TQ 2.4GHz ADVANCED TUNING GUIDE
Failsafe
Your Traxxas radio system is equipped with a built-in failsafe
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.
Steering and Throttle Sub-Trim
The Sub-Trim function is used to precisely set the neutral point of the
steering or throttle servo in the event that simply setting the trim knob
to "zero" does not completely center the servo. When selected, Sub-Trim
allows finer adjustment to the servo output shaft's position for precise
setting of the neutral point. Always set the Steering Trim knob to zero
before making final adjustment (if required) using Sub-Trim. If Throttle
Trim has been previously adjusted, the Throttle Trim will need to be
reprogrammed to "zero" before making final adjustment using Sub-Trim.
Setting Lock
Once you've adjusted all of these settings the way you like them, you may
want to disable the Multi-Function knob so none of your settings can be
changed. This is especially handy if you operate multiple vehicles with a
single transmitter via Traxxas Link.
Multiple Settings and the Multi-Function Knob
It is important to note that settings made with the Multi-Function
knob are "overlaid" on top of each other. For example, if you assign the
Multi-Function to adjust Steering Percentage and set it for 50%, then
reassign the knob to control Steering Sensitivity, the transmitter will
"remember" the Steering Percentage setting. Adjustments you make to
Steering Sensitivity will be applied to the 50% steering throw setting
you selected previously. Likewise, setting the Multi-Function knob to
"disabled" will prevent the knob from making further adjustments, but
the last setting of the Multi-Function knob will still apply.
TRAXXAS LINK
Traxxas Link is an exclusive, patent-pending feature of the TQ 2.4GHz
transmitter. Each time the transmitter is bound to a new receiver, it
saves that receiver in its memory along with all the settings assigned
to that receiver. When the transmitter and any bound receiver are
switched on, the transmitter automatically recalls the settings for that
receiver. There is no need to manually select your vehicle from a list of

model memory entries.
Model Lock
The Traxxas Link feature can store up to twenty models (receivers) in its
memory. If you bind a twenty-first receiver, Traxxas Link will delete the
"oldest" receiver from its memory (in other words, the model you used
the longest time ago will be deleted). Activating Model Lock will lock
the receiver in memory so it cannot be deleted.
You may also bind multiple Traxxas Link transmitters to the same model
making it possible to pick up any transmitter and any previously bound
model in your collection and simply turn them on and drive. With
Traxxas Link, there is no need remember which transmitter goes with
which model and there is never a need to have to select any model
from a list of model memory entries. The transmitter and receiver do it
all for you automatically.
To activate Model Lock:
1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver you wish to lock.
2. Press and hold MENU. Release when the status LED blinks green.
3. Press MENU three times. The status LED will blink green four
times repeatedly.
4. Press SET. The status LED will blink green in single-flash intervals.
5. Press SET once. The status LED will blink red once repeatedly.
6. Press MENU once, the LED will blink red twice repeatedly.
7. Press SET, the LED will blink rapidly green. The memory is now locked.
Press MENU and SET to return to driving mode.
Note: To unlock a memory, press SET twice at step 5. The LED will blink
rapidly green to indicate the model is unlocked. To unlock all models,
press MENU twice at step 6 and then press SET.
To delete a model:
At some point, you may wish to delete a model you no-longer drive
from the memory.
1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver you wish to delete.
2. Press and hold MENU. Release when the status LED blinks green.
3. Press MENU three times. The status LED will blink green four
times repeatedly.
4. Press SET once. The status LED will blink green once repeatedly.
5. Press MENU once. The status LED will blink green twice repeatedly.
6. Press SET. The memory is now selected to be deleted. Press SET to
delete the model. Press and hold MENU to return to driving mode.
