hard, dry surfaces. In loose dirt, a tire with large spikes should

perform better. See your parts list for accessory wheels and tires.

Adjusting the Slipper Clutch

The model is equipped with an

adjustable slipper clutch which is

built into the large spur gear. The

purpose of the slipper clutch

is to regulate the amount of

power sent to the rear wheels

to prevent tire spin. When

it slips, the slipper clutch

makes a high-pitch, whining

noise. Remove the rubber

slipper clutch plug on the transmission cover in order to adjust the

slipper. Use the 4-way wrench to turn the adjusting nut clockwise to

tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Place the model on a high-

traction surface, such as carpet. Adjust the slipper so that you can

hear it slip for approximately two feet from a standing, full throttle

start. (Learn more about adjusting the slipper clutch in the sidebar.)

Centering Your Servo

If you have removed the servo horn from your model’s steering

servo, or the servo has been removed for service or cleaning, the

servo must be re-centered prior to installation of the servo horn or

installation of the servo in the model.

1. Remove the servo horn from the steering servo.

2. Connect the steering servo to channel 1 on the receiver. Connect

the electronic speed control (ESC) to channel 2. The white wire on

the servo lead is positioned towards the receiver’s LED.

3. Turn the transmitter power switch on. Make certain the

transmitter’s batteries are not depleted.

4. Turn the transmitter’s steering trim knob to the center “0”

position.

5. Disconnect motor wires “A” and “C” (see page 13) to prevent the

motor from turning during the next steps. Connect a fresh battery

pack to the speed control and turn on the ESC (see page 17). The

servo’s output shaft will automatically jump to its center position.

6. Install the servo horn onto the servo output shaft. The servo horn

should face toward the center of the chassis and be perpendicular

to the servo body.

7. Check servo operation by turning the steering wheel back and

forth to ensure that the mechanism has been centered properly

and you have equal throw in both directions. Use the transmitter’s

steering trim knob to ﬁne-tune the position of the servo horn so

the model tracks straight when the steering wheel is at neutral.

Stampede VXL Wheelie Bar Set-up

The Traxxas wheelie bar comes standard

with the Stampede VXL. It is available as

a bolt-on accessory (Part #3678) for the

Rustler VXL and Bandit VXL. See your local

hobby dealer for more information.

Changing the position of the wheelie bar

height setting is easiest when installed on

the vehicle. To set the position, unsnap

the upper arms from the cross bars of the

lower arms. Move the upper arms to the

desired location, and then snap the arms

together.

Pos. #1: The highest angle of the wheels

(lowest position on the cross

bars). Allows the vehicle

to tip back the most for

longer wheelies.

Pos. #4: The lowest angle of the wheels

(highest position on the cross

bars). Provides the ﬂattest

launches, reducing the chance of

a wheelie.

Note: Each setting can offer different

results based on the individual ride height

and droop settings of a particular vehicle.

Try to avoid riding on the wheelie bar

wheels during normal driving (this can

happen in the lowest setting with lower

than stock ride heights).

BASIC TUNING ADJUSTMENTS

To achieve a good starting

point for the slipper clutch

in these models, tighten the

slipper clutch adjusting nut

clockwise until the slipper

clutch adjusting spring

fully collapses (do not over

tighten), and then turn the

slipper clutch nut counter-

clockwise one full turn.

Do not run your model with

the slipper clutch adjusting

spring fully compressed. The

minimum recommended

slipper clutch setting is 1/2

turn counter-clockwise from

fully compressed.
