STAMPEDE 4x4 VXL 

  29

Your Traxxas transmitter has a programmable Multi-Function knob 
that can be set to control various advanced transmitter functions (set to 
Steering Sensitivity by default, see page 16). Accessing the programming 
menu is done by using the menu and set buttons on the transmitter and 
observing signals from the LED. An explanation of the menu structure 
follows on page 31. Experiment with the settings and features to see if 
they can improve your driving experience.  

Throttle Sensitivity (Throttle Exponential)

The Multi-Function knob can be set to control Throttle Sensitivity. 
Throttle Sensitivity works the same way as Steering Sensitivity, as 
described on page 16, but applies the effect to the throttle channel. 
Only forward throttle is affected; brake/reverse travel remains linear 
regardless of the Throttle Sensitivity setting. 

Steering Percentage (Dual-Rate)

The Multi-Function knob can be set to control the amount (percentage) 
of servo travel applied to steering. Turning the Multi-Function knob 
fully clockwise will deliver maximum steering throw; turning the 
knob counterclockwise reduces steering throw (note: turning the dial 
counterclockwise to its stop will eliminate all servo travel). Be aware 
that the steering End Point settings deine the servo’s maximum 
steering throw. If you set Steering Percentage to 100% (by turning the 
Multi-Function knob fully clockwise), the servo will travel all the way to 
its selected end point, but not past it. Many racers set Dual-Rate so they 
have only as much steering throw as they need for the track’s tightest 
turn, thus making the model easier to drive throughout the rest of the 
course. Reducing steering throw can also be useful in making a model 
easier to control on high-traction surfaces, and limiting steering output 
for oval racing where large amounts of steering travel are not required. 

Braking Percentage

The Multi-Function knob may also be set to control the amount of brake 
travel applied by the servo in a nitro-powered model. Electric models do 
not have a servo-operated brake, but the Braking Percentage function 
still operates the same way in electric models. Turning the Multi-Function 
knob full clockwise will deliver maximum brake throw; turning the 
knob counterclockwise reduces brake throw (

Note

: Turning the dial 

counterclockwise to its stop will eliminate all brake action).

Throttle Trim

Setting the Multi-Function knob to serve as throttle trim will allow you 
to adjust the throttle’s neutral position to prevent unwanted brake drag 
or throttle application when the transmitter trigger is at neutral. 

Note

Your transmitter is equipped with a Throttle Trim Seek mode to prevent 
accidental runaways. See the sidebar for more information.

Steering and Throttle End Points

The TQi transmitter allows you to choose the limit of the servo’s travel 
range (or its “end point”) independently for left and right travel (on the 
steering channel) and throttle/brake travel (on the throttle channel). 
This allows you to ine-tune the servo settings to prevent binding 
caused by the servo moving steering or throttle linkages (in the case 
of a nitro model) 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 iner 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 inal 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 inal 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.

TRAXXAS LINK MODEL MEMORY

Traxxas Link Model Memory is an exclusive, patent-pending feature 
of the TQi transmitter. Each time the transmitter is bound to a new 
receiver, it saves that receiver in its memory, along with all the settings 
assigned to that receiver. When the transmitter and any bound receiver 
are switched on, the transmitter automatically recalls the settings for 
that receiver. There is no need to manually select your vehicle from a list 
of model memory entries.

Restoring Factory Defaults

When programming your 
TQi transmitter, you may feel 
the need to start over with 
a clean slate. Follow these 
simple steps to restore the 
factory settings:

1. Turn the transmitter off.
2. Hold both MENU and SET.
3. Turn the transmitter on.
4. Release MENU and SET. 

The transmitter LED will 
blink red.

5. Press SET to clear settings. 

The LED will turn solid 
green and the transmitter 
is restored to default.

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.
