INSTALLING THE BODY
Your Slash 4X4 VXL 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.
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.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
The Traxxas iD High-Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the Traxxas
iD High-Current Connector. Standard
connectors restrict current flow and are
not capable of delivering the power
needed to maximize the output of the
VXL-3s. The Traxxas connector's gold-plated terminals, with large
contact surfaces, ensure positive current flow with the least amount of
resistance. Secure, long-lasting, and easy to grip, the Traxxas connector
is engineered to extract all the power your battery has to give.
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.
