RADIO SYSTEM
TQi 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 transmitter’s SET button as you switch the
transmitter on. The transmitter’s LED will flash red slowly. Release the
SET button.
2. Press and hold the receiver’s LINK button as you switch the model
on. Release the LINK button.
3. When the transmitter’s 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.
TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT (TSM)
Your radio system is equipped with
a new feature, Traxxas Stability
Management or TSM.
TSM allows
you to experience all the speed and
acceleration that was engineered
into your Traxxas model by helping you to maintain control of the
vehicle in low-traction situations. TSM helps provide straight ahead
full-throttle acceleration on slippery surfaces, without fishtailing,
spinouts, or loss of control. TSM also dramatically improves braking
control. High speed cornering and control is also made possible as TSM
makes corrections for you, without intruding on your fun, or creating
unexpected side effects.
The Multi-Function knob on the TQi
transmitter has been programmed
to control TSM. The recommended
(default) settin g for TSM is to rotate
the knob to the 12:00 position (the
zero mark on the dial).
Turn the knob clockwise to
increase assistance; turn the knob
counterclockwise to decrease
assistance. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to its stop to
turn TSM completely off.
Note:
TSM is deactivated
automatically when driving or
braking in reverse.
When driving on surfaces with some
traction, decrease the TSM setting
to allow the vehicle to feel more
“loose” for power sliding, drifting, and so on. On surfaces with very
little traction (loose dirt, smooth concrete, ice/snow), increase TSM to
maximize acceleration and control.
Drive with TSM on and off to test how it is making your control of the
vehicle easier and more precise. For more information, visit Traxxas.

Note: TSM must be completely turned off while adjusting steering
trim.
