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
stop to turn TSM completely off.
assistance
Note: TSM is deactivated
automatically when driving or
braking in reverse. TSM off
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.
