TQi Binding Instructions
For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be
electronically "bound." This has been done for you at the factory.
Should you ever need to re-bind the system or bind to an additional
transmitter or receiver, follow these instructions. Note: The receiver
must be connected to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power source for binding
and the transmitter and receiver must be within 5 feet of each other.
1. Press and hold the transmitter's SET button as you switch
transmitter on. The transmitter's LED will flash red slowly.
Release the SET button.
2. Press and hold the receiver's LINK button as you switch on
the speed control by pressing the EZ-Set button. Release the LINK
button.
3. When the transmitter and receiver's LEDs turn solid green, the
system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the steering and
throttle operate properly before driving your model.
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.
TRAXXAS TQ RADIO & VELINEON POWER SYSTEM
i
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.

Fail-Safe
Your Traxxas radio system
is equipped with a built-
in fail-safe function that
returns the throttle to its
last saved neutral position
in the event of a signal loss.
The LED on the transmitter
and the receiver will rapidly
flash red when the fail-
safe mode is activated. If
fail-safe activates while you
are operating your model,
determine the reason for
signal loss and resolve the
problem before operating
your model again.
