SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This vehicle requires LiPo batteries. 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 and require

special care and handling procedures for long life

and safe operation. 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. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.

• Your model requires the use of 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 is just one part of a

comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use. It is

critical to follow all instructions for safe and proper

charging, use, and storage of LiPo batteries. Make sure

you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. 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.

• DO NOT use a charger designed for NiMH or NiCad

batteries. The use of a NiMH or NiCad charger or charge

mode will damage the batteries. Failure to use the correct

charger may result in battery damage, ﬁre, personal injury,

and/or property damage.

• ALWAYS inspect your LiPo batteries carefully before

charging. Do not use or charge battery packs that have

been damaged in any way (bent, dented, swollen, torn

covering, or otherwise damaged).

• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS conﬁrm that the charger

settings exactly match the type (chemistry), speciﬁcation,

and conﬁguration of the battery to be charged. DO NOT

exceed the maximum manufacturer recommended

charge rate. DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable

batteries (explosion hazard), batteries that have an

internal charge circuit or a protection circuit, or batteries

that have been altered from original manufacturer

conﬁguration.

• 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.

• Charge the battery in a safe area away from ﬂammable

materials. Monitor the charging process and never

leave batteries unattended while charging. Do not

allow small children to charge or handle LiPo batteries.

• DO NOT disassemble, crush, short circuit, or expose the

batteries to ﬂame or other source of ignition.

• DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch

each other. This will cause the battery to short circuit and

create the risk of ﬁre.

• DO NOT leave the charger and battery

unattended while charging, discharging, or

anytime the charger is ON with a battery connected. If

there are any signs of a malfunction, unplug the power

source and/or stop the charging process immediately.

• ALWAYS unplug the charger from the wall outlet and

disconnect the battery when not in use.

• Never charge LiPo battery packs in series or parallel.

Charging packs in series or parallel may result in

improper charger cell recognition and an improper

charging rate that may lead to overcharging, cell

imbalance, cell damage and ﬁre.

• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging

process (temperature greater than 110°F / 43°C),

immediately disconnect the battery from the charger and

discontinue charging.

• DO NOT store or charge LiPo batteries with or around

other batteries or battery packs of any type, including

other LiPos.

• Store and transport your LiPo batteries in a cool dry

place. DO NOT store in direct sunlight. DO NOT allow the

storage temperature to exceed 140°F or 60°C such as in

the trunk of a car or the cells may be damaged and risk of

ﬁre created. ALWAYS store battery packs safely out of the

reach of children and pets.

• Keep a Class D ﬁre extinguisher nearby in case of ﬁre.

• DO NOT disassemble LiPo batteries or cells. DO NOT

disassemble the charger.

• DO NOT attempt to build your own LiPo battery pack

from loose cells.

• REMOVE the battery from your model or device before

charging.

• DO NOT expose the charger to water or moisture.

WARNING! CAUTION! DANGER!

FIRE HAZARD!

6 • X-MAXX

Important Points to Remember

• Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio

interference from many sources that are beyond your control. Since

radio interference can cause momentary losses of radio control,

always allow a safety margin in all directions around the model in

order to prevent collisions.

• Range test your radio system in the area that you will be running

the model to ensure that you have range that covers the area you

want to drive. After range testing, drive slowly in the area at ﬁrst

to make sure there is no interference that can cause momentary

lapses of control.

• Always use new or freshly charged batteries in your model to

maximize signal power output and range.

• The motors, batteries, and speed control can become hot during

use. Be careful to avoid getting burned.

• Choose the right location to drive. Your model is absolutely not

intended for use on public roads or congested areas where its

operation can conﬂict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular trafﬁc.

This is to prevent the possibility of injury or death resulting from

collision with the model by another human being or animal.

• Do not drive the X-Maxx by yourself. Bring a friend along to act as a

spotter to alert you if a person or animal is approaching.

• Do not operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight to

the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.

• Do not drive the model close to you where a mistake or loss of

control could cause the model to collide with you or any spectator.

• Always carefully inspect your model for damage or loose

components before running. Do not drive the model if it is

damaged in any way. Tighten any loose hardware. Tighten the

wheel nuts before each running session and periodically check the

tightness of the wheel nuts while you are running.

