hole on the top of the transmitter. Give the antenna a mild tug
to make sure that it is properly secured in the transmitter.

transmitter. Install eight (8) “AA” batteries into the transmitter
in the configuration molded into the plastic on the battery
holder. Reinstall the battery door.

8. Warning: Always extend the transmitter antenna
before operating your vehicle. Turn on the transmitter using
the switch on the side. The red light on the side of the
transmitter should light up. If there is no light on, turn the
transmitter off and check to ensure that the batteries are
making contact with the metal contacts in the battery holder.
Make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Turn the
transmitter on and check for the red light. If the red light
appears, turn off the transmitter. If the red light blinks, the
batteries are low and should be replaced.

9. Raise the body posts to the upright position. Notice
there is a molded pin that fits into a hole in the shock tower.
This is to keep the body posts from swiveling during
running. Tighten the screws in the body posts, making sure
that the posts pull tight against the shock towers. You will
have to remove the screws in the tops of the front shocks to
get to the front body mount screws.

10. Apply the decals to the body.
❏
11. Remove the body clips from the parts bag. On the
front body posts place a body clip in the bottom hole of each
post. On the rear body posts place a body clip in the third
hole from the bottom in each post. Place the body onto the
body mounts. On each body post place a body clip to secure
the body onto the chassis. The excess body post can be
trimmed off if desired.
You are ready to go! Watch the DVD for information
