Spring Clip Installation
1. Insert the two tabs on
the spring clip into the
rectangular tab slots in
the chassis.
2. Rotate the spring clip
upward.
3. Snap the tabs into place.
Many LiPo batteries do not use a hard plastic case. If using LiPo
batteries that do not have a hard case, always be sure to use the foam
rubber cushion in the front of the battery compartment. Do not use
the battery retainer tabs in the front of the battery compartments
when using LiPo batteries that are not in a hard plastic case. A hard
front impact or crash when driving can damage the LiPo batteries.
RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your TQi transmitter on first and off last. This procedure
will help to prevent your model from receiving stray signals from
another transmitter, or other source, and running out of control. Your
model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this type of malfunction, but
the first, best defense against a runaway model is to always turn the
transmitter on first and off last.
• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another,
the receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds
of turning on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast
red, indicating a failure to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the
transmitter and start over.
• Always turn on the transmitter before plugging in the battery.
• Always use new batteries for the radio system. Weak batteries will
limit the radio signal between the receiver and the transmitter. Loss
of the radio signal can cause you to lose control of your model.
RADIO SYSTEM BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Trim
The electronic steering trim located on the
face of the transmitter adjusts the neutral
(center) point of the steering channel.
Note: Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) must be completely
turned off while adjusting steering trim. See page 16 for TSM
adjustments.
Multi-Function Knob
The Multi-Function knob can be programmed
to control a variety of functions. From the
factory, the Multi-Function knob controls
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM).
For more detail on TSM, refer to page 16.
