Quick Start Instructions

• Refer to supplied Castle Creations Mamba Monster instruction manual

for full operation details.

• Read and follow all operating instructions prior to running the model.

• The information on this addendum and in the Castle Creations Mamba

Monster instructions supersedes the information in the Traxxas E-Maxx

Owner’s Manual.

Your E-Maxx Brushless edition truck has been pre-programmed and

“bound” to the transmitter at the factory. Follow these instructions to

switch your model on:

1. Install the batteries in the transmitter as described in the E-Maxx

Owner’s Manual on page 11.

2. Install the batteries in the E-Maxx as described in the E-Maxx Owner’s

Manual on page 12.

3. Make certain the throttle trim

knob and throttle neutral

switch are set as shown (right).

4. Switch the transmitter on.

5. Switch the speed control on.

You will hear a short sequence of tones as ALL the LEDs blink.

The sequence will then repeat twice more, then the YELLOW LED

will remain illuminated.

6. With the E-Maxx’s wheels off the ground, conrm correct operation

of the throttle and steering system. Your E-Maxx is ready to drive.

ATTENTION! LiPo Battery Users

The E-Maxx Brushless Edition is programmed at the factory for use with LiPo

batteries. Your model will run properly with NiMH batteries. To obtain the

maximum performance from the included batteries refer to the Mamba

Monster manual included with your model for instructions on de-activating

the LiPo voltage cut off. If LiPo batteries are used be sure to reset the Mamba

Monster to the correct LiPo cutoff voltage for your batteries. Failure to

properly reset the Cutoff Voltage may lead to damage or failure of your LiPo

batteries. Never use LiPo batteries while Low-Voltage Detection is enabled.

• Make Sure The Axle Nuts Are Tight Before Each Run

Before operating your E-Maxx Brushless Edition,

take a moment to make sure the axle nuts are tight,

as they may have loosened during shipping. The

correct size axle-nut wrench is supplied with the

truck. Check the tightness of the axle nuts before

each run. The E-Maxx’s high speed and torque can

loosen the nuts over time if left unchecked.

• Range-Testing the TQ2.4GHz Radio System

Before each running session with your model, you should range test your

radio system to ensure that it operates properly.

1. Turn on the radio system and check its operation as described on page

15 of the E-Maxx manual.

2. Have a friend hold the model securely by the wing and front bumper.

Make sure hands and clothing are clear of the wheels and other

moving parts on the model.

3. Walk away from the model with the transmitter until you reach the

farthest distance you plan to operate the model.

4. Operate the controls on the transmitter once again to be sure that the

model responds correctly.

5. Do not attempt to operate the model if there is any problem with the radio

system or any external interference with your radio signal at your location.

• Higher Speeds Require Greater Distance

The faster you drive your E-Maxx, the more quickly it will near the

limit of radio range. At 60mph, the truck will cover 88 feet every

second! It’s a thrill, but use caution to keep your model in range. If you

want to see your E-Maxx Brushless Edition achieve its maximum speed,

it is best to position yourself in the middle of the truck’s running area,

not the far end, so you drive the truck towards and past your position. In

addition to maximizing the radio’s range, this technique will keep your

model closer to you, making it easier to see and control.

No matter how fast you drive your E-Maxx, always leave adequate

space between you, the model, and others. Never drive directly

toward yourself or others.

• Slipper Clutch Break-In

The E-Maxx Brushless Edition’s slipper clutch requires a break-in

procedure to ensure consistent operation with the extremely high power

output of the included Castle Creations Mamba Monster brushless motor

system. The slipper clutch has been adjusted to the correct initial setting

for break-in. Follow these steps to ensure maximum performance and life

from your slipper clutch:

1. Make your rst runs with the model using the stock gearing and 6- or

7-cell NiMH packs, or 2S LiPo packs.

2. Drive normally. The slipper clutch should slip momentarily when

accelerating aggressively on high-traction surfaces (you will hear a

whirring sound when the slipper clutch allows the spur gear to slip).

3. If excessive slippage is noticed (slipping that lasts for more than 3

seconds under hard acceleration), or the slipper clutch slips anytime

the throttle is applied at any lever, stop driving immediately. Let the

slipper clutch cool for 10-15 minutes. When the clutch is cool, test-

drive the vehicle again. If you still experience excessive slippage, allow

the slipper to cool once more, then tighten the slipper nut turn (turn ¼

the nut clockwise) and repeat the break-in process. Do not adjust the

slipper clutch before it has cooled.

