RADIO SYSTEM CONTROLS
The transmitter is equipped with a Trans Brake button for enhanced
drag racing launch control. The Trans Brake allows the driver to
release the button and launch instantly at a preset amount of
power, while also preventing the model from rolling until racing
starts. With the throttle trigger at neutral, press and hold the Trans
Brake button with your thumb. Pull the trigger to your desired
throttle setting, and then release the Trans Brake button to launch
the vehicle down the track.

RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your TQi transmitter on first and off last. This
procedure will help to prevent your model from receiving stray
signals from another transmitter, or other source, and running out
of control. Your model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this type
of malfunction, but the first, best defense against a runaway model
is to always turn the transmitter on first and off last.

Automatic Fail-Safe
The TQi transmitter and
receiver are equipped with
an automatic fail-safe system
that does not require user
programming. In the event
of signal loss or interference,
the throttle will return to
neutral and the steering will
hold its last commanded
position. If the fail-safe
system activates while you
are operating your model,
determine the reason for
signal loss and resolve the
problem before operating
your model again.
Stop immediately at the first
sign of weak batteries. Never
turn the transmitter off when
the battery pack is plugged
in. The model could run out
of control.
