TQ 2.4GHz Binding Instructions

For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be

electronically ‘bound.’ This has been done for you at the factory.

Should you ever need to re-bind the system or bind to an

additional transmitter or receiver, follow these instructions.

Note: the receiver must be connected to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power

source for binding and the transmitter and receiver must be within

5 feet of each other.

1. Press and hold the transmitter’s SET button as you switch

transmitter on. The transmitter’s LED will flash red slowly.

Release the SET button

2. Press and hold the receiver’s LINK button as you switch on

the speed control by pressing the EZ-Set button. Release the

LINK button.

3. When the transmitter and receiver’s LEDs turn solid green, the

system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the steering and

throttle operate properly before driving your model.

Steering Sensitivity (Exponential)

The Multi-Function knob on the TQ 2.4GHz transmitter has

been programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (also known

as exponential). The standard setting for Steering Sensitivity is

“normal (zero exponential),” with the dial full left in its range of

travel. This setting provides linear servo response: the steering

servo’s movement will correspond exactly with the input from

the transmitter’s steering wheel. Turning the knob clockwise from

the left will result in “negative exponential” and decrease steering

sensitivity by making the servo less responsive near neutral, with

increasing sensitivity as the servo nears the limits of its travel range.

The farther you turn the knob, the more pronounced the change

in steering servo movement will be. The term “exponential” comes

from this effect; the servo’s travel changes exponentially relative

to the input from the steering wheel. The exponential effect is

indicated as a percentage—the greater the percentage, the greater

the effect. The illustrations to the right show how this works.

Normal Steering Sensitivity (0% exponential)

In this illustration, the steering servo’s travel (and with it, the steering

motion of the model’s front wheels) corresponds precisely with the

steering wheel. The ranges are exaggerated for illustrative purposes.

Decreased Steering Sensitivity (Negative Exponential)

By turning the Multi-Function knob clockwise, the steering sensitivity

of the model will be decreased. Note that a relatively large amount of

steering wheel travel results in a smaller amount of servo travel. The

farther you turn the knob, the more pronounced the effect becomes.

Decreased steering sensitivity may be helpful when driving on low-

traction surfaces, when driving at high speed, or on tracks that favor

sweeping turns where gentle steering inputs are required.

The ranges are exaggerated for illustrative purposes.

Experiment! Try varying degrees of exponential. It’s easy to go back

to “zero” if you don’t like the effect. There’s no wrong way to adjust

exponential. Any setting that makes you more comfortable with

your car’s handling is the “right setting.”
