The Traxxas TQ-3 Radio System
Your T-Maxx 3.3 is equipped with the TQ-3 radio system. The TQ-3 is a 3-channel system that provides up to a quarter mile range and control for up to
three servo outputs. The TQ-3 works in conjunction with the OptiDrive
™
Electronic Shift Module to monitor and control the input and output signals for
the throttle and shifting servos (channels). The OptiDrive monitors the voltage of the on-board batteries. The "Function" LED will flash red if the battery
voltage is too low.
