3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Receiver Placement
Mount the receiver in a location that protects it from moisture, dirt, and physical impact. Ensure it is securely fastened using double-sided tape or a receiver box. Avoid placing it near high-current wires or motors that could cause interference.
3.2 Wiring Connections
- CH1 (Steering): Connect the steering servo to this port.
- CH2 (Throttle): Connect the electronic speed control (ESC) to this port.
- CH3, CH4: Connect auxiliary servos or accessories as needed.
- BATT/CH5: This port can be used for battery input (if not powered by ESC) or for a fifth channel.
- RPM: Connect an RPM telemetry sensor (sold separately).
- V/T: Connect a voltage or temperature telemetry sensor (sold separately).
3.3 Binding the Receiver
- Ensure your TQi transmitter is powered off.
- Connect a fully charged battery to your model and power on the electronic speed control (ESC) or receiver battery pack. The receiver's LED will flash red.
- Press and hold the LINK button on the receiver.
- While holding the LINK button, turn on your TQi transmitter.
- Release the LINK button on the receiver when the transmitter's LED begins to flash green.
- The receiver's LED will turn solid green, indicating a successful bind.
- Test all functions (steering, throttle, auxiliary channels) to confirm proper operation.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation
Once bound, the receiver will communicate wirelessly with your TQi transmitter. Ensure the transmitter is always powered on before the model and powered off after the model to maintain control.
4.2 Telemetry Functions
The TQi receiver supports telemetry, allowing you to monitor real-time data from your model (e.g., speed, battery voltage, temperature) when connected to compatible Traxxas telemetry sensors (sold separately). Data can be viewed on your TQi transmitter with a Traxxas Link Wireless Module and the Traxxas Link App on a compatible mobile device.
4.3 Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)
TSM assists in maintaining control of your vehicle, especially on slippery surfaces, by making steering corrections. The level of TSM assistance can typically be adjusted via your TQi transmitter or the Traxxas Link App.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the receiver clean and free from dirt, dust, and moisture. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove debris. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all wiring and connections for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure all plugs are securely seated.
- Storage: Store the receiver in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
