TQ 2.4GHz 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
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.
Steering Sensitivity (Exponential)
The Multi-Function knob on the TQ 2.4GHz 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
the left 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 to the right 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 car’s handling is the “right setting.”
