RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your
TQi 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. Your model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this type of
malfunction, but the first, best defense against a runaway model is to
always turn the transmitter on first, and off last.
• Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the radio system.
Weak batteries will limit the radio signal between the receiver and the
transmitter.
Loss of the radio signal can cause you to lose control of
your model.
• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another, the
receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds of turning on
the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast red indicating a failure
to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the transmitter and start over.
• Always turn on the transmitter before plugging in the battery.
RADIO SYSTEM BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
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: We strongly recommend to leave this control in its factory
location until you become familiar with all the adjustments and
capabilities of your model. To change the throttle neutral adjust
position, turn the transmitter off before adjusting the neutral position.
You will need to reprogram your electronic speed control to
recognize the 70/30 setting. Turn to ESC Setup Programming on page
17 for instructions.
Steering Trim
The electronic steering trim located on the face of the
transmitter adjusts the neutral (center) point of the
steering channel.
Multi-Function Knob
The Multi-Function knob can be programmed to control
a variety of functions. From the factory, the Multi-
Function knob controls steering sensitivity, also known as
exponential or “expo.” When the knob is turned counterclockwise all
the way to the left (default position), expo is off and steering sensitivity
will be linear (the most commonly used setting). Turning the knob
clockwise will “add expo” and decrease the steering sensitivity in the
initial range of steering wheel travel left or right from center. For more
detail on steering exponential, refer to page 16.
