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
knob counterclockwise to its
assistance
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. The
antenna is secured by a 3x4mm set
screw. To remove the antenna tube,
simply remove the set screw with the
included 1.5mm wrench.
When reinstalling 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. Next insert the
antenna tube into the mount while
making sure that antenna wire is in
slot in the antenna mount, then install
the set screw next to the antenna tube. Use the supplied 1.5mm
Recommended setting
wrench to tighten the screw just until the antenna tube is securely
in place. Do not over tighten. Do not bend or kink the antenna wire!
See the side bar for more information. Do not shorten the antenna
tube.
