INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
Place the battery
pack into the battery
compartment of the
model and then place
the battery hold-down
over the posts. Secure
the battery hold-down
with body clips in the
holes in the posts. Do
not connect the battery
pack yet.
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 XL-5. 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.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna and antenna
tube must be properly installed before
operating your model. Follow these steps
to install the antenna and antenna tube:
1. Slide the antenna wire into the
antenna tube to its full extent. When
fully inserted, the wire should reach
to approximately 1/2 inch below the
tube cap. Do not leave any slack in the
antenna wire.
2. Insert the base of the antenna tube
into the molded post on the chassis.
Take care not to crimp the antenna
wire. Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! Do not shorten the antenna tube.
