INSTALLING THE BODY
Your Bigfoot No. 1 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.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
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
Place the battery pack into the battery
compartment of the model and then
place the battery hold-down over the
posts. Secure the battery hold-down
with body clips in the holes in the
posts. Do not connect the battery
pack yet.
The Traxxas High-Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the Traxxas High-
Current Connector. Standard connectors restrict
current ow and are not capable of delivering
the power needed to maximize the output
of the XL-5. The Traxxas connector's gold-plated terminals with large
contact surfaces ensure positive current ow 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.
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 molded post on the chassis.
Take care not to crimp the antenna
wire. Do not bend or kink the antenna
wire! Do not shorten the antenna
tube. See the side bar for more
information.
