If the status LED doesn’t light
green, check the polarity of
the batteries. If you see any
other flashing signal from the

Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter uses
AA batteries. Use new
alkaline batteries. Do
not use rechargeable AA
cells to power the TQi
transmitter, as they will not
provide sufficient voltage
for optimum transmitter
performance.
Caution: Discontinue running
your model at the first sign of
weak batteries (flashing red
light) to avoid losing control.

SELECTING A CHARGER AND BATTERIES FOR
YOUR MODEL
Your model does not include a battery or charger. The speed control in
the model is compatible with both LiPo and NiMH batteries. One NiMH
or 2s LiPo battery equipped with a Traxxas High Current connector is
required. Traxxas Power Cell iD batteries are strongly recommended for
maximum performance and safer charging. The following chart lists all
the available Power Cell batteries for your model:
Make certain you choose the correct type of charger for the batteries
you select. Traxxas recommends you choose a genuine Traxxas
EZ-Peak iD charger for safer charging and maximum battery life and
performance.
INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Your TQi 2.4GHz transmitter uses 4 AA batteries. The battery
compartment is located in the base of the transmitter.
1. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing the tab
and sliding the door open.
2. Install the batteries in the correct orientation as indicated in
the battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery compartment door and snap it closed.
4. Turn on the transmitter and check the status LED for a solid
green light.
If the status LED flashes red, the transmitter
batteries may be weak, discharged, or
possibly installed incorrectly. Replace
with new or freshly charged batteries. The
status LED does not indicate the charge
level of the battery pack installed in the model. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section on page 29 for more information on
the transmitter status LED codes.
