2.   Press and hold the receiver’s LINK button as you switch on the 

speed control by pressing the EZ-Set button. 

3.   When the transmitter and receiver’s LEDs turn solid green, the 

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

Steering Sensitivity (Exponential)

The Multi-Function knob on the TQi transmitter has been 
programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (also known as 
exponential). The standard setting for Steering Sensitivity is 
“normal (zero exponential),” with the dial full left in its range of 
travel. This setting provides linear servo response: the steering 
servo’s movement will correspond exactly with the input from 
the transmitter’s steering wheel. Turning the knob clockwise from 
center will result in “negative exponential” and decrease steering 
sensitivity by making the servo less responsive near neutral, with 
increasing sensitivity as the servo nears the limits of its travel range. 
The farther you turn the knob, the more pronounced the change 
in steering servo movement will be. The term “exponential” comes 
from this effect; the servo’s travel changes exponentially relative 
to the input from the steering wheel. The exponential effect is 
indicated as a percentage—the greater the percentage, the greater 
the effect. The illustrations below show how this works. 

Normal Steering Sensitivity (0% exponential)

In this illustration, the steering servo’s travel (and with it, the steering 
motion of the model’s front wheels) corresponds precisely with the 
steering wheel. The ranges are exaggerated for illustrative purposes.

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.

Experiment! Try varying degrees of exponential. It’s easy to go back 
to “zero” if you don’t like the effect. There’s no wrong way to adjust 
exponential. Any setting that makes you more comfortable with 
your model’s handling is the “right setting.” 

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA

The receiver antenna has been set up and 
installed from the factory. 

When reinstalling the antenna, first slide 
the antenna wire into bottom of antenna 
tube until white tip of antenna is at top 
of tube under the black cap. Insert the 
base of the tube into the antenna post. 
Take care not to crimp the antenna wire. 
Slide the crimp nut over the antenna 
tube and screw it onto the antenna 
post. Use the supplied tool to tighten 
the crimp nut on the post just until the 
antenna tube is securely in place. Do not 
over tighten or crush the antenna wire 
against the chassis. 

Do not bend or kink 

the antenna wire! See the side bar for more 
information. Do not shorten the antenna 
tube. The minimum height is 62mm.

To prevent loss of radio 
range do not kink or cut the 
black wire, do not bend or 
cut the metal tip, and do not 
bend or cut the white wire at 
the end of the metal tip.
