Setting Up The Antenna - Traxxas 55077-3 Owner's Manual

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 model. 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.
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
assistance
knob counterclockwise to its
stop to turn TSM completely off.
Note: TSM is deactivated
TSM off
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.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.
When installing 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.
Recommended setting
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 overtighten 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.

To prevent loss of radio range,

Correct No No No
Automatic Fail-Safe
The TQi transmitter and
receiver are equipped with
an automatic fail-safe system
that does not require user
programming. In the event
of signal loss or interference,
the throttle will return to
neutral and the steering will
hold its last commanded
position. 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.
