Receiver Installation
For best performance, it is recommended that this receiver be installed in the
same orientation as the original receiver (with the label facing upward). Refer to
your owner’s manual for additional information, wiring diagrams, and detailed
instructions on maintaining a watertight seal.
Use double-sided adhesive foam tape to install the receiver into the
receiver box. Once installed, plug the wires into the receiver.
TQi 2.4GHz Binding Instructions
For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be electronically “bound”.
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 transmitter’s SET button as you switch transmitter on.
The transmitter’s LED will flash red slowly. Release the SET button.
2. Press and hold the receiver’s LINK button as you switch the model on. Release
the LINK button.
3. When the transmitter and receiver’s LEDs turn solid green, the system is bound
and ready for use.
4. Confirm that the steering and throttle operate properly before driving your
model. If you have installed the receiver in a stock Traxxas model, refer to your
owner’s manual for additional information. Follow the steps to set your radio
system to the default servo reversing and/or ESC settings for your model. If
you have installed the receiver in a non-Traxxas model, refer to the TQi 2.4GHz
transmitter’s instructions for information on how to adjust the transmitter’s
servo reversing, trims, and other functions manually.
Using the Traxxas Link App with the #6533 Receiver
A Traxxas TQi transmitter with the Traxxas Link Wireless Module (part
#6511) installed is required to control the receiver within the Traxxas Link
App (see Related Parts List). A TQi transmitter equipped with the multi-
function knob is required to adjust the TSM assistance. The Traxxas Link
Wireless Module is also required in order to load the proper software for
your specic vehicle model into the receiver.
The Traxxas Link™ App* (available in the Apple App Store
℠
or on Google Play™)
includes customized Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) settings for each Traxxas
model. Download the Traxxas Link App to your Apple® iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®,
or Android™ device and select your model from the Home screen. This will set the
Multi-Function knob on the TQi transmitter to control TSM, and provide the best
performance results from the #6533 receiver.
About 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 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.
