Step 18. Apply the self adhesive battery insulation tape (167) to
both inner edges of the battery compartment as seen in figure 62A.
Place one of the battery spacing foams (152) into the recessed area in
the rear of the chassis (19). The foam (152) should be positioned
against the rear shock tower (55). Place the other battery spacing
foam (152) in the front of the battery compartment, against the for-
ward rib of the chassis (19).
!
Step 19. Remove the backing tape from the battery strap foam
strip (153) and attach it to the bottom side of the battery hold-down
strap (154).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The battery strap can be mounted in
one of two ways. The different offset will accommodate different
styles of battery packs. If you will be running matched-type cells, or
individual cells laid out side-by-side, the foam strip should be at-
tached to the side of the strap with ribs. The foam should be posi-
tioned between these ribs. If, however, you are using a pre-assembled
stick pack, the foam strip should be attached to the side of the strap
opposite the ribs.
!
Step 20. Once the battery pack (not included) is installed be-
tween the two battery spacing foams (152), the battery strap (154) will
hold the batteries in place. The battery strap (154) fits under the rear
"bridge" of the chassis (19), between the two ribs on the bottom, and
fits over the post on the front chassis brace (147). Secure the strap
(154) to the post with a body clip (155).

Step 21. Cut a piece of two-sided tape (156) to the same size
as the bottom of the receiver
(not included).
Peel one side of the
backing off and stick the tape (156) it to the bottom of the
receiver.
!
Step 22. Make sure that the area on the right side of the
chassis (19) is clean. Wipe this area off with a clean cloth or rag.
*NOTE: Rubbing alcohol can be used to clean any oily residue that
may be present on the chassis or receiver. Allow the alcohol to dry before
applying the two-sided tape.
!
Step 23. Peel the backing off of the two-sided tape (156) and
install the receiver to the right side of the chassis (19) with the
antenna wire exiting the receiver towards the front of the truck
as shown in Figure 63.
!
Step 24. Run the antenna wire forward to the antenna post
on the chassis (19). Run the wire into the small hole in the bot-
tom of the post, and up through the top of the post.
!
Step 25. Slide the antenna wire through the antenna tube
(157)
(a small drop of oil in the tube will make this easier)
so that the
wire comes out the other end of the tube (157).
!
Step 26. While pulling the wire through the antenna tube
(157), slide the antenna tube (157) down and push it firmly into
the antenna mounting post on the main chassis (19).
!
Step 27. Fold the wire down over the antenna tube (157) and
place the antenna cap (158) over the tube (157) and excess wire.
*NOTE: If antenna wire is shorter than the tube, remove the tube
and cut off enough of the tube so that the wire will extend about 3/4"
past the end of the tube.
