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
to change the weight
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.
The battery compartments can be reconfigured to accept many sizes
of LiPo batteries. If you are using batteries that are very thick, the
spring clip may need to be removed from the battery compartment.
Spring Clip Removal
1. Pull down on the inside
of the clip.
2. Push the clip in toward
the center of the model
to release.
Spring Clip Installation
1. Insert the two tabs on
the spring clip into the
rectangular tab slots in
the chassis.
2. Rotate the spring
clip upward.
3. Snap the tabs into place.
Many LiPo batteries do not use a hard plastic case. If using LiPo
batteries that do not have a hard case, always be sure to use the
foam rubber cushion in the front of the battery compartment.
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. A hard front impact or crash when driving can damage
the LiPo batteries.
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 EVX-2. 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 the Right Charger
The most convenient type
of charger for charging the
included battery packs is an
AC peak-detecting charger
that plugs directly into an
AC wall outlet, such as the
Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus
™ (Part
#2933). It contains special
peak-detection circuitry
that automatically shuts the
charger off when the battery
is fully charged.
For faster charging, the
included battery may be
charged at 4 amps; do not
charge the battery at a
higher setting. At the 4-amp
setting, the Traxxas EZ-
Peak Plus™ will charge the
included battery in about 45
minutes!
Caution: Never use a
15-minute timed charger
to recharge your model’s
battery packs. Overcharging
may result, causing damage
to the battery packs.
