Resistance - In an electrical sense, resistance is a measure of how
an object resists or obstructs the flow of current through it.
When flow is constricted, energy is converted to heat and is lost.
The Velineon power system is optimized to reduce electrical
resistance and the resulting power-robbing heat.
Rotor - The rotor is the main shaft of the brushless motor. In a
brushless motor, the magnets are mounted to the rotor, and the
electromagnetic windings are built into the motor housing.
Sensored - Sensored refers to a type of brushless motor that
uses an internal sensor in the motor to communicate rotor
position information back to the electronic speed control.
Sensorless - Sensorless refers to a brushless motor that uses
advanced instructions from an electronic speed control to
provide smooth operation. Additional motor sensors and wiring
are not required. The BL-2s electronic speed control is optimized
for smooth sensorless control.
Servo - Small motor unit in your model that operates the steering
mechanism.
Transmitter - The hand-held radio unit that sends throttle and
steering instructions to your model.
Trim - The fine-tuning adjustment of the neutral position of the
servos, made by adjusting the steering trim knob on the face of
the transmitter.
Thermal Shutdown Protection - Temperature sensing electronics
used in the electronic speed control to detect overloading and
overheating of the transistor circuitry. If excessive temperature is
detected, the unit automatically shuts down to prevent damage
to the electronics.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
2-channel radio system - The TQ radio system, consisting of
the receiver, the transmitter, and the servos. The system uses
two channels: one to operate the throttle and one to operate
the steering.
2.4GHz Spread Spectrum – This model is equipped with the latest
RC technology. Unlike AM and FM systems that require frequency
crystals and are prone to frequency conflicts, the TQ 2.4GHz system
automatically selects and locks onto an open frequency, and offers
superior resistance to interference and "glitching."
Voltage - Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential difference
between two points, such as between the positive battery terminal
and ground. Using the analogy of the garden hose, while current is
the quantity of water flow in the hose, voltage corresponds to the
pressure that is forcing the water through the hose..
IMPORTANT RADIO SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
• Do not kink the receiver antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire
will reduce range.
• DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver antenna wire. Cutting the
antenna will reduce range.
• Extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible for
maximum range. It is not necessary to extend the antenna wire out
of the body, but wrapping or coiling the antenna wire should be
avoided.
• The antenna wire must be installed into the antenna tube to
protect it from getting cut or damaged, which will reduce range.
When installing the antenna wire into the antenna tube, be
careful not to kink the wire by pressing it against the antenna
tube cap. The antenna wire should extend to just below or to
within one-half inch below the cap.
To prevent loss of radio range,
do not kink or cut the black wire,
do not bend or cut the metal tip,
and do not bend or cut the white
wire at the end of the metal tip.
