INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Your TQi 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 ashes red, the transmitter batteries may be weak,
discharged, or possibly installed incorrectly. Replace with new
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 31 for more information on the transmitter status
LED codes.
SELECTING BATTERIES FOR YOUR MODEL
Your model does not include batteries or a charger. Two identical

the top speed is 40+mph; 6s LiPo performance will be much slower.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD!
Users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries must read
the Warnings and Precautions beginning on page 4.
You MUST use a LiPo balance charger for LiPo batteries or
battery damage with the potential for fire will result.
DO NOT use NiMH batteries
with the VXL-8s electronic
speed control. The batteries
will become extremely hot a
nd damage or injury could occur.

Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter uses AA
batteries. Use new alkaline
batteries (part #2914). Do not
use rechargeable AA batteries
to power the TQi transmitter,
as they will not provide
su cient voltage for optimum
transmitter performance.
Caution: Discontinue running
your model at the rst sign of
weak batteries ( ashing red
light on the transmitter) to
avoid losing control.
If the status LED doesn't light
green, check the polarity of
the batteries. If you see any
other ashing signal from the
LED, refer to the chart on page
31 to identify the code.
