The Traxxas TQ Radio System
The battery compartments can be reconfigured to accept many sizes
of LiPo batteries. If you are using batteries that are very thick, the
spring clip may need to be removed from the battery compartment.
Spring Clip Removal
1. Pull down on the inside
of the clip.
2. Push the clip in toward
the center of the model
to release.
Spring Clip 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.
Many LiPo batteries do not use a hard plastic case. If using LiPo
batteries that do not have a hard case, always be sure to use the
foam rubber cushion in the front of the battery compartment.
Do not use the battery retainer tabs 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 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 EVX-2. The Traxxas connector’s gold-plated terminals with
a 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.
To run this model, your batteries must be equipped with Traxxas
High-Current Connectors. Batteries can either be purchased new
with Traxxas connectors installed or Traxxas connectors can be
purchased to install on battery packs you already own. See sidebar
for packages available from your hobby dealer.
The typical Molex style connector is inadequate for
use in your model. It creates resistance that becomes
a bottleneck to current flow.
If your battery pack
is equipped with a Molex connector, it must be
replaced with a Traxxas High-Current Connector to
mate with the EVX-2 electronic speed control.
