you to adjust the throttle’s neutral position to prevent unwanted 
brake drag or throttle application when the transmitter trigger is 
at neutral. 

Note

: Your transmitter is equipped with a Throttle Trim 

Seek mode to prevent accidental runaways. See the sidebar on 
page 32 for more information.
