Battery iD
Traxxas recommended
battery packs are equipped
with Traxxas Battery iD. This
exclusive feature allows
Traxxas battery chargers (sold
separately) to automatically
recognize connected battery
packs and optimize the
charge settings for the
battery. This eliminates
the need to worry over
charger settings and menus
for the easiest and safest
charging solution possible.
Visit Traxxas.com to learn
more about this feature and
available Traxxas iD chargers
and batteries.
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.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
Install the battery pack with the battery wires facing the front of
the model. Swing the battery hold down towards the chassis and
snap (lock) the end into the front hold-down retainer.
Note: After installing the battery pack and reinstalling the body
on the chassis, secure the body with the included body clips.
Install the front body clips as shown for proper fitment.
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 XL-5. 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.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been set up
and installed from the factory. The
antenna is secured by a 3x4mm set
screw. To remove the antenna tube,
simply remove the set screw with the
included 1.5mm wrench.
When reinstalling the antenna,
first 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.
Next, insert the antenna tube into
the mount while making sure that
the antenna wire is in the slot in the antenna mount; then, install
the set screw next to the antenna tube. Use the supplied 1.5mm
wrench to tighten the screw just until the antenna tube is securely
in place. Do not over tighten. Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! See the side bar for more information. Do not shorten the
antenna tube.
