Setting up the Antenna
1.
Locate the black antenna wire that exits the receiver cover. The
receiver cover is mounted on the top of the chassis, near the front.
The antenna wire exits the cover just ahead of the fuel tank.
2.
Pull the wire straight with your fingers and then insert the end of
the wire into one end of the antenna tube. Push the wire all the way
through the antenna tube.
3.
Insert the base of the tube into the molded post on the side of the
radio box.
4.
Place the antenna tip over the top of the tube to secure the
antenna wire.
5.
On the transmitter, always fully extend the telescoping antenna when
running your Revo. Make a habit of holding the transmitter so that the
antenna points straight up.

The Traxxas TQ-3 Radio System
Spray a little window
cleaner on the antenna
wire to make it easier
to push through the
antenna tube.
Don’t shorten the length
of the antenna wire. Its
length is tuned to the
frequency band; cutting it
could severely shorten the
radio system’s range.
Don’t push the
transmitter antenna down
from the top. Pull it down
from the bottom, one
segment at a time, to
prevent binding and
kinking the antenna mast.
