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 car) 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.
TRAXXAS LINK MODEL MEMORY
Traxxas Link Model Memory is an exclusive, patent-pending
feature of the TQi transmitter. Each time the transmitter is bound
to a new receiver, it saves that receiver in its memory along with
all the settings assigned to that receiver. When the transmitter and
any bound receiver are switched on, the transmitter automatically
recalls the settings for that receiver. There is no need to manually
select your vehicle from a list of model memory entries.
Model Lock
The Traxxas Link Model Memory feature can store up to thirty
models (receivers) in its memory. If you bind a thirty-first receiver,
Traxxas Link Model Memory will delete the "oldest" receiver from
its memory (in other words, the model you used the longest time
ago will be deleted). Activating Model Lock will lock the receiver in
memory so it cannot be deleted.
You may also bind multiple TQi transmitters to the same model
making it possible to pick up any transmitter and any previously
bound model in your collection and simply turn them on and drive.
With Traxxas Link Model Memory, there is no need remember which
transmitter goes with which model and there is never a need to
have to select any model from a list of model memory entries. The
transmitter and receiver do it all for you automatically.
To activate Model Lock:
1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver you wish to lock.
2. Press and hold MENU. Release when the status LED blinks green.
3. Press MENU three times. The status LED will blink green four
times repeatedly.
4. Press SET. The status LED will blink green in single-flash
intervals.
5. Press SET once. The status LED will blink red once repeatedly.
6. Press MENU once, the LED will blink red twice repeatedly.
7. Press SET, the LED will blink rapidly green. The memory is now
locked. Press MENU and SET to return to driving mode.
Note: To unlock a memory, press SET twice at step 5. The LED will
blink rapidly green to indicate the model is unlocked. To unlock
all models, press MENU twice at step 6 and then press SET.
To delete a model:
At some point, you may wish to delete a model you no-longer
drive from the memory.
1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver you wish to delete.
2. Press and hold MENU. Release when the status LED blinks green.
3. Press MENU three times. The status LED will blink green four
times repeatedly.
4. Press SET once. The status LED will blink green once repeatedly.
5. Press MENU once. The status LED will blink green twice
repeatedly.
6. Press SET. The memory is now selected to be deleted.
Press SET to delete the model. Press and hold MENU to
return to driving mode.
