Traxxas Stability Management® (TSM)
Traxxas Stability Management® lets you experience your 4-Tec 2.0 VXL's extreme power, speed, and acceleration by making it easier to control on slippery surfaces where traction is not ideal. Go ahead, punch it off the line! TSM senses the vehicle’s direction and makes steering corrections to provide full throttle acceleration without fishtailing or spinouts. When cornering, TSM intuitively corrects the 4-Tec VXL's line for faster exit speeds. TSM even improves braking by keeping the car arrow straight until you reach a complete stop. TSM does all this without intruding on driving fun or introducing unexpected side effects. TSM can be fine-tuned (or turned off) for different surfaces by simply adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas Link app. Drive faster and have more fun with TSM. You may not even realize how much it is helping until you try to drive without it. (click here for more details)
