RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your TQi 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.
• Always use new 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.
• 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 turn on the transmitter before plugging in the battery.
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%).
Note: We strongly recommend to leave this control in its factory
location until you become familiar with all the adjustments and
capabilities of your model. To change the throttle neutral adjust position,
turn the transmitter off before adjusting the neutral position. You will
need to reprogram your electronic speed control to recognize the
70/30 setting.
The default 50/50 setting is recommended. Turn to XL-5 HV
Setup Programming on page 18 for instructions.
Steering Trim
Turn the steering trim knob to precisely set
the steering neutral point. To adjust, drive
the vehicle forward slowly while “steering”
with the trim knob until the vehicle travels
in a straight line with no steering input.
Multi-Function Knob
The Multi-Function knob can be programmed to control a variety of
functions. From the factory, the Multi-Function knob controls Cruise
Control on the TRX-4. For more detail on the cruise control, refer to
page 17.
