their model at distances farther than a football field (300+ feet). At greater distances, you could lose sight of your model and you may also exceed the radio system’s operating range which will cause the fail-safe system to activate. For best visibility and control of your model keep your model within 200 feet, regardless of the maximum range available.

No matter how fast or far you drive your model, always leave adequate space between you, the model, and others. Never drive directly toward yourself or others.

TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM

TQ 2.4GHz Binding Instructions

For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be electronically ‘bound.’ This has been done for you at the factory. Should you ever need to re-bind the system or bind to an additional transmitter or receiver, follow these instructions. Note: the receiver must be connected to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power source for binding and the transmitter and receiver must be within 5 feet of each other.

1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter.

2. Turn on the transmitter and release the SET button. The status LED will

flash red slowly, indicating that the transmitter is in bind mode.

3. Press and hold the LINK button on the receiver.

4. Turn on the speed control by pressing the EZ-Set button and release

To prevent loss of radio range, do not kink or cut the black wire, do not bend or cut the metal tip, and do not bend or cut the white wire at the end of the metal tip.

5. When the LEDs on both the transmitter and the receiver turn solid

green, the system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the

steering and throttle operate properly before driving your model.

Transmitter and receiver are no longer bound. Turn the system off and then back on to resume normal operation. Find source of the link failure (i.e., out of range, low batteries, damaged antenna).

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA

The receiver antenna and antenna tube must be properly installed before operating your model. Follow these steps to install the antenna and antenna tube:

1. Slide the antenna wire into the antenna

tube to its full extent. When fully inserted,

the wire should reach to approximately 1/2
