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 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.
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.com/tsm.
Note:
TSM must be completely turned off while adjusting steering
trim.

RADIO & VELINEON POWER SYSTEM
Fail-Safe
Your Traxxas radio system
is equipped with a built-
in fail-safe 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 when the fail-safe
mode is activated. If Fail-
Safe activates while you
are operating your model,
determine the reason for
signal loss and resolve the
problem before operating
your model again.
