TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT (TSM)
Traxxas Stability Management or
TSM allows you to experience all
the speed and acceleration that
was engineered into your Traxxas
model by helping you to maintain
control of the vehicle in low-traction situations. TSM helps provide
straight ahead full-throttle acceleration on slippery surfaces,
without fishtailing, spinouts, or loss of control. TSM also dramatically
improves braking control. High speed cornering and control is also
made possible as TSM makes corrections for you, without intruding
on your fun, or creating unexpected side effects.
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
Decrease
assistance
stop to turn TSM completely off.
Note: TSM is deactivated
automatically when driving or
TSM off
braking in reverse.
When driving on surfaces with
some traction, decrease the TSM setting to allow the vehicle to feel
more "loose" for power sliding, drifting, and so on. On surfaces with
very little traction (loose dirt, smooth concrete, ice/snow), increase
TSM to maximize acceleration and control.
Drive with TSM on and off to test how it is making your control of
the vehicle easier and more precise. For more information, visit
Traxxas.com/tsm.
Note: TSM must be completely turned off while adjusting steering
trim.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up
and installed from the factory. The
antenna is secured by a 3x4mm set
screw. To remove the antenna tube,
simply remove the set screw with the
included 1.5mm wrench.
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. Next insert the antenna tube
into the mount while making sure
that antenna wire is in the slot in the antenna mount, then install
Recommended setting
the set screw next to the antenna tube. Use the supplied 1.5mm
wrench to tighten the screw just until the antenna tube is securely
in place. Do not over tighten. Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! See the sidebar for more information. Do not shorten the
antenna tube.
SELF RIGHTING
Your model is equipped with Traxxas
Self Righting that will allow you to
automatically return it to an upright

position after a rollover.
assistance
there is adequate space around
Stampede 4X4 VXL and no people or
animals are nearby before self righting.
The model moves quickly and the tires
are spinning at high speed. If a person
or animal approaches the model during
self righting, cancel immediately by
moving the steering wheel or the throttle trigger. Press and hold
the SET button on the transmitter for four (4) seconds to activate the
self-righting feature. Once activated, the SET button can be released.
Note: Certain driving surfaces or conditions may prevent the model
from uprighting itself. After several attempts, self righting will cancel.
Press the SET button to try again, or go and retrieve your model.
*3s LiPo battery pack required for the self-righting feature to operate
properly.
