The Traxxas High-Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the Traxxas High-
Current Connector. Standard connectors restrict
current ow 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 ow
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.
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 bottom
of the antenna tube until the white tip
of the antenna is at the top of the tube
under the black cap.
2. Insert the antenna tube into the mount
while making sure that the antenna
wire is in the slot in the antenna
mount. 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.
3. Install the set screw next to the
antenna tube. Use the supplied
1.5mm wrench to tighten the screw
just until the antenna tube is securely
in place. Do not overtighten.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
To prevent loss of radio range,
do not kink or cut the black wire,
do not bend or cut the metal tip,
and do not bend or cut the white
wire at the end of the metal tip.

Make certain the model’s
receiver antenna is properly
installed before operating
your model. Failure to
properly install the receiver
antenna will result in greatly
reduced radio range and
potential loss of control.
