TQ-3 Radio System Rules
Each time you prepare to run your Revo,
you must clear your frequency to be sure
no one else in the area is using the same
channel as you.
There are six possible channels, numbered
1 through 6. Each is represented by a color.
Look at the crystal plugged into the back of
your transmitter to determine which
channel your truck is assigned to.
Always turn your TQ-3 transmitter on first
and off last. This procedure will help to prevent your Revo from
receiving stray signals from another transmitter, or other source,
and running out of control.
Always have the transmitter and receiver turned on before you start
the engine. Never turn the radio system off while the engine is
running. The on/off switch in the model only turns the receiver on
and off. It does not turn off the engine.
Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the transmitter, and
make sure the on-board 5-cell NiMh battery pack is fully charged. The
function light on the OptiDrive will flash red if the 5-cell battery pack
requires charging. Weak batteries will limit the range of the radio
signal between the receiver and the transmitter. Loss of the radio
signal can cause you to lose control of your Revo.
