LED Lighting Module Installation (Fig. 1) (#8898 Kit only):

1.  Install the LED lighting 

module (A) on the left 

chassis floor pan. Secure 

with the 2.5x15mm cap 

screws (2).

2.  Remove the screws from the 

receiver box cover and wire 

clamp; remove the cover and 

clamp (B).

3.  Remove the two 3x10mm 

countersunk cap screws 

from the battery tray (C).

4.  Lift up the battery tray and 

route the red wire (male 

connector) from the LED 

lighting module to the right 

side of the chassis, between 

the two T-Lock servos, 

and through the hole in 

the receiver box. Plug the 

connector into channel 1 of 

the receiver (D). 

Note:

 The 

connector can be plugged 

into any non-telemetry 

channel on the TQi receiver. 

5.  Apply an additional bead of 

silicone grease (Traxxas part 

#1647, sold separately) to 

the wire clamp. The grease will improve sealing. Reinstall the clamp and screws. 

6.  Make sure the o-ring is properly seated into the groove in the receiver box so that 

the cover will not pinch it or damage it in any way.

7.  Install the cover and screws. Inspect the cover to make sure the o-ring seal is not 

visible.

8.  Reinstall the screws in the battery tray.
9.  Connect the black wire (red female connector) from the LED lighting module to 

the red wire (male connector) exiting the XL-5 HV electronic speed control.

LED Headlight Installation (Fig. 11)

1.  Remove the 2.6x8mm button-head cap screws (E) (8) to remove the front grille 

mount (F) and the front grille (G) from the body (see Assembly Diagram, Fig. 11).  

Remove the 1.6x5mm button-head screws (H) (2) from each headlight lens (I) and 

remove the assemblies from the front grille mount. Retain and reuse the plastic 

headlight lens, reflectors, reflector lens, and all hardware.

2.  Install the circuit boards (J) 

onto the grille mount. Route 

the harness connecting the 

two circuit boards through 

the wire retainers on the front 

of the mount. Route the wire 

loops and power wires in the 

small slot and over the top of 

the mount as shown (Fig. 2).

3.  Install the reflector lens and chrome reflectors 

(2 each) onto the circuit boards (Fig. 3). 

Note:

 

The reflectors/lens must be installed correctly 

to sit flat against the circuit boards. Align the 

keying features (pegs on the chrome reflectors 

and clear lens) with holes in the circuit boards 

and the grille mount. 

4.  Install the headlight lens over the chrome 

reflectors and onto the circuit boards  

(Fig. 4). 

Note: 

There are notches on the sides of 

the plastic headlight lens for clearance of the 

wires from the circuit boards.

5.  Secure the headlight lens to the grille mount 

with the 1.6x5mm button-head screws (4) 

removed during disassembly. 

6.  Reinstall the front grille mount and front grille 

on the body using the 2.6x8mm button-head 

cap screws (8) removed during disassembly.

7.  Snap the LED turn signal lights into the 

receptacles on the vehicle hood.

8.  Snap the LED side marker lights into the 

receptacles near each front side door.

Note: 

 Bend the wire leads carefully to assist with 

wire routing and for better fitment against the 

vehicle body (Fig. 5).

LED Tail Light Installation (Fig. 11)

Note: 

 The tail light harness (K) has long wires for 

ease of installation. Install the side of the harness 

with the connector on the left side (driver side) of 

the vehicle body. 

1.  Snap the tail light LEDs into the tail light receptacles. Bend the wire leads to lie flat 

against the body and away from the inner fenders (Fig. 6).

2.  Use the included zip ties to secure the wiring to the body in the locations 

provided. If necessary, coil and secure any excess wire. 

LED Roof Visor Light Installation (Fig. 11)

1.  Remove the 2.6x6mm button-head cap screws (L) (3) from the roof visor retainer 

(M). Remove the roof visor (N) and the retainer from the body (see Assembly 

Diagram, Fig. 11).

2.  Remove the 3x4mm set screws (O) (4) from the roof visor and remove the visor lens 

(P) (2). 

Note orientation of the lens!
