INSTALLING BATTERY PACK

Your model includes a 7.2-volt battery pack. To properly balance the model, it should be installed in the battery compartment on the left side of the model.

Follow these steps to install the battery:

Battery Installation

1.Open the battery compartment door by pressing on the

release tabs.

2. Install the battery pack with the battery wires facing the rear of the model.

3. Route the battery wire through the slot near the vent.

4.Close the battery door, making sure not to pinch the battery wires. Be sure both release tabs are fully engaged with the door. Do not connect the battery pack to the ESC at this time. Note: always unplug the battery and remove from the model after use.

Using an Additional Battery Pack for Increased Run Time

Traxxas 1/16 models only require one battery pack, but the chassis can accept two batteries. The model can be run with two battery packs to extend run time. The batteries must be connected in parallel, which will combine the capacity of the two batteries (for example, two 7.2-volt 1000mAh packs connected in parallel will deliver a total capacity of 2000mAh, but total voltage will remain 7.2 volts). This is easily done with a parallel Y-harness (part #3064, sold separately). Be sure to only use the Y-harness with identical battery packs; do not mix batteries of different chemistries or capacities. Never connect the two batteries in series — this will fail the ESC!

When operating your model with two batteries for maximum run time, be careful to monitor the temperature of the speed control and motor to prevent overheating. If either component feels excessively hot, or the speed control’s thermal overload protection activates, stop running the model immediately and allow the components to cool.

THE TRAXXAS TQ RADIO SYSTEM

Using LiPo Battery Packs in your model.

WARNING: The XL-2.5 is not directly compatible with LiPo batteries. The XL-2.5 is not equipped with low-voltage

detection. For LiPo use, the XL-2.5 requires an external low-voltage detector (sold separately, consult your hobby dealer).

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 your model. 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.

 

For best performance, it is strongly recommended

 

that you use only battery packs equipped with the

 

Traxxas High-Current Connector. However, batteries

 

with a Molex® connector may be used in the model

in conjunction with #3062 adapter.

 

The following Traxxas High Current Connector packages are available from your hobby dealer. When using adapters, be careful not to exceed the current rating of the Molex connector.

Use the Right Batteries

Your transmitter uses AA batteries. Use new alkaline batteries, or rechargeable batteries such as 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 more quickly than regular alkaline batteries.

Caution: Discontinue running your model at the first sign of weak batteries (flashing red light) to avoid losing control.
