Repair and Maintenance
BATTERY REMOVAL
Step one:
Use a Phillips screwdriver (provided in the tool kit) and remove
the screw at the bottom of the large round tube (position 21. First pic
below). Get a flat head screwdriver or anything that is flat and pry the front
of the cover up near the area of the screw hole as shown below, pulling it
up towards you.
CAUTION: The switch is connected to the cover; pull with care. Unplug the
switch. Do not pry the side or rear of the cover (see pic below), you could
break the locking tabs off.
Step two:
After you have removed the cover, take some pictures.
Carefully pull out the wires of the controllers and only unplug the three
pin throttle wires (org, green, blk), 2 pin power switch (pink and black), 2
pin Brake switch (blue, black), yellow XR60 connector for battery. Do
not disconnect the large black round plug or the wires that are zip tied
together. Pull out the controllers and let it hang off to the side (pic below).
If you accidentally unplug the large round black connector, make sure you
line up the arrows when you plug it back in together.
