Installing the Battery Pack
Place the battery pack into the battery compartment of the model
and then place the battery hold-down over the posts. Secure the
battery hold-down with body clips in the holes in the posts. Do not
connect the battery pack yet.
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 Velineon Brushless Power system.
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.

Using Other Batteries
Your model is equipped with a state of the art, high-performance
power system. It is designed to be able to flow large amounts
power with least amount of restriction. The benefits are drastically
increased speed and acceleration; however, this places extra
demands on the battery and electrical system connections. For best
performance, your model requires the use of NiMH battery packs
that have cells rated for high discharge and use high-quality, low-
resistance assembly techniques, such as the included Traxxas Power
Cell Battery Pack. Cheaply made battery packs do not retain their
performance characteristics after repeated uses in high-powered
electric applications. They will lose their punch and run time and
may require frequent replacement. In addition, poor-quality,
high-resistance cell connectors could fail, requiring disassembly
and repair. The main goal is to reduce all sources of high
resistance in the pack. This includes the connector, the
wire, and the bars attaching the cells together. High
pack resistance will create additional heat and
rob you of the full power the cells are capable
of producing. We recommend using Traxxas
Power Cell batteries for best performance.
