THE TRAXXAS TQ RADIO SYSTEM

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.

Always have the transmitter turned on before plugging in

the battery.

Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the radio

system. Weak batteries will limit the range of the radio signal

between the receiver and the transmitter. Loss of the radio

signal can cause you to lose control of your model.

TQ RADIO SYSTEM SETUP

The TQ 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 ﬂashing).

2. Elevate the model so that all four tires are off the ground.

If you are holding the model, make sure hands and clothing are

clear of the wheels and other moving parts on the model.

3. Plug the battery pack in the model into the speed control.

4. The on/off switch is integrated into the speed control. With

the transmitter on, press the ESC set button for ½ second, until

the LED shines GREEN, then immediately release the button.

This turns the model on (see page 14 for more on ESC setup and

operation). To turn the ESC off, press the set button until the

green LED turns off. Always disconnect your battery when the

model is not in use.

5. Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter back and forth and

check for rapid operation of the steering servos. Also, check that

the steering mechanism is not loose or binding. If the steering

operates slowly, check for weak batteries.

6. 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.

7. Gently apply the throttle trigger to ensure that you have full

forward and reverse operation, and that the motor stops when

the throttle trigger is at neutral.

8. Once adjustments are made, turn off your model, followed by

the hand held transmitter.

RANGE-TESTING THE TQ RADIO SYSTEM

Before each running session with your model, 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.

2. Have a friend hold the model securely. Make sure hands

and clothing are clear of the wheels and other moving parts

on the model.

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.

Your speed control was

adjusted to the radio from

the factory. It is possible

for the throttle trim control

on the transmitter to have

moved during transit

or while handling the

transmitter. If the motor

runs when the model is

switched on, then move the

throttle trim control on the

transmitter until the motor

stops. If anything more

than a slight adjustment of

the throttle trim control is

required, then you should

readjust your speed control.

Refer to the adjustments

section on page 14.

Remember, always turn the

TQ transmitter on ﬁrst and

off last to avoid damage to

your model.

When rechargeable batteries

begin to lose their charge,

they will fade much faster

than alkaline dry cells. Stop

immediately at the ﬁrst sign

of weak batteries. Never turn

the transmitter off when the

battery pack is plugged in.

The model could run out of

control.

Always turn your

transmitter on ﬁrst.

Turn on the model.

see TQ Radio System Setup, step 4.
