you turn the knob, the more pronounced the change in steering
servo movement will be. The term “exponential” comes from this
effect; the servo’s travel changes exponentially relative to the input
from the steering wheel. The exponential effect is indicated as a
percentage—the greater the percentage, the greater the effect. The
illustrations below show how this works.
Normal Steering Sensitivity (0% exponential)
In this illustration, the
steering servo’s travel (and
with it, the steering motion
of the model’s front wheels)
corresponds precisely with
the steering wheel. The
ranges are exaggerated for
illustrative purposes.
Decreased Steering Sensitivity (Negative Exponential)
By turning the Multi-
Function knob clockwise,
the steering sensitivity of
the model will be decreased.
Note that a relatively large
amount of steering wheel
travel results in a smaller
amount of servo travel.
The farther you turn the
knob, the more pronounced the effect becomes.
Decreased steering sensitivity may be helpful when driving on
low-traction surfaces, when driving at high speed, or on tracks that
favor sweeping turns where gentle steering inputs are required. The
ranges are exaggerated for illustrative purposes.
Experiment! Try varying degrees of exponential. It’s easy to go
back to “zero” if you don’t like the effect. There’s no wrong way to adjust
exponential. Any setting that makes you more comfortable with your
car’s handling is the “right setting.”
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up and installed from the factory.
When reinstalling the antenna,
first slide the antenna wire into
bottom of antenna tube until
white tip of antenna is at top of
tube under the black cap. Insert
the base of the tube into the
antenna post. Take care not to
crimp the antenna wire. Slide the
crimp nut over the antenna tube
and screw it onto the antenna
post. Use the supplied tool to
tighten the crimp nut on the
post just until the antenna tube
is securely in place. Do not over
tighten or crush the antenna wire
against the chassis. Do not bend
or kink the antenna wire! See the
side bar for more information.
Do not shorten the antenna tube.

Automatic Fail-Safe
The TQ 2.4GHz transmitter
and receiver are equipped
with an automatic fail-
safe system that does not
require user programming.
In the event of signal loss
or interference, the throttle
will return to neutral and
the steering will hold its
last commanded position. 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.
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.
