User manual TRAXXAS 5610

[. . . ] We want you to feel confident that you own one of the bestperforming models in the market and that it is backed by a team of professionals who aim to provide the highest level of factory support possible. Traxxas models are about experiencing total performance and satisfaction, not just with your model, but also with the company that stands behind it. We know you’re excited about getting your new model on the road, but it’s very important that you take some time to read through the Owner’s Manual. This manual contains all the necessary setup and operating procedures that allow you to unlock the performance and potential that Traxxas engineers designed into your model. [. . . ] To turn the EVX-2 off, press the EZ-Set button until the green LED turns off. EVX-2 Wiring Diagram A Green then Red B Once Red C Twice Red 16 • Summit Adjusting the Electronic Speed Control Thermal Shutdown Protection The EVX-2 is equipped with thermal shutdown protection to guard against overheating caused by excessive current flow. If the operating temperature exceeds safe limits, the EVX-2 will automatically shut down and the EVX-2 LED will flash red. The LED on the face of the EVX2 will continuously flash red, even if the throttle trigger is moved back and forth. After the speed control cools down to a safe level, the LED will continuously shine green. EVX-2 Profile Selection The speed control is factory set to Profile #1. The speed control should be connected to the receiver and battery, and the transmitter should be adjusted as described previously. EVX-2 Profile Description Profile #1 (Sport Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse Profile #2 (Race Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse Profile #3 (Training Mode): 50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse Selecting Sport Mode (Profile #1) 1. Connect two fully charged battery A packs to the EVX-2 and turn on your transmitter. Selecting Race Mode (Profile #2) 1. Connect two fully charged battery A packs to the EVX-2 and turn on your transmitter. B 2. With the EVX-2 off, press and hold Green to Red to Off Two blinks Red the EZ-Set button until the light D turns solid green, then solid red and C then begins blinking red (indicating the Profile numbers). When the light blinks red twice, release the EZ-Set button. Release Solid Green Patent Pending Training Mode (Profile #3) reduces forward and reverse throttle by 50%. Training Mode is provided to reduce the power output allowing beginning drivers to better control the model. High performance vehicles produce small vibrations which may loosen hardware over time. Frequently check wheel nuts and other screws on your vehicle to ensure that all hardware remains properly tightened. Operating the High-Low Transmission Summit’s High-Low transmission is operated via the red rocker switch above the transmitter grip; depressing the upper part of the switch engages Low, depressing the lower part of the switch engages High. However, it is recommended to slow to a speed appropriate for Low gear (about 5mph) before shifting from High to Low. Although Summit’s 775 motor has ample torque for climbing and crawling in second gear, using first gear in situations that require low speed will extend motor life. Operating the T-Lock Differentials For most driving, the Summit will perform best with both differentials unlocked or “open” (T-Lock switch up). This will give Summit maximum steering performance and the tightest possible turning radius, and will also reduce strain on the drive components. If open differentials cause you to lose traction over loose terrain or when traversing an obstacle, you can use the T-lock switch to lock the front differential, or both differentials. To lock the front differential only, bring the truck and all four wheels to a complete stop, then move the T-Lock switch to the middle position. Apply throttle slowly until the T-Lock engages (it will take just a moment), then use the throttle as needed. To lock both differentials, come to a complete stop and move the T-Lock switch to the down position. [. . . ] To prevent unnecessary receiver battery drain it is important to make sure that the servos are “at rest” when the steering is at neutral. If one servo is out of adjustment, then both servos will work against each other, fighting to find center. Adjust both the steering links to be the exact same length (31. 7mm - use “Steering Link Length Template” to set length). Adjust the steering trim on the transmitter to the neutral “0” position.
