INSTALLING BATTERY PACKS
The included batteries must be fully charged
before installation in the model. The battery
packs should be removed from the vehicle
before charging. Do not leave the battery
unattended while charging.
1.
Remove the battery hold-down by
pressing on the release tab and lifting out
the hold-down.
2.
Install the battery pack with the battery
wires facing the rear of the model.
3.
Insert the tabs of the battery hold-down into
the slots in the rear hold-down retainer (A).
Swing the battery hold down towards the
chassis and snap (lock) the end into the front
hold-down retainer (B).
Using Different Battery Configurations
The battery hold-downs are
capable of accommodating
either side-by-side racing
style packs or the more
common stick packs. The
battery compartments are
configured for stick packs
from the factory. The
number on each side of
the hold down indicates
the battery height in
millimeters that hold-
down can accommodate.
Note that one side is labeled “25” and other side is labeled “23”. The
25mm side is for use with typical stick type battery packs. If you are
using side-by-side racing packs, simply flip the hold-down over to the
23mm side and use it on the opposite side of the chassis. Accessory hold
downs and foam (part #3927X) are available to accommodate larger
battery packs. See the 3903 E-Maxx parts list for more information.
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.

When using 6-cell battery packs, install the supplied foam block
(spacer) into the front of the battery compartment. The spacers are
located in your instructions package. The spacers are shaped to
conform to the chassis. There is a right and a left. Test fit them to
confirm their location. Remove the backing from the self adhesive
strips and secure them to the front of the battery compartments.
