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 2.4GHz 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

• Do not kink the receiver antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire 

will reduce range.

• DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver antenna wire. Cutting the 

antenna will reduce range. 

• For maximum range, always point the front of the transmitter 

toward the model.

• You must extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible 

for maximum range. In doing so, the antenna wire will be 
extended outside of the vehicle body. Do not wrap or coil the 
antenna wire to keep it from extending out of the body.

• The antenna wire must be installed into the antenna tube to 

protect it from getting cut or damaged, which will reduce range. 
When installing the antenna wire into the antenna tube, be 
careful not to kink the wire by pressing it against the antenna 
tube cap. The antenna wire should extend to just below or to 
within one-half inch below the cap.

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.
