RADIO SYSTEM BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Trim
The steering trim knob located on the face of the
transmitter adjusts the neutral (center) point of the
steering channel. If your model pulls to the right or left
when the steering wheel is centered, turn the knob until the model
drives straight when the steering wheel is centered.
Channel Reversing
The TQ 2.4GHz transmitter has been programmed with the
correct servo direction settings for your model and should not
require adjustment. These instructions are for reference and
troubleshooting only.
Reversing a channel reverses the direction of the corresponding
servo. For example, if you turn the steering wheel to the right and the
model turns left, Channel 1 would need to be reversed to correct the
servo direction. Use the following procedures to reverse the steering
and throttle channels, if necessary. Servo reversing should only be
required if you accidentally reset the direction of a channel. Do not
reverse the steering or throttle channels unless necessary.
Steering reversing procedure:
1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter for two seconds.
The status LED will flash green.
2. Turn and hold the steering wheel to the full left or full right
position (it does not matter which position you choose).
3. While holding the steering wheel in position, press the SET button
to reverse the channel.
4. The channel is now reversed. Confirm correct servo operation
before running your model.
Throttle reversing procedure:
Note: Throttle reversing is often times unnecessary on electric
models, as issues with the throttle can usually be solved by
reprogramming the speed control and/or verifying that the motor
is wired correctly. Before attempting to reverse the throttle channel
Brake/Reverse
using the procedure below, you should first recalibrate the speed
control. Refer to "

1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter for two seconds.

2. Move and hold the throttle trigger to the full forward or full brake
Forward
position (it does not matter which position you choose).
3. While holding the throttle trigger in position, press the SET button
to reverse the channel.
4. The channel is now reversed. Recalibrate the speed control and
then confirm correct servo operation before running your model.

" on page 16.
Make certain the model's
receiver antenna is properly
installed before operating
your model. See "Setting
up the Antenna." Failure to
properly install the receiver
antenna will result in greatly
reduced radio range and
potential loss of control.
Remember, always turn the
transmitter on first and off
last to avoid damage to your
model.
When rechargeable batteries
begin to lose their charge,
they will fade much faster
than alkaline dry cells. Stop
immediately at the first sign
of weak batteries. Never turn
the transmitter off when the
battery pack is plugged
in. The model could run out
of control.
