• Don’t Get Burned: The ESC and motor can become extremely hot during

use, so be careful not to touch them until they cool. Supply adequate

airﬂow for cooling.

• Use the Factory-Installed Stock Connectors: Do not change the battery and

motor connectors. Improper wiring can cause ﬁre or damage to the ESC.

Please note that modiﬁed speed controls can be subject to a rewiring fee

when returned for service.

• No Reverse Voltage: The ESC is not protected against reverse polarity

voltage.

• Do Not Let the Transistor Tabs Touch: Never allow the three separate

transistor banks to touch each other or any exposed metal. This will create a

short circuit and damage the ESC.

• No Schottky Diodes: External Schottky diodes are not compatible with

reversing speed controls. Using a Schottky diode with your Traxxas speed

control will damage the ESC and void the 30-day warranty.

• Always adhere to the minimum and maximum limitations of the speed

control as stated in the speciﬁcations table in the Owner’s Manual. If your

ESC operates on two batteries, do not mix battery types and capacities. Use

the same voltage and capacity for both batteries. Using mismatched battery

packs could damage the batteries and electronic speed control.

LiPo Batteries

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are becoming popular for use in R/C

models due to their compact size, high energy density, and high-current

output. However, these types of batteries require special care and handling

procedures for long life and safe operation. Warning: LiPo batteries are

intended only for advanced users that are educated on the risks associated

with LiPo battery use. Traxxas does not recommend that anyone under the

age of 14 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision of a

knowledgeable and responsible adult.

Your model is able to use LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries have a minimum safe

discharge voltage threshold that should not be exceeded. The electronic

speed control is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection that alerts

the driver when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage

(discharge) threshold. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop immediately to

prevent the battery pack from being discharged below its safe minimum

threshold.

Low-Voltage Detection on the speed control is just one part of a

comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use. It is critical for you, the user,

to follow all other instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer and

the charger manufacturer for proper charging, use, and storage of LiPo

batteries. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. Be

aware that Traxxas shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental,

or consequential damages arising out of the installation and/or use of

LiPo batteries in Traxxas models. If you have questions about LiPo battery

usage, please consult with your local hobby dealer or contact the battery

manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should be recycled at the end of

their useful life.

Important Warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries:

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are signiﬁcantly more volatile than

other rechargeable batteries.

ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) balance charger with a balance

adapter (Such as the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus Charger #2933 or the 2-Cell /3-

Cell LiPo Balance Charger) to charge LiPo batteries. Never use NiMH or

NiCD type chargers or charge modes to charge LiPo batteries. The use of a

WARNING! CAUTION! DANGER!

FIRE HAZARD! Charging and discharging batteries has the potential for

ﬁre, explosion, serious injury, and property damage if not performed per the

instructions. In addition, Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries pose a SEVERE risk of

ﬁre if not properly handled per the instructions. Before use, read and follow all

manufacturer’s instructions, warnings, and precautions. Never allow children under 14 years old

to charge or use LiPo batteries without the supervision of a responsible, knowledgeable adult.

• While charging or discharging, ALWAYS place the battery (all types of batteries) in a ﬁre

retardant/ﬁre proof container and on a non-ﬂammable surface such as concrete.

• ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.

• REMOVE ﬂammable items and combustible materials from the charging area.

• ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) balance charger with a balance adapter to charge LiPo

batteries.

• If any battery or cell is damaged in any way, do NOT charge, discharge, or use the battery.

• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS conﬁrm that the charger settings exactly match the battery

type (chemistry), speciﬁcation, and conﬁguration to be charged.

• Do NOT exceed the maximum manufacturer recommended charge rate.

• Do NOT disassemble, crush, short circuit, or expose the batteries to ﬂame or other source

of ignition.

• NEVER leave batteries unattended while charging.

This model is not intended

for use by children under

14 years of age without the
