TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM

TQ RADIO SYSTEM RULES

Always turn your TQ 2.4GHz transmitter on first and off last. This

procedure will help to prevent your model from receiving stray

signals from another transmitter, or other source, and running out

of control. Your model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this type

of malfunction, but the first, best defense against a runaway model

is to always turn the transmitter on first, and off last.

In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another, the

receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds of turning

on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast red indicating a

failure to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the transmitter and start over.

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 radio

system. Weak batteries will limit the radio signal between the

receiver and the transmitter. Loss of the radio signal can cause

you to lose control of your model.

TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM BASIC ADJUSTMENTS

Throttle Neutral Adjustment

The throttle neutral adjustment is located on

the transmitter face and controls the forward/

reverse travel of the throttle trigger. Change

the adjustment by pressing the button and

sliding it to the desired position. There are

two settings available:

50/50: Allows equal travel for both acceleration and reverse.

70/30: Allows more throttle travel (70%) and less reverse travel (30%).

50/50 is required setting for the Nitro 4-Tec 3.3 with TRX 3.3

Racing Engine installed.

Steering Trim

The electronic steering trim located on the face of the

transmitter adjusts the neutral (center) point of the

steering channel.

Multi-Function Knob

The Multi-Function knob can be programmed to

control a variety of functions. From the factory, the

Multi-Function knob controls steering sensitivity,

also known as exponential or “expo.” When the knob is turned

counterclockwise all the way to the left (default position), expo is

off and steering sensitivity will be linear (the most commonly used

setting). Turning the knob clockwise will “add expo” and decrease

the steering sensitivity in the initial range of steering wheel travel

left or right from center. For more detail on steering exponential,

refer to page 13.

Remember, always turn the

TQ transmitter on rst and

off last to avoid damage to

your model.

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.
