To speed up the repair process, please follow the instructions
listed below.
1. Under most circumstances return the
ENTIRE
system: truck
and radio. The exception would be sending in a Stress-Tech
part. See the instructions under the Stress-Tech Guarantee.
2. Make sure the transmitter is turned off, all batteries are
removed, and fuel is drained from the tank.
3. Send written instructions which include: a list of all items
returned, a
THOROUGH
explanation of the problem and
the service needed, and your phone number during the
day. If you expect the repair to be covered under
warranty, be sure to include a proof of date of purchase
(your store receipt or purchase invoice).
4. Also be sure to include your full return address.
All pictures, descriptions, and specifications found in this

Do not use too much force when tightening self-tapping
screws into plastic. Overtightening will cause the threads in
the plastic to strip. We recommend that you stop turning a
self-tapping screw when you feel some resistance as the
head of the screw comes in contact with the plastic. Avoid
using powered screwdrivers when assembling this kit. They
tend to overtighten the screws. Do not use thread locking
compound on any self-tapping screws. The thread locking
compound may damage the plastic.
IMPORTANT:
Use
thread lock on any fastener that is threaded into metal or
fastened with a nut. Vibration from the engine will cause the
screws to loosen if thread locking compound is not used.
The illustration above shows how to identify the types of
screws used throughout this instruction manual.
