Adjusting Battery Position
The best handling and performance is achieved when the batteries
are positioned to the front of the battery compartment (against the
foam rubber cushion). However, you can reposition the batteries
to change the weight
distribution and
handling if desired.
The E-Revo includes
an extra set of battery
retainer tabs that
can be used in the
Alternate Rear Position
front of the battery
6-cell Battery Orientation
compartment to move
the batteries toward the rear of the truck.
When using the battery retainer tabs in the front of the battery
compartment, use two 3x10 countersunk cap screws to retain each
battery retainer tab. Do not use the battery retainer tabs in the
front of the battery compartments when using LiPo batteries that
are not in a hard plastic case.
The battery compartments can also be reconfigured to accept
many sizes of LiPo batteries. If you are using batteries that are very
thick, the spring clip may need to be removed from the battery
compartment.
Spring Clip Removal
1. Pull down on the inside
of the clip.
2. Push the clip in toward
the center of the model
to release.
Spring Clip Installation
1. Insert the two tabs on
the spring clip into the
rectangular tab slots in
the chassis.
2. Rotate the spring
clip upward.
3. Snap the tabs into place.
Many LiPo batteries do not use a hard plastic case. If using LiPo
batteries that do not have a hard case, always be sure to use the
foam rubber cushion in the front of the battery compartment.
Do not use the battery retainer tabs in the front of the battery
compartments when using LiPo batteries that are not in a hard
plastic case. A hard front impact or crash when driving can damage
the LiPo batteries.

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 ESC. 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.
