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
Decrease
knob counterclockwise to its
assistance
stop to turn TSM completely off.
Note: TSM is deactivated
automatically when driving or
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.

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
Recommended setting
slot in the antenna mount, then install
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.
