This model is not intended
for use by children under
14 years of age without the
supervision of a responsible
and knowledgeable adult.
Previous experience with
radio controlled models
is recommended. Models
require a higher level of
setup, maintenance, or
support equipment.
For Expert Drivers
4 • E-REVO BRUSHLESS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Only use approved chargers for NiMH battery packs (such as the
Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus Charger, part #2933). Do not exceed the maximum
charge rate of 4 amps.
• Do not short-circuit the battery pack. This may cause burns and severe
damage to the battery pack.
• Do not burn or puncture the batteries. Toxic materials could be released.
If eye or skin contact occurs, flush with water.
• Store the battery pack in a dry location, away from heat sources and
direct sunlight.
• Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Recycling Your Traxxas Power Cell NiMH Battery
Traxxas strongly encourages you to recycle your Power Cell battery when
it has reached the end of its useful life.
Do not throw your battery in
the trash.
All Power Cell battery packs display the RBRC (Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation) icon, indicating they are recyclable. To
find a recycling center near you, ask your local hobby dealer or visit www.
call2recycle.org.
LiPo Batteries
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are popular for use in R/C models due to
their compact size, high energy density, and high-current output; however,
these types of batteries require special care and handling procedures for
long life and safe operation.
WARNING:
for advanced users that are educated on the risks associated with LiPo
battery use.
Traxxas does not recommend that anyone under the age
of 14 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision of a
knowledgeable and responsible adult.
Your model is able to use LiPo batteries with nominal voltage not to
exceed 7.4 volts (2S packs) for each battery (4S total). LiPo batteries have a
minimum safe discharge voltage threshold that should not be exceeded.
The electronic speed control is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage
Detection that alerts the driver when LiPo batteries have reached their
minimum voltage (discharge) threshold.
stop immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged
below its safe minimum threshold.
Low-Voltage Detection on the speed control is just one part of a
comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use.
to follow all other instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer
and the charger manufacturer for proper charging, use, and storage of
LiPo batteries. Do not attempt to charge LiPo batteries with the Traxxas
charger included in this package. Make sure you understand how to use
your LiPo batteries.
Be aware that Traxxas shall not be liable for any special,
indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of the installation
and/or use of LiPo batteries in Traxxas models. If you have questions about
LiPo battery usage, please consult with your local hobby dealer or contact
the battery manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should be recycled at
the end of their useful life.
