How to Start a Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3

To take the fuss and guesswork out of nitro-powered radio-controlled (RC) vehicles, Traxxas equips ready-to-run models with its patented EZ-Start system. The system is intended to make it easy for beginners to get experience the joy of nitro RC vehicles without the frustrating and tedious process of starting up the vehicle. Learning how to properly use your T-Maxx's EZ-Start system will ensure that you get your truck up and running.

Things You'll Need

7.2 volt battery pack
T-Maxx
RC nitro fuel
EZ-Start System

Instructions

- 1
  Apply pressure to the tab on the end of the EZ-Start battery compartment to open the door. Insert a fully charged 7.2-volt battery pack and connect it to the EZ-Start. Close the battery compartment cover. Press it down until it snaps shut.

  Remove the body clips, then slide the body shell off the mounts, revealing the interior of the vehicle. Pry back the hatch on the vehicle's tank, then fill it with approved racing fuel. Locate the 4-prong receptacle positioned at the center of your T-Maxx's chassis. Connect the EZ-Start to this connector.

  Press the red button on the EZ-Start to engage the device. Ensure that the two indicator LEDs illuminate green, which indicates that both the EZ-Start motor and battery are functioning properly. The engine should start up immediately. If one of the lights illuminates red, recharge the battery, since the EZ-Start requires a fully charged battery to function properly.
