When rechargeable batteries
begin to lose their charge,
they will fade much faster
than alkaline dry cells. Stop
immediately at the first sign
of weak batteries. Never turn
the transmitter off when the
battery packs are plugged
in. The model could run out
of control.

adjustment needed to
keep the 6-cell battery packs snug against the foam rubber cushions.
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
front of the battery 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

screws to retain each

battery retainer tab.
6-cell Battery Orientation
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 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
Battery Wire Slot
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
Retainer Tabs
output of the ESC. The Traxxas connector's
gold-plated terminals with a 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.