• Never pick up the model by its tires or wheels. Always keep your

hands safely clear of moving parts whenever the batteries are

plugged in.

• Keep the X-Maxx stored with the batteries removed, out of

the reach of children and protected from access by any other

unauthorized driver.

• Always disconnect the batteries in the model when it is not in use.

Never store the vehicle with batteries in the model, as this can

cause a ﬁre leading to property damage, serious personal injury or

even death.

• Do not continue to operate the model with low batteries or you

could lose control of it. Indications of low battery power include

slow operation and delayed vehicle response. Stop immediately

at the ﬁrst sign of weak batteries. When the batteries in the

transmitter become weak, the red power light will begin to ﬂash.

Stop immediately and install new batteries.

• Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.

Speed Control

Your model’s electronic speed control (ESC) is an extremely powerful

electronic device capable of delivering high current. Please closely

follow these precautions to prevent damage to the speed control or

other components.

• Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the batteries from the

speed control when not in use. This is the preferred method to

turn off the vehicle.

• Insulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink

tubing to prevent short circuits.

• Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter ﬁrst before

switching on the speed control to prevent runaways and erratic

performance.

• 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 Traxxas High-Current 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.

• No Schottky Diodes: External Schottky diodes are not compatible

with reversing speed controls. Using a Schottky diode with your

speed control will damage the ESC and void the warranty.

• Always adhere to the minimum and maximum limitations of the

speed control as stated in the speciﬁcations table in the Owner’s

Manual. Your ESC operates on two batteries. Do not mix battery

types, capacities, or charge levels; use the same voltage, capacity,

and charge level for both batteries. Using mismatched battery packs

could damage the batteries and electronic speed control.

TRAXXAS TQ

RADIO & VELINEON POWER SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

Your model includes the latest Traxxas TQi 2.4GHz transmitter with

Traxxas Link™ Model Memory. The transmitter’s easy-to-use design

provides instant driving fun for new R/C enthusiasts, and also offers

a full complement of pro-level tuning features for advanced users

– or anyone interested in experimenting with the performance of

their model. The steering and throttle channels feature adjustable

Exponential, End Points, and Sub-Trims. Steering and braking Dual-

Rate are also available. Many of the next-level features are controlled

by the Multi-Function knob, which can be programmed to control

a variety of functions. The detailed instructions (page 30) and Menu

Tree (page 33) included in this manual will help you understand and

operate the advanced functions of the new TQi radio system. For

additional information and how-to videos, visit Traxxas.com.

RADIO AND POWER SYSTEM TERMINOLOGY

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these radio and

power system terms. They will be used throughout this manual.

A detailed explanation of the advanced terminology and features

of your new radio system begins on page 30.

2.4GHz Spread Spectrum – This model is equipped with the latest

R/C technology. Unlike AM and FM systems that require frequency

crystals and are prone to frequency conflicts, the TQi system

automatically selects and locks onto an open frequency and offers

superior resistance to interference and “glitching.”

BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) - The BEC can either be in the

receiver or in the ESC. This circuit allows the receiver and servos

to be powered by the main battery pack in an electric model. This

eliminates the need to carry a separate pack of 4 AA batteries to

power the radio equipment.

Brushless Motor - A D/C brushless motor replaces the brushed motor’s

traditional commutator and brush arrangement with intelligent

electronics that energize the electromagnetic windings in sequence

to provide rotation. Opposite of a brushed motor, the brushless

motor has its windings (coils) on the perimeter of the motor can and

the magnets are mounted to the spinning rotor shaft.

Cogging - Cogging is a condition sometimes associated with

brushless motors. Typically, it is a slight stutter noticed when

accelerating from a stop. It happens for a very short period as the

signals from the electronic speed control and the motor synch

with each other. The VXL-8s electronic speed control is optimized

to virtually eliminate cogging.

Current - Current is a measure of power ﬂow through the

electronics, usually measured in amps. If you think of a wire as a

garden hose, current is a measure of how much water is ﬂowing

through the hose.

ESC (Electronic Speed Control) - An electronic speed control is the

electronic motor control inside the model. The VXL-8s electronic

speed control uses advanced circuitry to provide precise, digital

proportional throttle control. Electronic speed controls use

power more efﬁciently than mechanical speed controls so that

the batteries run longer. An electronic speed control also has

circuitry that prevents loss of steering and throttle control as the

batteries lose their charge.

