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
electronic speed control. 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.
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 on this page 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
electronic speed control.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
You must install the antenna mast (tube) before you
operate your model. You’ll find the plastic antenna
tube and tip in the bag with your manuals and
documentation.
1. Slide the antenna wire into the bottom of the
antenna tube until the white tip of the antenna is at
the top of the tube under the black cap.
2. Insert the base of the tube into the antenna post.
Take care not to crimp the antenna wire.
3. To prevent loss of radio range, do not kink or cut
the black wire, do not bend or cut the metal tip, and
do not bend or cut the white wire at the end of the
metal tip.
RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your transmitter on first and off last. This procedure
will help to prevent your model from receiving stray signals
from another transmitter, or other source, and running out of
control. Your model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this type of
malfunction, but the first, best defense against a runaway model is
to always turn the transmitter on first and off last.
• Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the radio system.
Weak batteries will limit the radio signal between the receiver and
the transmitter.
Loss of the radio signal can cause you to lose control
of your model.
• Always turn on the transmitter before plugging in the battery.
• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another,
the receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds
of turning on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast
red, indicating a failure to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the
transmitter and start over.
Always turn your
transmitter on first.
Turn on the model.
