THE TRAXXAS TQ RADIO SYSTEM
TQ RADIO SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
In addition to the electronic throttle and steering trim controls,
your radio system features throttle neutral adjustment and servo
reversing switches. These are preset at the factory and should
not require further adjustment.
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: If you change throttle travel, you
will need to reprogram the electronic
speed control.
Electronic Throttle Trim
The electronic throttle trim located on the face of the transmitter
adjusts the neutral (center) point of the electronic speed control.
This control has been preset for you at the factory.
Electronic Steering Trim
The electronic steering trim located on the face of the transmitter
adjusts the neutral (center) point of the steering servo when
the servo is at rest. Adjust this control to make the model drive
straight with no steering input at the wheel.
Servo Reversing Switches
The servo reversing switches are located on the front of the
transmitter, next to the on/off switch. Moving a switch reverses
the direction of the corresponding servo.
Each switch corresponds to a channel, as shown below. For
example, if you turn the steering wheel to the right and your
wheels turn left, you would move the Channel 1 switch to
correct the servo direction. It may be necessary to adjust the
corresponding trim control after moving a switch.
TQ RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Each time you prepare to run your model, you
must clear your frequency to be sure no one
else in the area is using the same channel as
you. There are six possible channels, numbered
1 through 6. Each is represented by a color.
Look at the crystal plugged into the back of
your transmitter to determine which channel
your model is assigned to.
• Always turn your TQ 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.
