Fail-Safe / Low-Voltage Detect
Consistent Low-Voltage in the receiver triggers Fail-Safe so there is enough power to
center the throttle servo before it completely loses power.

throttle/brake travel (on the throttle channel). This allows you to fine-
tune the servo settings to prevent binding caused by the servo moving
steering or throttle linkages (in the case of a nitro car) farther than their
mechanical limits. The end point adjustment settings you select will
represent what you wish to be the servo’s maximum travel; the Steering
Percentage or Braking Percentage functions will not override the End
Point settings.
Steering and Throttle Sub-Trim
The Sub-Trim function is used to precisely set the neutral point of the
steering or throttle servo in the event that simply setting the trim knob
to “zero” does not completely center the servo. When selected, Sub-Trim
allows finer adjustment to the servo output shaft’s position for precise
setting of the neutral point. Always set the Steering Trim knob to zero
before making final adjustment (if required) using Sub-Trim. If Throttle
Trim has been previously adjusted, the Throttle Trim will need to be
reprogrammed to “zero” before making final adjustment using Sub-Trim.
Setting Lock
Once you’ve adjusted all of these settings the way you like them, you
may want to disable the Multi-Function knob so none of your settings
can be changed. This is especially handy if you operate multiple vehicles
with a single transmitter via Traxxas Link
™
Model Memory.
Multiple Settings and the Multi-Function Knob
It is important to note that settings made with the Multi-Function knob
are “overlaid” on top of each other. For example, if you assign the Multi-
Function to adjust Steering Percentage and set it for 50%, then reassign
the knob to control Steering Sensitivity, the transmitter will “remember”
the Steering Percentage setting. Adjustments you make to Steering
Sensitivity will be applied to the 50% steering throw setting you selected
previously. Likewise, setting the Multi-Function knob to “disabled” will
prevent the knob from making further adjustments, but the last setting
of the Multi-Function knob will still apply.
Throttle Trim Seek Mode
When the Multi-Function knob is
set to throttle trim, the transmitter
remembers the throttle trim
setting. If the throttle trim knob is
moved from the original setting
while the transmitter is off, or while
the transmitter was used to control
another model, the transmitter
ignores the actual position of
the trim knob. This prevents the
model from accidentally running
away. The LED on the face of the
transmitter will rapidly blink green
and the throttle trim knob (Multi-
Function knob) will not adjust the
trim until it is moved back to its
original position saved in memory.
To restore throttle trim control,
simply turn the Multi-Function
knob either direction until the LED
stops blinking.
Failsafe
Your Traxxas radio system is
equipped with a built-in failsafe
function that returns the throttle
to its last saved neutral position in
the event of a signal loss. The LED
on the transmitter and the receiver
will rapidly flash red.
