The 1/16 E-Revo VXL and 1/16 Slash VXL 4WD models combine technologies proven by the 7-time National Monster Truck Champion Revo and the innovative E-Revo electric racing monster truck. Both Traxxas 1/16 models are designed for high-performance driving, with a low center of gravity, balanced weight distribution, lightweight and high-strength materials, and the precise engineering that is the hallmark of all Traxxas trucks. This manual contains the instructions you will need to operate and maintain your model so that you can enjoy it for years to come. [. . . ] Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral). The LED will first turn green and then red. Pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position and hold it there (B). Push the throttle trigger to the full reverse and hold it there (C). Green then Red 7. When the LED starts flashing GREEN, programming is complete. After the throttle is returned to neutral, the LED will then shine solid green or red (depending on the low-voltage detection setting, see note below) indicating the VXL-3m is on and at neutral (D). D Solid ESC Operation Note: In steps 1-7 below, Low Voltage Detection is turned off (factory default) and the LED shines RED. If Low Voltage Detection is on, the LED will shine GREEN instead of RED in steps 1-7 below. To operate the speed control and test the programming, place the vehicle on a stable block or stand so all of the driven wheels are off the ground. Always make sure that objects and fingers are clear of the wheels. With the transmitter on, press the EZ-Set button for ½ second, until the LED shines GREEN, then immediately release the button. If you press and release too quickly, you may hear the steering servos jump but the LED may not stay on. The LED will turn off until full throttle power is reached. At full throttle, the led will shine RED. Move the trigger forward to apply the brakes. Note that braking control is fully proportional. The LED will turn off until full braking power is reached. Move the throttle trigger forward again to engage reverse (Profile #1). Once full reverse power is reached, the LED will shine RED. To stop, return the throttle trigger to neutral. To turn the ESC off, press the EZ-Set button until the RED LED turns off. VXL-3m Thermal Shutdown Protection The VXL-3m is also equipped with thermal shutdown protection. If the operating temperature exceeds safe limits, the ESC will reduce power to 50% and the LED will flash red. [. . . ] Inspect the gears for wear, broken teeth, or debris lodged between the teeth. Check the tightness of the slipper clutch. Check the tightness of the front pivot balls. Other periodic maintenance: Slipper clutch pad (friction material): Under normal use, the friction material in the slipper clutch should wear very slowly. [. . . ]
