Spring Clip Installation
1. Insert the two tabs on
the spring clip into the
rectangular tab slots in
the chassis.
2. Rotate the spring clip
upward.
3. Snap the tabs into place.
Many LiPo batteries do not use a hard plastic case. If using LiPo
batteries that do not have a hard case, always be sure to use the foam
rubber cushion in the front of the battery compartment. Do not use
the battery retainer tabs in the front of the battery compartments
when using LiPo batteries that are not in a hard plastic case. A hard
front impact or crash when driving can damage the LiPo batteries.
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 failsafes 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 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 page 16 for instructions.
Steering Trim
The electronic steering trim located on the
face of the transmitter adjusts the neutral
(center) point of the steering channel.
