INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

WARNING:

 Do not pinch the battery wires or connector.

Install the battery pack with the battery wires facing the rear of the 
model. Swing the battery hold down towards the chassis and snap 
(lock) the end into the front hold-down retainer. 

Note:

 The battery hold down can be rotated on its pivot to 

accommodate different height battery packs.

CONNECTING THE 

LED LIGHTS

Before installing the vehicle body, 
plug the black wire from the 
distribution block into the LED 
lighting module to power the LED 
lights. The lights will turn on when 
the speed control is turned on.

INSTALLING THE BODY

To secure the vehicle body to the frame to prevent body shake, align the 
body with the rock sliders as shown below. 

The Traxxas High-Current Connector

Your model is equipped with the Traxxas 

High-Current Connector. Standard connectors 
restrict current flow and are not capable of 
delivering the power needed to maximize the 
output of the XL-5 HV. The Traxxas connector’s gold-plated terminals 
with large contact surfaces ensure positive current flow with the 
least amount of resistance. Secure, long-lasting, and easy to grip, the 
Traxxas connector is engineered to extract all the power your battery 
has to give.

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA

The receiver antenna has been 
set up and installed from the 
factory. The antenna is secured 
by a 3x4mm set screw. To 
remove the antenna tube, 
simply remove the set screw 
with the included 1.5mm 
wrench. 
When reinstalling the antenna, 
first slide the antenna wire into 
the bottom of the antenna 
tube until the white tip of the 
antenna is at the top of the 
tube under the black cap. Next, 
insert the antenna tube into the 
mount while making sure that 
the antenna wire is in the slot in the antenna mount; then, install the 
set screw next to the antenna tube. Use the supplied 1.5mm wrench 
to tighten the screw just until the antenna tube is securely in place. 
Do not over tighten.

 Do not bend or kink the antenna wire! See the 

side bar for more information. Do not shorten the antenna tube.
