INSTALLING & REMOVING THE BATTERY PACKS
The XO-1’s battery
compartments can
accommodate a variety of LiPo
battery configurations. From
the factory, the compartments
are set up for Traxxas Power
Cell 5000mAh 3S packs. The
number on each side of the
hold-down indicates the
battery height in millimeters
that the hold-down can
accommodate. Note that one
side is labeled “23mm/38mm”
and other side is labeled
“25mm/40mm”.
Always remove the batteries from the model before recharging.
Removing the Battery Packs
1. Unplug the High Current Connectors.
2. Flex the retainer away from the center of the chassis.
3. Lift up the battery hold-down, and pull it away from the chassis.
4. Repeat for the opposite battery.
Installing the Battery Packs
1. Insert the battery into the tray with the High Current Connector
positioned towards the rear of the car.
2. Insert the hold-down into the lower set of holes in the center
support. If you are installing Traxxas Power Cell 5000mAh 3S
batteries, the hold-downs should be oriented so the side labeled
“25mm/40mm” is facing up.
3. Align the hold-down over the retainer and press down until it
snaps into place.
4. Repeat for the opposite battery.
5. When you are ready to drive, connect the High Current
Connectors to the speed control.
Adjusting The Battery Compartment Length
The XO-1’s battery compartments
are configured for batteries that are
155mm long. The compartments’
rear battery cup can be moved
forward 20mm to accommodate
135mm battery packs. To configure
the compartments for 135mm packs,
remove the 3x10mm countersunk
screws, and reinstall the battery cup
using these screws in the rear set of
holes in the battery cup.
The Traxxas High Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the patented
Traxxas High-Current Connector. Standard
connectors restrict current flow and
are not capable of delivering the power
needed to maximize the output of brushless
power systems.
The Traxxas connector’s gold-plated terminals with a 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.
