Rustler and Bandit
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
Stampede
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:
1. Slide the antenna wire into the antenna tube to its full extent.
When fully inserted, the wire should reach to approximately
1/2 inch below the tube cap. Do not leave any slack in the
antenna wire.
2. Insert the base of the antenna tube into the molded post on the
chassis. Take care not to crimp the antenna wire. Do not bend or
kink the antenna wire! Do not shorten the antenna tube. See the
side bar for more information.
