REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BODY
Your Hoss 4X4 VXL includes an innovative latching system for securing the
body to the chassis. To remove the body for chassis access:
1. Turn the handle 90 degrees counterclockwise to unlock the body
latch.
2. Open the latch to release the truck body from the rear shock tower.
3. Slide the body backward away from the front shock tower to release the
front body tab. Note: The body latch must clear the rear shock tower.
4. Gently lift the body straight up from the chassis. Lift the front and rear
of the body evenly or it may become difficult to remove. (Installation
of the body is the reverse of removal.)
5. Practice this a few times until you become familiar with the latching
mechanism. The more you do it, the faster you will be.
