INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
Install the battery pack with the battery
wires facing the rear of the model.
Insert the tabs of the battery hold-down
into the slots in the rear hold-down
retainer (A). Swing the battery hold
down towards the chassis and snap
(lock) the end into the front hold-down
retainer (B).
Using a Different Battery Configurati
on
The battery hold-down is capable of
accommodating either side-by-side
racing style packs or the more common
stick packs. The battery compartment
is configured for stick packs from the
factory. The number on each side of the
hold-down indicates the battery height
in millimeters that the hold-down can
accommodate. Note that one side is
labeled “25” and the other side is labeled “23”. The 25mm side is for
use with typical stick type battery packs. If you are using side-by-side
racing packs, simply flip the hold-down over to the 23mm side and
use it on the opposite side of the chassis.
Note
: For taller batteries,
an extended battery hold-down, part #7426X, is available (sold
separately). For shorter batteries (6-cell), use the included foam block
in the front of the battery compartment.
