Using a Different Battery Configuration
The battery hold-down can be flipped to accommodate different
height battery packs. Note: For taller batteries, an extended battery
hold-down, part #5827X, is available (sold separately). For shorter
batteries (6-cell), use the included foam block in the front of the battery
compartment.
The Traxxas iD® High-Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the Traxxas iD®
High-Current Connector. Standard connectors
restrict current flow and are not capable of
delivering the power needed to maximize the
output of the electronic speed control. 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.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
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
antenna post. Take care not to crimp the
antenna wire.
3. Slide the crimp nut over the antenna tube
and screw it onto the antenna post.
4. Use the supplied tool to tighten the crimp
nut on the post just until the antenna tube
is securely in place. Do not overtighten
or crush the antenna wire against the
chassis. Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! Do not shorten the antenna tube.
