TQ 2.4GHz Binding Instructions

For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be
electronically 'bound.' This has been done for you at the factory.
Should you ever need to re-bind the system or bind to an additional
transmitter or receiver, follow these instructions. Note: the receiver
must be connected to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power source for binding
and the transmitter and receiver must be within 5 feet of each other.
1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter.
2. Turn on the transmitter and release the SET button. The status LED
will flash red slowly, indicating that the transmitter is in bind mode.
3. Press and hold the LINK button on the receiver.
4. Turn on the vehicle and release the LINK button. The LED on the
receiver will flash red, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode.
5. When the LEDs on both the transmitter and the receiver turn solid
green, the system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the
steering and throttle operate properly before driving your model.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER ANTENNA

The receiver antenna and antenna tube must be properly installed
before operating your model. The antenna tube has been precisely
cut to match the length of the antenna wire. Follow these steps to
install the antenna and antenna tube:
1. Slide the antenna wire into the antenna tube until the antenna's
white tip just reaches the tube cap. Do not crush the antenna wire
against the cap.
2. Insert the tube into the antenna
post. Take care not to crimp the
antenna wire.
3. Slide the crimp nut over the
antenna tube and thread it onto
the antenna post. Use the supplied
tool to thread the crimp nut over
the post until the antenna tube is
secure. Do not over-tighten the nut
or crush the antenna wire against
the chassis. Do not bend or kink
the antenna wire! Do not shorten
the antenna tube. See the side bar
for more information.

Fail-Safe / Low- Consistent low voltage in the
Voltage Detect receiver triggers Fail Safe so
that there is enough power to
center the throttle servo before it
completely loses power.
To prevent loss of radio range,
do not kink or cut the black wire,
do not bend or cut the metal tip,
and do not bend or cut the white
wire at the end of the metal tip.
Correct No No No
Fail-Safe
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 when the failsafe
mode is activated. If Fail-
Safe activates while you
are operating your model,
determine the reason for
signal loss and resolve the
problem before operating
your model again.
