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 and antenna tube must be properly installed
before operating your model. Follow these steps to install the
antenna and antenna tube.
