T-MAXX 3.3 OWNERS MANUAL
USING THE TQ-3 RADIO SYSTEM
The TQ-3 Radio System was pre-adjusted at the factory.
The adjustment should be checked before running the
model, in case of movement during shipping. Here’s how:
1. Fully extend the chrome antenna mast on the transmitter and turn the
switch on. The red indicator light on the transmitter should be solid red
(not ashing).
2. Turn on the receiver switch in the model. The switch is located in the
side of the radio compartment.
3. Position T-Maxx 3.3 so that its front wheels are off the ground.
4. Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter back and forth and check
for rapid operation of the steering servo. Also, check that the steering
mechanism is not loose or binding. If the steering operates slowly, then
make sure you have fresh receiver batteries .
5. When looking down at model, the front wheels should be pointing
straight ahead. If the wheels are turned slightly to the left or right,
slowly adjust the steering trim control on the transmitter until they are
pointing straight ahead.
6.
Operate the throttle trigger
on the transmitter and
check for rapid operation
of the throttle servo. When
the throttle trigger is
pulled back, the carburetor
should open (slide moves
out). When the throttle trigger is pushed all the way forward, the brake
should lock.
7. Once adjustments are made, turn off the receiver on your T-Maxx 3.3,
followed by the hand-held transmitter.
RANGE-TESTING THE TQ-3 RADIO SYSTEM
Before each running
session with your
T-Maxx 3.3, you should range-test
your radio system to ensure that it
operates properly.
1. Turn on the radio system and
check its operation as described
in the previous section (Using
the TQ-3 Radio System).
2. Have a friend hold the model
with the engine off.
3.
Make sure your transmitter
antenna is fully extended, and
then walk away from the model
with the transmitter until you
reach the farthest distance you
plan to operate the model.
4.
Operate the controls on the transmitter once again to be sure that the
model responds correctly.
5.
Do not attempt to operate the model if there is any problem with the
radio system or any external interference with your radio signal at
your location.

Servo Operation
When the engine is running, don’t use the throttle trim on the
transmitter to adjust the engine idle speed. Instead, use the idle
speed adjustment on the carburetor.
