Voltage - Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential difference Correct No No No between two points, such as between the positive battery terminal and ground. Using the analogy of the garden hose, while current is the quantity of water flow in the hose, voltage corresponds to the pressure that is forcing the water through the hose. IMPORTANT radio system Precautions • For maximum range, always point the front of transmitter toward the model. • Do not kink the receiver’s antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire will reduce range. • DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver’s antenna wire. Cutting the antenna will reduce range. • Extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible for maximum range. It is not necessary to extend the antenna wire out of the body, but wrapping or coiling the antenna wire should be avoided. • Do not allow the antenna wire to extend outside the body without the protection of an antenna tube, or the antenna wire may get cut or damaged, reducing range. It is recommended to keep the wire inside the body (in the antenna tube) to prevent the chance of damage.

Steering Sensitivity (Exponential) The Multi-Function knob on the TQi transmitter has been programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (also known as exponential). The standard setting for Steering Sensitivity is “normal (zero exponential),” with the dial full left in its range of travel. This setting provides linear servo response: the steering servo’s movement will correspond exactly with the input from the transmitter’s steering wheel. Turning the knob clockwise from the left will result in “negative exponential” and decrease steering Correct No No No sensitivity by making the servo less responsive near neutral, with increasing sensitivity as the servo nears the limits of its travel range. Experiment! Try varying degrees of exponential. It’s easy to go back The farther you turn the knob, the more pronounced the change to “zero” if you don’t like the effect. There’s no wrong way to adjust in steering servo movement will be. The term “exponential” comes exponential. Any setting that makes you more comfortable with from this effect; the servo’s travel changes exponentially relative your model’s handling is the “right setting.” to the input from the steering wheel.

The E-Maxx offers the ability to adjust the caster angle of the front by adding or removing the clip-on spring pre- suspension. Caster adjustment may be used to influence the understeer/ load spacers. Note that changes in ride height oversteer handling characteristics of the E-Maxx. Increasing the caster will occur when changes in shock angle or spring angle will increase the tendency of the truck to oversteer (less traction rates are made. You can compensate for ride on the rear tires, more traction on the front tires), while decreasing the height changes by changing the pre-load spacers caster angle will cause the truck to have a tendency to understeer (push on the shocks in the turns). This effect becomes more pronounced at higher steering Shock Mounting Positions angles and higher spring rates.
