INSTALLING BATTERY PACKS
The E-Revo requires two fully charged battery packs (not included).
Battery Installation
1. Open the battery compartment door by pressing on the release tabs.
2. Install the battery pack with the battery wires facing the rear of the
model.
3. Make sure the battery is snug in the compartment. Use the included
springs and/or retainers, if necessary.
4. Route the battery wire through the slot near the vent.
5. Close the battery door, making sure not to pinch the battery wires.
Be sure both release tabs are fully engaged with the door. Do not
connect the battery packs to the ESC at this time.
Note
: Always
unplug the batteries and remove from the model after use.
Using Different Battery Configurations
The battery compartments in the E-Revo VXL Brushless are
adjustable to accommodate a large variety of battery packs.
The battery compartments have three key features for keeping your
batteries secure:
1. A foam rubber cushion
2. Supplied battery compartment springs
3. Supplied battery retainer tabs
Use any combination of these features to prevent the batteries from
moving excessively during use.
Adjusting Battery Position
The best handling and performance is achieved when the batteries
are positioned to the front of the battery compartment (against the
foam rubber cushion); however, you can reposition the batteries to
change the weight distribution and handling if desired. The E-Revo
includes battery retainers that can be used in the front of the battery
compartment to move the batteries toward the rear of the truck.
When using the battery retainers in the front of the battery
compartment, use two 3x10 countersunk cap screws to retain each
battery retainer.
Do not use the battery retainers in the front of the
battery compartments when using LiPo batteries that are not in
a hard plastic case
. A hard front impact or crash when driving can
damage the LiPo batteries.
The battery compartments can be reconfigured to accept many sizes
of LiPo batteries using the supplied springs.
Spring Installation
1. Insert the two tabs on the
spring clip into the rectangular
tab slots in the chassis.
2. Rotate the spring clip upward.
3. Snap the tabs into place.
Spring Removal
1. Pull down on the inside of
the clip.
2. Push the clip in toward
the center of the model to
release.
Battery iD
Traxxas recommended
battery packs are equipped
with Traxxas Battery iD. This
exclusive feature allows
Traxxas battery chargers (sold
separately) to automatically
recognize connected battery
packs and optimize the
charge settings for the
battery. This eliminates
the need to worry over
charger settings and menus
for the easiest and safest
charging solution possible.
Visit Traxxas.com to learn
more about this feature and
available Traxxas iD chargers
and batteries.
The Traxxas
High-Current Connector
Your model is equipped
with the Traxxas High-
Current Connector. Standard
connectors restrict current
flow and are not capable of
delivering the power needed
to maximize the output of
the VXL-6s. The Traxxas
connector’s gold-plated
terminals, with large contact
surfaces, ensure positive
current flow with the least
amount of resistance. Secure,
long-lasting, and easy to
grip, the Traxxas connector
is engineered to extract all
the power your battery has
to give.
