Thermal Shutdown Protection
- Temperature sensing electronics
are used in the ESC to detect overloading and overheating of the
transistor circuitry. If excessive temperature is detected, the unit
automatically shuts down to prevent damage to the electronics.
2-channel radio system
- The TQ radio system, consisting of
the receiver, the transmitter, and the servos. The system uses
two channels: one to operate the throttle and one to operate
the steering.
2.4GHz Spread Spectrum
– This model is equipped with the latest
R/C technology. Unlike AM and FM systems that require frequency
crystals and are prone to frequency conflicts, the TQ 2.4GHz system
automatically selects and locks onto an open frequency, and offers
superior resistance to interference and “glitching.”
Voltage
- Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential difference
between two points, such as between the positive battery terminal
and ground. Using the analogy of the garden hose, while current is
the quantity of water flow in the hose, voltage corresponds to the
pressure that is forcing the water through the hose.
550 and 540
- These numbers refer to the size of the motor. 550
motors have armatures that are 30% longer than 540 motors.
IMPORTANT RADIO SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
For maximum range, always hold the
transmitter so the antenna is in a vertical
position (pointing straight up). The transmitter’s
antenna can be swiveled and angled to allow
for a vertical position if necessary.
Do not kink the receiver’s antenna wire. Kinks in
the antenna wire will reduce range.
DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver’s antenna wire. Cutting
the antenna will reduce range.
Extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible for
maximum range. It is not necessary to extend the antenna
wire out of the body, but wrapping or coiling the antenna wire
should be avoided.
Do not allow the antenna wire to extend outside the body
without the protection of an antenna tube, or the antenna
wire may get cut or damaged, reducing range. Always keep
the wire protected (in the antenna tube) to prevent the chance
of damage.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
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.
