TQ-3 Radio System Rules

Each time you prepare to run your Revo,
you must clear your frequency to be sure
no one else in the area is using the same
channel as you.
There are six possible channels, numbered
1 through 6. Each is represented by a color.
Look at the crystal plugged into the back of
your transmitter to determine which
channel your truck is assigned to.
Always turn your TQ-3 transmitter on first
and off last. This procedure will help to prevent your Revo from
receiving stray signals from another transmitter, or other source,
and running out of control.
1
Always turn your transmitter on first.
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 transmitter, and

make sure the on-board 5-cell NiMH battery pack is fully charged.

The function light on the OptiDrive will flash red if the 5-cell battery
