The Battery Strap (28) can be mounted in one of two ways to
accommodate different styles of batteries. If you will be running
matched-type cells (individual cells laid out side-by-side) the TL
logo should be facing up as shown in Figure 74 "B". If, however, you
are using a pre-assembled stick pack, the TL logo should be facing
down with the small bump (in the flat face of the Battery Strap)
towards the front of the Chassis, as shown in Figure 74 "A".
q
1. Once the battery pack (not included) is installed, the plastic
Battery Strap will hold the batteries in place. The Battery Strap slides
over the two Battery Posts (68) on the right side of the Chassis (46).
The Strap is secured to the Posts with a Body Clip (124) at each end.

1. Cut a piece of Two-sided Tape (148) to the same size as the
bottom of the receiver
(not included)
. Peel one side of the backing
off and stick the Tape to the bottom of the receiver.
q
2. Make sure that the area on the Chassis (46), between the motor
and the servo, is clean. Wipe this area off with a clean cloth or rag.
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.
q
3. Peel the backing off the the Two-sided Tape and install the
receiver to the left side of the Chassis, between the motor and servo,
with the antenna wire exiting the receiver towards the center of the
car as shown in Figure 75.
q
4. Run the antenna up the center rib, of the Chassis, through the
small hole in the Antenna Mount (66). Press the Antenna Mount into
the hole in the top of the center rib in the Chassis. Slide the antenna
wire through the Antenna Tube (120) so that the wire comes out the
other end of the Tube.
q
5. While pulling the wire through the Antenna Tube, slide the
Antenna Tube down and push it firmly into the Antenna Mount on
the Main Chassis.
q
6. Fold the wire down over the Antenna Tube and place the
Antenna Cap (72) over the Tube and excess wire as shown in Figure
75.
q
7. Run the receiver wire from your speed controller in the channel
along the side of the Chassis. Hold the wire in place by first placing
a #4 Washer (151) over two 4-40 x 1/4 Button Head Screws (138) and
threading them into the Chassis.
Becareful not to pinch the wire or
overtighten the Screws.
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. DO NOT cut off any excess antenna wire.
Doing so may cause you car to "glitch".