4. Continue to run the vehicle and monitor slipper clutch performance as

noted above, and readjust if necessary. When the run is complete, the

slipper should be fully broken in.

After break-in, the slipper clutch is ready for any type of driving, with any

batteries up to 6S Lipo. Set the slipper clutch so it only slips for a moment

(if at all) under hard acceleration in high-traction conditions. If excessive

slippage is noticed, stop driving immediately. Continuing to drive with

a loose slipper will cause damage to the slipper unit. You must let the

slipper cool down to ambient temperature before tightening the slipper

nut and resuming driving.

TQ 2.4 Transmitter Binding Instructions

For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be electronically

‘bound.’ Should you ever need This has been done for you at the factory.

to re-bind the system, follow these instructions:

1. Install batteries in the E-Maxx and plug them into the speed control.

2. Press and hold the transmitter’s SET button as you switch transmitter

on. The SET LED will ash.

3. Press and hold the receiver’s SET button as you switch receiver on.

The SET LED will ash.

4. When both LEDs stop ashing (this will take just a moment or two),

the system is bound and ready for use. Conrm that the steering and

throttle operate properly before driving the model.

TQ 2.4 Transmitter Fail-Safe Operation

When bound to the transmitter, the 2.4GHz Micro Receiver automatically

sets its fail-safe position to throttle neutral. This means the receiver will

automatically return the throttle setting to neutral in the event of signal

loss due to interference, low battery power, or accidentally switching the

STOP!

transmitter off while driving. When powered on, the receiver’s green LED

will glow to indicate Fail Safe mode is active. If the LED glows red, the Fail

Safe mode has been deactivated. Use these steps to reactivate the Fail

Safe system:

1. Switch the transmitter and receiver on.

2. Press and hold the receiver’s SET button. The LED will ash once, then turn

off. Continue to hold the SET button. After about three seconds, the LED

will ash on and off. It will continue ashing as long as you hold the SET

button.

3. Release the SET button. The LED will now light green and glow

steadily, indicating Fail Safe mode is active.

Should you ever wish to deactivate the Fail Safe mode (for example, when

using a speed control that has its own Fail Safe circuitry), simply repeat the

steps above.

Setting the TQ 2.4 Transmitter Throttle Endpoints

The Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz radio system is pre-set at the factory and is ready

for use. If you wish to reprogram the receiver to make certain the throttle

endpoints are correctly set, follow the steps below.

1. Switch the transmitter and receiver on.

2. Press and hold the receiver’s SET button until the LED blinks red

once then switches off. Release the SET button.

3. Pull the throttle trigger to the full-throttle position and hold until the

receiver’s LED blinks red twice.

4. Push the trigger to full brake and hold until the red LED blinks twice.

5. Return the trigger to neutral. The LED will blink three times then remain

on (the LED will shine green if Fail Safe is active, or red if Fail Safe is

disabled).

Note: although the vehicle will not respond to throttle commands during

this procedure, as a precaution it is recommended that the speed control

be unplugged from the receiver during programming.

Speed Control Programming Instructions

The Castle Creations Mamba Max speed control should not need

reprogramming with normal use. However, if you install a different

radio system in your model, or change the transmitter’s throttle-

neutral setting from 50/50 to 70/30, you will need to reprogram the

speed control. Follow these instructions to reprogram the speed

control:

1. Install the batteries of your choice in the battery compartments and

plug the batteries into the speed control.

2. Switch on your transmitter.

3. Hold full throttle while you switch on the Mamba Monster controller.

After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones and the

RED LED will light.

4. Hold full brake. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones

and the YELLOW LED will light.

5. Release the trigger to the neutral position. After a few seconds,

you will hear multiple tones and ALL THE LEDs will light.

6. Wait a few more seconds for the speed control to ‘arm,’ indicated by

a double-tone. You are now ready to drive.

Disconnect Batteries After Use

Always disconnect the batteries from the speed control when

you are nished using your vehicle. The switch on the speed control

only shuts off power to the receiver and servos. The speed control

continues to draw power as long as it is plugged in and may over-

discharge your batteries if they are left connected to the speed control.
