The Traxxas TQ-3 Radio System
Your Revo is equipped with the TQ-3 radio system. The TQ-3 is a 3-channel system that provides up to a quarter mile range and control for up to three
servo outputs. Revo is equipped with two high-torque steering servos connected via a "Y" plug adapter (one input, two equal outputs). The TQ-3 works
in conjunction with the OptiDrive
™
Electronic Shift Module to monitor and control the input and output signals for the throttle and shifting servos
(channels). The OptiDrive monitors the voltage of the on-board RX Power Pack. The "Function" LED will flash red if the battery voltage is too low.
