TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT (TSM)
Traxxas Stability Management or 
TSM allows you to experience all 
the speed and acceleration that 
was engineered into your Traxxas 
model by helping you to maintain control of the vehicle in low-
traction situations. TSM helps provide straight ahead full-throttle 
acceleration on slippery surfaces, without fishtailing, spinouts, or 
loss of control. TSM also dramatically improves braking control. 
High speed cornering and control is also made possible as TSM 
makes corrections for you, without intruding on your fun, or 
creating unexpected side effects.
The Multi-Function knob on 
the TQi transmitter has been 
programmed to control TSM. 
The recommended (default) 
setting for TSM is to rotate the 
knob to the 12:00 position (the 
zero mark on the dial). 
Turn the knob clockwise to 
increase assistance; turn the 
knob counterclockwise to 
decrease assistance. Turn the  
knob counterclockwise to its  
stop to turn TSM completely 
off. Note: TSM is deactivated 
automatically when driving or 
braking in reverse. 
When driving on surfaces with 
some traction, decrease the TSM setting to allow the vehicle to feel 
more “loose” for power sliding, drifting, and so on. On surfaces with 
very little traction (loose dirt, smooth concrete, ice/snow), increase 
TSM to maximize acceleration and control. 
Drive with TSM on and off to test how it is making your control of 
the vehicle easier and more precise. For more information, visit 
Traxxas.com/tsm.
Note: TSM must be completely turned off while adjusting  
steering trim.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up and installed from the 
factory. The antenna is secured by a 3x4mm set screw. To remove 
the antenna tube, simply remove the set screw with the included 
1.5mm wrench. 
When reinstalling the antenna, first slide the antenna wire into the 
bottom of the antenna tube until the white tip of the antenna is at 
the top of the tube under the black cap. Next, insert the antenna 
tube into the mount while making sure that antenna wire is in the 
slot in the antenna mount; then, install the set screw next to the 
antenna tube. Use the supplied 1.5mm wrench to tighten the screw 
just until the antenna tube is securely in place. Do not overtighten. 
Do not bend or kink the antenna wire (see the sidebar for more 
information). Do not shorten the antenna tube.
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.
