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 another
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 on
the speed control (by pressing the EZ-Set button). Release the
LINK 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.
TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT (TSM)
Traxxas Stability Management or 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) setting 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.
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 the bottom of the
antenna tube until the white tip of the
antenna is at the top of the 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 sidebar
for more information. Do not shorten the
antenna tube. The minimum height is
62mm.
