INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACKS
1
1. Pull out on the battery hold-down using the two release tabs and lift the
hold-down up.
2. Insert a fully charged battery into the battery compartment with the High
Current Connector positioned toward the front of the model.
3. Lower the battery hold-down and push it in toward the center of the truck
to snap it closed.
4. Repeat for the opposite battery.
Note: The battery compartment includes foam spacers
to accommodate the Traxxas 6700mAh 4S battery
packs (part #2890X). When using Traxxas 5000mAh 3S
battery packs (part #2872X), install the battery pack
spacers onto the hold-downs (they simply snap into
place); you will also need to use the included foam
spacer blocks.
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 VXL-8s. 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.
