Traxxas TQ Radio Systems
Before attempting to program your VXL-3s, it is important
to make sure your TQ transmitter is properly adjusted (set
back to the factory defaults). Otherwise, you may not get
the best performance from your speed control.
The transmitter should be adjusted as follows:
1. Set the throttle neutral switch to the 50/50 setting.
This adjusts the transmitter’s throttle trigger throw
to 50% for throttle and 50% for braking and reverse.
Experienced users may wish to use the 70/30 setting if
more broad proportional control is desired in forward
than with braking and reverse. This might be desirable
in a racing environment where reverse is disabled.
2. Set the throttle trim control to the middle “0” setting.
3. Set the Channel 2 servo reversing switch to the left
position. Do not change the position of any of the servo
reversing switches after programming the VXL-3s.
4. You are now ready to program your speed control.
Aftermarket (Non-Traxxas) Transmitters
The following instructions are provided as a general
reference only for those who are using non-Traxxas
transmitters. Consult your transmitter’s instructions for
information on how to change the settings.
1. Set the High ATV (adjustable travel volume) or EPA
(end point adjustment) to the maximum setting. This
is the amount of servo throw at full throttle.
2. Set the Low ATV, EPA or ATL (low side only trim
adjustment) to the maximum setting. This is the
amount of servo throw at full brakes or reverse.
3. Set the throttle trim to the middle (neutral setting).
4. Set the throttle channel reversing switch to either
position. Do not change the switch position after
programming.
5. Set the trigger throw adjustment to 50% throttle and
50% brake (either mechanical or electronic).
6. Set the exponential setting (if equipped) to the zero or
fully linear setting.
Aftermarket Receivers
The VXL-3s is compatible with most
aftermarket receivers. By removing
the tab on the edge of the power
connector, the VXL-3s can be plugged
directly into some models of Futaba
® ,
Airtronics ® , Hitec ® , and JR ® receivers.
