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 and then place the
battery hold-down over the
post. Secure the battery hold-
down with body clip in the hole
in the post. Do not connect the
battery pack yet.
Using a Different Battery Configuration
The battery hold-down is capable of accommodating either side-
by-side racing style packs, "hump packs" with a stacked seventh
cell, 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 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 #6727X, is available (sold
separately). For shorter batteries (6-cell), us the included foam
block in the front of the battery compartment.

RADIO SYSTEM RULES
• Always turn your TQi transmitter on first and off last. This
procedure will help to prevent your model from receiving stray
signals from another transmitter, or other source, and running
out of control. Your model has electronic fail-safes to prevent this
type of malfunction, but the first, best defense against a runaway
model is to always turn the transmitter on first and off last.
