their model at distances farther than a football field (300+ feet). At 
greater distances, you could lose sight of your model and you may 
also exceed the radio system’s operating range, which will cause 
the fail-safe system to activate. For best visibility and control of your 
model keep your model within 200 feet, regardless of the maximum 
range available.

No matter how fast or far you drive your model, always leave 
adequate space between you, the model, and others. Never drive 
directly toward yourself or others. 

TQ 2.4GHz Binding Instructions

For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be electronically 
‘bound.’

 This has been done for you at the factory. 

Should you ever 

need to re-bind the system or bind to an additional transmitter or 
receiver, follow these instructions. 

Note

: the receiver must be connected 

to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power source for binding and the transmitter and 
receiver must be within 5 feet of each other.
1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter.
2. Turn on the transmitter and release the SET button. The status LED will 

flash red slowly, indicating that the transmitter is in bind mode. 

3. Press and hold the LINK button on the receiver.
4. Turn on the speed control by pressing the EZ-Set button and release 

the LINK button.

5. When the LEDs on both the transmitter and the receiver turn solid 

green, the system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the 
steering and throttle operate properly before driving your model..

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA

The receiver antenna and antenna tube 
must be properly installed before operating 
your model. Follow these steps to install the 
antenna and antenna tube:
1. Slide the antenna wire into the antenna 

tube to its full extent. When fully inserted, 
the wire should reach to approximately 1/2 
inch below the tube cap. Do not leave any 
slack in the antenna wire.

2. Insert the base of the antenna tube into the 

antenna post. Take care not to crimp the 
antenna wire.

3. Slide the crimp nut over the antenna tube 

and screw it onto the antenna post. 

4. 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! Do not shorten the antenna tube. 
See the sidebar for more information.

Fail-Safe / Low-
Voltage Detect

Consistent low voltage in the

that there is enough power to 
center the throttle servo before it 
completely loses power.

Fail-Safe

Your Traxxas radio system 
is equipped with a built-
in fail-safe function that 
returns the throttle to its 
last saved neutral position 
in the event of a signal loss. 
The LED on the transmitter 
and the receiver will rapidly 
flash red when the fail-
safe mode is activated. If 
fail-safe activates while you 
are operating your model, 
determine the reason for 
signal loss and resolve the 
problem before operating 
your model again.
