SUMMIT
When rechargeable batteries
begin to lose their charge,
they will fade much faster
than alkaline dry cells. Stop
immediately at the first sign
of weak batteries. Never turn
the transmitter off when the
battery pack is plugged
in. The model could run out
of control.

Retainer Tabs
We recommend using this combination for all batteries. Make sure to
adjust the battery retainer tab to keep your battery pack snug against
the foam rubber cushion. This does not need to be very tight. It only
needs to prevent the battery from moving excessively during 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 Summit 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 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.
