TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT (TSM)
Your vehicle is equipped with
Traxxas Stability Management or
TSM. This exclusive feature makes
millisecond-fast steering adjustments
to help you maintain precise control during rapid acceleration and
braking. TSM is turned on by default and we recommend that you
use TSM as you become familiar with driving your Drag Slash. TSM
never reduces power for acceleration and braking. The amount of
TSM assistance is adjustable and controlled by the multi-function
knob on your transmitter.
The Multi-Function knob on
the TQi transmitter has been
programmed to control TSM.
The recommended (default)
setting for TSM is to rotate the
knob to the 12:00 position (the
zero mark on the dial).
Turn the knob clockwise to
increase assistance; turn the
knob counterclockwise to
decrease assistance. Turn the
knob counterclockwise to its
stop to completely disable TSM.
Decrease
assistance
Note: TSM is deactivated
automatically when driving or
braking in reverse.
TSM off
Note: TSM must be completely
turned off while adjusting
steering trim.

TSM MODES
While we recommend leaving TSM on for fun racing, some club
events do not allow electronic aids and assistance for acceleration.
TSM has an exclusive Drag Race Mode that turns off TSM assistance
for acceleration and racing, but leaves TSM on for secure, controlled
braking once you cross the finish line. Braking with TSM helps the
Drag Slash stop in a straight line, reducing the chance of spinning
around.
Drag Race Mode Operation:
The model must be turned on but completely stopped with the
transmitter's throttle trigger at neutral position before selecting
Drag Race Mode (brake-only TSM).
1. Turn on the model and the transmitter.
2. Remove the rubber plug from the receiver cover. The LED on the
receiver will be solid green.
3. Press and hold the receiver's LINK button until the LED shines red
(1 second), then immediately release the button.
4. The LED will blink green rapidly
to indicate Drag Race Mode has
been selected. The blinking LED
can be used to show the race
director that TSM assistance has
Recommended setting
been turned off for racing and
will only operate for braking.
5. Reinstall the rubber plug in the receiver cover.
6. Repeat the steps to return the receiver to full TSM functionality for
normal driving. The LED will turn solid green.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up
and installed from the factory.
Increase
assistance
When reinstalling the antenna, first slide
the antenna wire into the bottom of the
antenna tube until the white tip of the
antenna is at the top of the tube under
the black cap. Insert the base of the tube
into the antenna post. Take care not to
crimp the antenna wire. Slide the crimp
nut over the antenna tube and screw it
onto the antenna post. Use the supplied
tool to tighten the crimp nut on the post
just until the antenna tube is securely
in place. Do not over tighten or crush
the antenna wire against the chassis. Do
not bend or kink the antenna wire! See
the sidebar for more information. Do not
shorten the antenna tube. The minimum
height is 62mm.
