2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your 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.
• 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.
• 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.
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 17 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 17.

Remember, always turn the
TQi transmitter on first and
off last to avoid damage to
your model.
Automatic Fail-Safe
The TQi transmitter and
receiver are equipped
with an automatic fail-
safe system that does not
require user programming.
In the event of signal loss
or interference, the throttle
will return to neutral and
the steering will hold its last
commanded position. If the
Fail-Safe activates while you
are operating your model,
determine the reason for
signal loss and resolve the
problem before operating
your model again.
Stop immediately at the first
sign of weak batteries. Never
turn the transmitter off when
the battery pack is plugged
in. The model could run out
of control.
Always turn your
transmitter on first.
Turn on the model.
