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.

Note:
TSM must be completely turned off while adjusting steering
trim.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up and
installed from the factory.
When reinstalling the antenna, first slide
the antenna wire into the bottom of the
antenna tube until the white tip of the
antenna is at the top of the tube under the
black cap. Insert the base of the tube into
the antenna post. Take care not to crimp the
antenna wire. Slide the crimp nut over the
antenna tube and screw it onto the antenna
post. Use the supplied tool to tighten the
crimp nut on the post just until the antenna
tube is securely in place. Do not overtighten
or crush the antenna wire against the
chassis.
Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! See the sidebar for more information.
Do not shorten the antenna tube.
SELF RIGHTING
Your model is equipped with Traxxas Self
Righting that will allow you to automatically
return it to an upright position after a
rollover.
Make sure there is adequate space
around your E-Revo and no people or
animals are nearby before self righting.
The model moves quickly and the tires
are spinning at high speed. If a person or
animal approaches the model during self
righting, cancel immediately by moving
the steering wheel or the throttle trigger.
Press and hold the SET
button on the transmitter for four (4) seconds to activate the self-
righting feature. Once activated, the SET button can be released.
Note:
Certain driving surfaces or conditions may prevent the
model from uprighting itself. After several attempts, self righting will
cancel. Press the SET button to try again, or go and retrieve your model.
To prevent loss of radio range
do not kink or cut the black wire,
do not bend or cut the metal tip,
and do not bend or cut the white
wire at the end of the metal tip.
