Installing Receiver Batteries
The radio receiver in your T-Maxx 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. Remove the battery cover by removing the two 3x10mm
roundhead self-tapping screws from the cover.
2. Remove the battery holder and install 4 AA alkaline 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 cover.
4. Reinstall the battery cover and secure with the screws
(see sidebar!).

Direct the battery
wires through the
slot in the battery
cover.
If the wires are not
properly routed,they may
become broken or shorted,
causing radio system
failure and loss of control.
If you use rechargeable
batteries in your receiver,
be aware that when they
begin to lose their charge,
they lose power much more
quickly than regular
alkaline batteries. Signs of
weak receiver batteries
include sluggish steering
response and shortened
radio range.
Caution:
Discontinue running your
T-Maxx at the first sign of
weak batteries to avoid
losing control.
If the radio system
doesn’t appear to
work when the
transmitter and receiver
switches are turned on,
check for correct battery
installation.
