Steering and Throttle End Points
The TQi transmitter allows you to choose the limit of the servo’s travel
range (or its “end point”) independently for left and right travel (on the
steering channel) and throttle/brake travel (on the throttle channel).
This allows you to fine-tune the servo settings to prevent binding
caused by the servo moving steering or throttle linkages (in the case
of a nitro model) farther than their mechanical limits. The end point
adjustment settings you select will represent what you wish to be the
servo’s maximum travel; the Steering Percentage or Braking Percentage
functions will not override the End Point settings.
Steering and Throttle Sub-Trim
The Sub-Trim function is used to precisely set the neutral point of the
steering or throttle servo in the event that simply setting the trim knob
to “zero” does not completely center the servo. When selected, Sub-Trim
allows finer adjustment to the servo output shaft’s position for precise
setting of the neutral point. Always set the Steering Trim knob to zero
before making final adjustment (if required) using Sub-Trim. If Throttle
Trim has been previously adjusted, the Throttle Trim will need to be
reprogrammed to “zero” before making final adjustment using Sub-Trim.
Setting Lock
Once you’ve adjusted all of these settings the way you like them, you
may want to disable the Multi-Function knob so none of your settings
can be changed. This is especially handy if you operate multiple vehicles
with a single transmitter via Traxxas Link
™ Model Memory.
Multiple Settings and the Multi-Function Knob
It is important to note that settings made with the Multi-Function
knob are “overlaid” on top of each other. For example, if you assign the
Multi-Function to adjust Steering Percentage and set it for 50%, then
reassign the knob to control Steering Sensitivity, the transmitter will
“remember” the Steering Percentage setting. Adjustments you make
to Steering Sensitivity will be applied to the 50% steering throw setting
you selected previously. Likewise, setting the Multi-Function knob to
“disabled” will prevent the knob from making further adjustments, but
the last setting of the Multi-Function knob will still apply.

Failsafe
Your Traxxas radio system is equipped with a built-in failsafe function
that returns the throttle to its last saved neutral position in the event of
signal loss. The LED on the transmitter and the receiver will rapidly flash red
to indicate the failsafe has been activated.
