RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your TQ 2.4GHz transmitter on first and off last. This
procedure will help to prevent your model from receiving stray
signals from another transmitter, or other source, and running
out of control. Your model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this
type of malfunction, but the first, best defense against a runaway
model is to always turn the transmitter on first and off last.

receiver on second.
• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another,
the receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds
of turning on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast
red, indicating a failure to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the
transmitter and start over.
• Always have the transmitter and receiver turned on before you
start the engine. Never turn the radio system off while the engine
is running. The on/off switch in the model only turns the receiver
on and off. It does not turn off the engine.
• Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the radio system.
Weak batteries will limit the radio signal between the receiver
and the transmitter. Loss of the radio signal can cause you to lose
control of your model.
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
Brake
when the steering wheel is centered, turn the knob until the model
drives straight when the steering wheel is centered.
Servo Reversing
The TQ 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.
Forward
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 or throttle channel if necessary. Servo reversing should only
be required if you accidentally reset the direction of a channel. Do not
reverse the throttle or steering channels unless necessary.
Note: Before performing these procedures, make sure that both the
transmitter and receiver are powered on.

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.

Remember to always turn the
TQ transmitter on first and off
last to avoid loss of control
and damage to your model.
If the status LED doesn't light
green, check the polarity of the
batteries. Check rechargeable
batteries for a full charge. If
you see any other flashing
signal from the status LED,
refer to the chart on page 13 to
identify the code.
Make certain the model's
receiver antenna is properly
installed before operating
your model. See "Installing
the Receiver Antenna." Failure
to properly install the receiver
antenna will result in greatly
reduced radio range and
potential loss of control.
