Battery iD
Your model's included battery
pack is 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 rear of
the model. Insert the tabs of the
battery hold-down into the slots
in the rear hold-down retainer and
then place the battery hold-down
over the post. Secure the battery
hold-down with body clip in the
hole in the post. Do not connect
the battery pack yet.
Using a Different Battery Configuration
The battery hold-down is capable of accommodating either side-
by-side racing style packs, "hump packs" with a stacked seventh
cell, or the more common stick packs. The battery compartment is
configured for stick packs from the factory. The number on each
side of the hold-down indicates the battery height in millimeters
that hold-down can accommodate. Note that one side is labeled
"25" and the other side is labeled "23". The 25mm side is for use
with typical stick type battery packs. If you are using side-by-side
racing packs, simply flip the hold-down over to the 23mm side and
use it on the opposite side of the chassis. Note: For taller batteries, an
extended battery hold-down, part #5827X, is available (sold separately).
For shorter batteries (6-cell), us the included foam block in the front of
the battery compartment.

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.
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
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
sidebar for more information. Do not shorten the antenna tube.
