All instructions and

precautions outlined in this

manual should be strictly

followed to ensure safe

operation of your model.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new model. Operate your

model sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting, safe, and fun for you and

those around you. Failure to operate your model in a safe and responsible

manner may result in property damage and serious injury. The precautions

outlined in this manual should be strictly followed to help ensure safe

operation. You alone must see that the instructions are followed and the

precautions are adhered to.

Important Points to Remember

• Your model is not intended for use on public roads or congested areas where

its operation can conﬂict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular trafﬁc.

• Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in crowds of people. Your

model is very fast and could cause injury if allowed to collide with anyone.

• 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.

• The motor, battery, and speed control can become hot during use. Be careful

to avoid getting burned.

• Don’t operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight to the model

may be obstructed or impaired in any way.

• 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 battery or batteries from the

speed control when not in use.

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

prevent short circuits.

• Water and Electronics Do Not Mix: The speed control is waterproof for use

in mud, snow, puddles, and other wet conditions. Make certain the other

components of your model are waterproof or have sufﬁcient water resistance

before driving in wet conditions.

• 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 the Factory-Installed Stock 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.

• Always adhere to the minimum and maximum limitations of the speed

control as stated in the speciﬁcations table on page 17. If your ESC operates on

two batteries, do not mix battery types and capacities. Use the same voltage

and capacity for both batteries. Using mismatched battery packs could

damage the batteries and electronic speed control.

LiPo Batteries

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are becoming popular for use in R/C models

due to their compact size, high energy density, and high-current output;

however, these types of batteries require special care and handling procedures

for long life and safe operation. WARNING: 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.

Your model is able to use 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, which 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.

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 compliment 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 functions. The detailed instructions (page 32) and Menu

Tree (page 35) 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 32.

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-3s 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-3s 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 3500 motor is a 3500 kV motor optimized for the best

speed and efﬁciency in lightweight 1/10 scale models.

LiPo - Abbreviation for Lithium Polymer. Rechargeable LiPo battery

packs are known for their special chemistry that allows extremely

high energy density and current handling in a compact size. These

are high-performance batteries that require special care and

handling. 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.

Applying the Decals

The main decals for your

model have been applied at

the factory. Additional decals

are printed on self-adhesive

clear mylar and are die-cut for

easy removal. Use a hobby

knife to lift the corner of a decal

and lift it from the backing.

To apply the decals, place one

end down, hold the other end

up, and gradually smooth the

decal down with your ﬁnger

as you go. This will prevent air

bubbles. Placing both ends of

the decal down and then trying

to smooth it out will result in

air pockets. Look at the photos

on the box for typical decal

placement.

10 •SLASH 4X4 ULTIMATE

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. The VXL-3s electronic

speed control is able to use sensored motors when applications beneﬁt

from them (such as some sanctioned racing classes).

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-3s electronic speed control is optimized for

smooth sensorless control.

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

mechanism.

Solder Tabs - Accessible, external contacts on the motor that allows

for easy wire replacement. The Velineon 3500 is equipped with

solder tabs.

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. Note: The Multi-Function knob must be

programmed to serve as a throttle trim adjustment.

Thermal Shutdown Protection - Temperature sensing electronics

used in the VXL-3s 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

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.
