Connecting a Traxxas controller to a receiver is a crucial step in setting up your remote-controlled vehicle. This process ensures that your controller can communicate effectively with the receiver, allowing you to control your vehicle seamlessly. In this article, we will guide you through the process of linking your Traxxas controller to the receiver, step by step.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items ready:

Step 1: Install batteries in the controller and receiver
First, insert the AA batteries into the Traxxas controller and receiver. Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly, following the polarity markings on the battery compartment.
Step 2: Connect the binding plug

With the controller and receiver powered on, press and hold the bind button on the controller for a few seconds. You should hear a beep or see a light on the receiver, indicating that the binding process has started. Once the binding is complete, release the bind button.
Step 5: Test the connection
Press the throttle and steering buttons on the controller to test the connection. Your vehicle should respond to the controls, allowing you to move it in the desired direction. If the vehicle does not respond, double-check the binding process and ensure that the batteries are functioning properly.
Conclusion
Linking your Traxxas controller to the receiver is a straightforward process that ensures smooth communication between the two devices. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily set up your remote-controlled vehicle and enjoy hours of fun on the track.
