REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BODY
Your XRT Ultimate includes an innovative latching system (patent
pending) for securing the body to the chassis (body clips are not
required).
To remove the body for chassis access:
1. Reach beneath the front and rear body fenders and pull the latches
toward the outside of the truck body to release them.
2. Push up on the latches to fully disengage the latches from the body
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 on the body and the slots on the body
mounts. If dirt and grime accumulate on these components, the clipless
system will not operate smoothly..
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACKS
1. Push the battery hold-down toward the center of the truck using the
two release tabs and lift the hold-down up and toward you.
2. Insert a fully charged battery into the battery compartment with the
High Current Connector positioned toward the rear of the model.
3. Lower the battery hold-down and pull it toward the outside of the
truck to snap it closed.
4. Repeat for the opposite battery.

Note: The battery compartment will accommodate the Traxxas 6700mAh
4s battery pack (part #2890X). When using other LiPo batteries, additional
foam blocks and battery pack spacers are required for proper fitment (see
battery chart).
The Traxxas High-Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the Traxxas
High-Current Connector. Standard
connectors restrict current flow and are not
capable of delivering the power needed
to maximize the output of the VXL-8s. 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.
