The Traxxas TQ Radio System
If the power indicator light flashes, then the transmitter
batteries are weak, discharged or possibly installed incorrectly.
Replace with new or freshly charged batteries. The power
indicator light does not indicate the charge level of the 7.2 volt
battery pack in the model.
Installing the Battery Pack
Place the battery pack into
the front compartment of
the boat and secure it
tightly with the Velcro
™
strap. Do not connect the
battery pack yet.
Charging The Batteries
The Villain requires 8 AA batteries and a fully charged 7.2 volt
NiCad or NiMH battery pack. These batteries are not included with
the model. You can use either a side-by-side racing style pack or
the more common stick pack. The battery compartment on the
Villain is designed to handle both. The Villain’s run time is greatly
affected by the milliamp hour (mAh) rating of the batteries. A
3000 mAh battery pack will theoretically run twice as long as a
1500 mAh pack. Follow the charger manufacturer’s directions for
charging and caring for your battery packs.
The 7.2 volt battery pack (not included) must be fully charged
before installing it in the boat.
Always remove the battery from
the model before charging. For convenience, we recommend
using a an AC peak-detecting charger that plugs into an AC wall
outlet. This type of charger uses special voltage detection circuitry
that automatically shuts the charger off when the battery is fully
charged. If you are using a 15-minute timed charger, always fully
discharge the battery pack before each charge. Never leave a
battery charging unattended.
Always follow the charger
manufacturer’s instructions.
Battery Installation
Installing Transmitter Batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment door
by pressing the tab and lifting the door up.
2. Install 8 AA batteries in the correct orientation
as indicated in the battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery door and snap it closed.
4. Turn on the transmitter and check the power
indicator for a solid red light.
Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter uses AA
batteries. Use new alkaline
batteries, or rechargeable
batteries such as NiCad or
NiMH (nickel-metal hydride)
batteries in your transmitter.
Make sure rechargeable
batteries are fully charged
according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If you use rechargeable
batteries in your transmitter,
be aware that when they
begin to lose their charge,
they lose power much more
quickly than regular alkaline
batteries.
Caution: Discontinue
running your Villain at the
first sign of weak
transmitter batteries
(flashing red light) to avoid
losing control.
