GETTING STARTED

INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

Your transmitter uses 4 AA batteries. The battery 
compartment is located in the base of the transmitter.
1. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing the 

tab and sliding the door open.

2. Install the batteries in the correct orientation, as 

indicated in the battery compartment.

3. Reinstall the battery compartment door and snap it 

closed.

4. Turn on the transmitter and check the status LED for a 

solid green light.

If the status LED flashes red, the transmitter batteries may 
be weak, discharged, or possibly installed incorrectly. 
Replace with new or freshly charged batteries. The status 
LED does not indicate the charge level of the battery 
pack installed in the model. Refer to the Troubleshooting 
section on page 13 for more information on the transmitter 
status LED codes.

If the status LED doesn’t light green on the 
transmitter, check the polarity of the batteries. 

Check rechargeable batteries for a full charge. If you see 
any other flashing signal from the LED, refer to the chart 
on page 13 to identify the code.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The LED on the charger 
will glow green. Plug the battery into the charger. The LED 
will glow red, indicating the battery is charging. Charge 
time is approximately 3 1/2 hours. The LED will turn green 
when the battery is fully charged.

Use the Right Batteries

Your transmitter uses AA batteries. New Traxxas 

alkaline batteries (part #2914) are included with your 
model. You may also use rechargeable batteries, such as 
NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries, in your transmitter. 
Make sure rechargeable batteries are fully charged 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you use rechargeable batteries in your transmitter, be 
aware that when they begin to lose their charge, they lose 
power more quickly than regular alkaline batteries. 

CAUTION:

 

Discontinue running your model at the first 

sign of weak batteries (flashing red light) to avoid losing 
control.

WARNING: 

FIRE HAZARD! 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE LIPO BATTERIES 

WITH THE TRAXXAS NiMH CHARGER  

INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE. 

The included NiMH 
charger can only be 
used with Traxxas NiMH 
batteries equipped with 
the Traxxas High-Current 
Connector as shown. 

Please examine your connector to make sure that it 
is the proper connector. All batteries equipped with 
legacy Traxxas High-Current Connectors are not 
compatible with the included NiMH charger.  DO NOT 
try to force legacy Traxxas High-Current Connectors, 
or  any other type of connector, into the charger 
connector. DO NOT attempt to charge any batteries 
with the included NiMH charger if you are unsure of 
the battery type, the connector type, or if the original 
connector on the battery has been changed.

If you do not understand this warning, please contact 
Traxxas Customer Support at 1-888-TRAXXAS  
(1-888-872-9927)* or your local hobby dealer for  
more information.
