INSTALLING THE BODY
Your Ford F-150 Raptor includes an innovative latching system for
securing the body to the chassis (body clips are not required).
To remove the body for chassis access:
1. Reach beneath the truck body and pull the latches toward the
outside of the truck body to release them from the front and rear
body mounts.
2. Push up on the latches to fully disengage them from the mounts.
3. Lift the body straight up from the chassis. Lift the front and rear of
the body evenly or it may become difficult to remove.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
To reinstall the body:
1. Position the body on the chassis. Align the front and rear of the
body with the bumpers.
2. Press down on the body at each latch location until the latches
snap into place.
Note: To keep the clipless system functioning properly, periodically
inspect and clean the latches in the body and the slots on the
front and rear body mounts. If dirt and grime accumulate on these
components, the clipless system will not operate smoothly.
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna and antenna tube
must be properly installed before operating
your model. Follow these steps to install the
antenna and antenna tube:
1. Slide the antenna wire into the antenna
tube to its full extent. When fully inserted,
the wire should reach to approximately 1/2
inch below the tube cap. Do not leave any
slack in the antenna wire.
2. Insert the base of the antenna tube into the
antenna post. Take care not to crimp the
antenna wire.
3. Slide the crimp nut over the antenna tube
and screw it onto the antenna post.
4. Use the supplied tool to tighten the crimp
nut on the post just until the antenna tube
is securely in place. Do not overtighten
or crush the antenna wire against the
chassis. Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! Do not shorten the antenna tube.
See the sidebar for more information.
To prevent loss of radio range,
do not kink or cut the black wire,
do not bend or cut the metal tip,
and do not bend or cut the white
wire at the end of the metal tip.
