Failsafe
Your Traxxas radio system is
equipped with a built-in failsafe
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.

Model Lock
The Traxxas Link Model Memory feature can store up to thirty models
(receivers) in its memory. If you bind a thirty-first receiver, Traxxas Link
Model Memory will delete the “oldest” receiver from its memory (in
other words, the model you used the longest time ago will be deleted).
Activating Model Lock will lock the receiver in memory so it cannot be
deleted.
You may also bind multiple TQi transmitters to the same model, making
it possible to pick up any transmitter and any previously bound model
in your collection and simply turn them on and drive. With Traxxas
Link Model Memory, there is no need to remember which transmitter
goes with which model, and there is never a need to have to select any
model from a list of model memory entries. The transmitter and receiver
do it all for you automatically.
To activate Model Lock:
1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver you wish to lock.
2. Press and hold MENU. Release when the status LED blinks green.
3. Press MENU three times. The status LED will blink green four
times repeatedly.
4. Press SET. The status LED will blink green in single-flash intervals.
5. Press SET once. The status LED will blink red once repeatedly.
6. Press MENU once. The status LED will blink red twice repeatedly.
7. Press SET. The LED will blink rapidly green. The memory is now
locked. Press and hold MENU to return to driving mode.
Note
: To unlock a memory, press SET twice at step 5. The LED will
blink rapidly green to indicate the model is unlocked. To unlock all
models, press MENU twice at step 6 and then press SET.
To delete a model:
At some point, you may wish to delete a model you no-longer drive
from the memory.
1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver you wish to delete.
2. Press and hold MENU. Release when the status LED blinks green.
3. Press MENU three times. The status LED will blink green four
times repeatedly.
4. Press SET once. The status LED will blink green once repeatedly.
5. Press MENU once. The status LED will blink green twice repeatedly.
6. Press SET. The memory is now selected to be deleted. Press SET to
delete the model. Press and hold MENU to return to driving mode.
