Step 18. Place one of the battery spacing foams (152) into
the recessed area in the rear of the chassis (19). The foam (152)
should be positioned against the rear shock tower (55). Place the
other battery spacing foam (152) in the front of the battery com-
partment, against the forward rib of the chassis (19).
!
Step 19. Remove the backing tape from the battery strap
foam strip (153) and attach it to the bottom side of the battery
hold-down strap (154).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The battery strap can be
mounted in one of two ways. The different offset will accommo-
date different styles of battery packs. If you will be running
matched-type cells, or individual cells laid out side-by-side, the
foam strip should be attached to the side of the strap with ribs.
The foam should be positioned between these ribs. If, however,
you are using a pre-assembled stick pack, the foam strip should
be attached to the side of the strap opposite the ribs.
!
Step 20. Once the battery pack (not included) is installed
between the two battery spacing foams (152), the battery strap
(154) will hold the batteries in place. The battery strap (154) fits
under the rear "bridge" of the chassis (19), between the two ribs
on the bottom, and fits over the post on the front chassis brace
(147). Secure the strap (154) to the post with a body clip (155).

Step 21. Cut a piece of two-sided tape (156) to the same size
as the bottom of the receiver
(not included). Peel one side of the
backing off and stick the tape (156) it to the bottom of the
receiver.
!
Step 22. Make sure that the area on the right side of the
chassis (19) is clean. Wipe this area off with a clean cloth or rag.
*NOTE: Rubbing alcohol can be used to clean any oily residue that
may be present on the chassis or receiver. Allow the alcohol to dry before
applying the two-sided tape.
!
Step 23. Peel the backing off of the two-sided tape (156) and
install the receiver to the right side of the chassis (19) with the
antenna wire exiting the receiver towards the front of the truck
as shown in Figure 63.
!
Step 24. Run the antenna wire forward to the antenna post
on the chassis (19). Run the wire into the small hole in the bot-
tom of the post, and up through the top of the post.
!
Step 25. Slide the antenna wire through the antenna tube
(157)
(a small drop of oil in the tube will make this easier) so that the
wire comes out the other end of the tube (157).
!
Step 26. While pulling the wire through the antenna tube
(157), slide the antenna tube (157) down and push it firmly into
the antenna mounting post on the main chassis (19).
!
Step 27. Fold the wire down over the antenna tube (157) and
place the antenna cap (158) over the tube (157) and excess wire.
*NOTE: If antenna wire is shorter than the tube, remove the tube
and cut off enough of the tube so that the wire will extend about 3/4"
past the end of the tube.
