THE TRAXXAS TQ RADIO SYSTEM

If the power indicator

doesn’t light red, check the

polarity of the batteries.

Check rechargeable

batteries for a full charge.

Spray a little window cleaner

on the antenna wire to make

it easier to push through the

antenna tube.

Don’t shorten the length of

the antenna wire. Its length

is tuned to the frequency

band; cutting it could

severely shorten the radio

system’s range.

If there are any kinks in the

black antenna wire, it will

be more difﬁcult to push

through the antenna tube.

Pull the wire straight by

sandwiching it between your

thumb and index ﬁnger and

running your ﬁngers along

the length of the wire (with

medium pressure).

See page 18 for more

information about the

receiver box and maintaining

a watertight seal.

INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

Your TQ transmitter uses 8 AA batteries (see sidebar, page 11).

The battery compartment is located in the base of the transmitter.

1. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing the tab and

lifting the door up.

2. Install the batteries in the correct orientation as indicated in the

battery compartment.

3. Reinstall the battery door and snap it closed.

4. Turn on the transmitter and check the power indicator for a solid

red light.

If the power indicator light ﬂashes, then the transmitter batteries

are weak, discharged or possibly installed incorrectly. Replace with

new or freshly charged batteries. The power indicator light does not

indicate the charge level of the battery pack installed in the model.

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA

1. Locate the black antenna wire that exits

the receiver box.

2. Pull the wire straight with your ﬁngers

and then insert the end of the wire

into one end of the antenna tube (the

antenna tube can be found in the

documents bag). Push the wire all the

way through the antenna tube. The wire

is longer than the tube. Do not cut or

shorten the antenna wire.

3. Insert the base of the tube into the

antenna mount. Take care not to crimp

the antenna wire.

4. Using the supplied 1.5mm “L” wrench,

thread the 1.5mm set screw into the

opening next to the antenna. Tighten

the set screw until it is ﬂush with the top

of the opening.

5. Fold the top of the antenna wire over

the top of the antenna tube. Slide the

antenna tip onto the top of the antenna

tube. Do not cut or shorten the antenna

wire.

6. The receiver antenna installation is

complete. Always fully extend the

transmitter’s telescoping antenna when

running your model. Make a habit of

holding the transmitter so the antenna

points straight up.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Your model includes a ‘wall charger’ that will

charge the supplied battery in approximately

six hours.

Plug the charger into the wall. Connect

the included battery pack to the charger output

cord. After six hours,

unplug the battery from the

charger, and unplug the charger from the wall,

when charging is complete. Never leave a battery

unattended while charging.