Frequency band - The radio frequency used by the transmitter to

send signals to your model.

This model operates on the 2.4GHz

direct-sequence spread spectrum.

kV Rating - Brushless motors are often rated by their kV number.

The kV rating equals no-load motor rpm with 1 volt applied. The

kV increases as the number of wire turns in the motor decreases.

As the kV increases, the current draw through the electronics also

increases. The Velineon 1200XL motor is a 1200 kV motor.

LiPo - Abbreviation for Lithium Polymer. Rechargeable LiPo

battery packs are known for their special chemistry, which

allows extremely high energy density and current handling in a

compact size. These are high performance batteries that require

special care and handling. LiPo battery packs are for advanced

users only.

mAh – Abbreviation for milliamp hour, a measure of the capacity of

the battery pack. The higher the number, the longer the battery

will last between recharges.

Neutral position - The standing position that the servos seek when

the transmitter controls are at the neutral setting.

NiCad - Abbreviation for nickel-cadmium. The original

rechargeable hobby pack, NiCad batteries have very high

current

handling, high capacity, and can last up to 1000 charging cycles.

Good charging procedures are required to reduce the possibility

of developing a “memory” effect and shortened run times.

X-MAXX • 11

TRAXXAS TQ

RADIO & VELINEON POWER SYSTEM

NiMH - Abbreviation for nickel-metal hydride. Rechargeable NiMH

batteries offer high current handling and much greater resistance

to the “memory” effect. NiMH batteries generally allow higher

capacity than NiCad batteries. They can last up to 500 charge

cycles. A peak charger designed for NiMH batteries is required for

optimal performance.

Receiver - The radio unit inside your model that receives signals

from the transmitter and relays them to the servos.

Resistance - In an electrical sense, resistance is a measure of how

an object resists or obstructs the ﬂow of current through it.

When ﬂow is constricted, energy is converted to heat and is lost.

The Velineon power system is optimized to reduce electrical

resistance and the resulting power-robbing heat.

Rotor - The rotor is the main shaft of the brushless motor. In a

brushless motor, the magnets are mounted to the rotor, and the

electromagnetic windings are built into the motor housing.

Sensored - Sensored refers to a type of brushless motor that

uses an internal sensor in the motor to communicate rotor

position information back to the electronic speed control.

Sensorless - Sensorless refers to a brushless motor that uses

advanced instructions from an electronic speed control to

provide smooth operation. Additional motor sensors and

wiring are not required. The VXL-8s electronic speed control is

optimized for smooth sensorless control.

Servo - Small motor unit in your model that operates the steering

mechanism.

Transmitter - The hand-held radio unit that sends throttle and

steering instructions to your model.

Trim - The ﬁne-tuning adjustment of the neutral position of the

servos, made by adjusting the throttle and steering trim knobs

on the face of the transmitter. The Multi-Function knob Note:

must be programmed to serve as a throttle trim adjustment.

Thermal Shutdown Protection - Temperature sensing electronics

used in the VXL-8s electronic speed control detect overloading

and overheating of the transistor circuitry. If excessive

temperature is detected, the unit automatically shuts down to

prevent damage to the electronics.

2-channel radio system - The TQi radio system, consisting of

the receiver, the transmitter, and the servos. The system uses

two channels: one to operate the throttle and one to operate

the steering.

Voltage - Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential difference

between two points, such as between the positive battery terminal

and ground. Using the analogy of the garden hose, while current is

the quantity of water ﬂow in the hose, voltage corresponds to the

pressure that is forcing the water through the hose.

IMPORTANT RADIO SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

• Do not kink the receiver’s antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire

will reduce range.

• DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver’s antenna wire. Cutting the

antenna will reduce range.

• Extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible for

maximum range. It is not necessary to extend the antenna wire out

of the body, but wrapping or coiling the antenna wire should be

avoided.

• Do not allow the antenna wire to extend outside the body without

the protection of an antenna tube, or the antenna wire may get

cut or damaged, reducing range. It is recommended to keep the

wire inside the body (in the antenna tube) to prevent the chance

of damage.

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.
