If the transmitter status LED
doesn’t light green, check the
polarity of the batteries. If you
see any other flashing signal
from the status LED, refer to
the chart on page 40 to identify
the code.

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
LED) to avoid losing control.

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 model’s battery pack is
plugged in. The model could
run out of control.

INSTALLING RECEIVER BATTERIES

The radio receiver in your model uses 4 AA
batteries. The battery holder for the receiver
batteries is located underneath the battery
cover. The battery cover can be identified by the
on/off switch.
1. Access the battery compartment by removing

the 4x12mm and 4x20mm buttonhead cap
screws from the chassis. Swing the nerf
bar out just far enough to clear the battery
compartment cover.

2. Remove the battery holder and install 4 AA

alkaline or rechargeable batteries. Make careful note of the battery
polarity by comparing against the diagrams in the battery holder.

3. Insert the battery holder into the battery compartment.
4. Reinstall the battery compartment cover and secure with the screws.

To prevent losing control of your model, it is important to
stop at the first sign of weak receiver batteries to avoid losing
control. Visible warning signals include sluggish steering
response and shortened radio range.

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 batteries.
The power indicator light does not indicate the
charge level of the battery pack installed in the model. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section on page 40 for more information on the
transmitter’s status LED codes.

Optional Accessory: Rechargeable Receiver Battery

The Slayer Pro 4X4 can be upgraded with the RX
Power Pack NiMH rechargeable receiver battery
(part #3036). This battery eliminates the 4-cell
battery holder and the need to replace alkaline
batteries. Traxxas recommends the EZ-Peak Plus
Charger (part #2933) for recharging the battery.
