INSTALLING BATTERY PACKS
The E-Revo requires two fully charged NiMH battery packs. These
batteries are included with the model.
Using Different Battery Configurations
The battery compartments in the E-Revo are adjustable to
accommodate a large variety of battery packs. From the factory, the
battery compartments are configured to accept the included 7-cell
NiMH stick packs.
The E-Revo battery compartments have three key features for
keeping your batteries secure:
1. A foam rubber cushion
2. A spring clip. This is removable for use with taller batteries.
3. A battery retainer tab. This is adjustable to fit a variety of battery sizes.
Foam Spring
Cushion Clip
We recommend using this combination for all NiMH batteries. Make
sure to adjust the battery retainer tab to keep your battery pack snug
against the foam rubber cushion. This does not need to be very
tight. It only needs to prevent the battery from moving excessively
during use.
Battery Installation
1. Open the battery
compartment door
by pressing on the
release tabs.
2. Install the battery
pack with the battery wires facing the rear of the model.
3. Make sure the battery is snug in the compartment. If not, remove
battery and make
adjustment to the
battery retaining tab.
4. Route the battery
wire through the slot
near the vent.

5. Close the battery door, making sure not to pinch the battery wires.
Be sure both release tabs are fully engaged with the door. Do not
connect the battery packs to the EVX-2 at this time. Note: always
unplug the batteries and remove from the model after use.
6-cell battery packs:
Swap the battery
retainer tabs from the
left and right battery
compartments. This
will provide additional
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

Tab
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 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.
