LED Lighting Module Installation (Fig. 1) (#8898 Kit only):
1. Install the LED lighting
module (A) on the left
chassis floor pan. Secure
with the 2.5x15mm cap
screws (2).
2. Remove the screws from the
receiver box cover and wire
clamp; remove the cover and
clamp (B).
3. Remove the two 3x10mm
countersunk cap screws
from the battery tray (C).
4. Lift up the battery tray and
route the red wire (male
connector) from the LED
lighting module to the right
side of the chassis, between
the two T-Lock servos,
and through the hole in
the receiver box. Plug the
connector into channel 1 of
the receiver (D). Note: The
connector can be plugged
into any non-telemetry
channel on the TQi receiver.
5. Apply an additional bead of
silicone grease (Traxxas part
#1647, sold separately) to
the wire clamp. The grease will improve sealing. Reinstall the clamp and screws.
6. Make sure the o-ring is properly seated into the groove in the receiver box so that
the cover will not pinch it or damage it in any way.
7. Install the cover and screws. Inspect the cover to make sure the o-ring seal is not
visible.
8. Reinstall the screws in the battery tray.
9. Connect the black wire (red female connector) from the LED lighting module to
the red wire (male connector) exiting the XL-5 HV electronic speed control.
LED Headlight Installation (Fig. 11)
1. Remove the 2.6x8mm button-head cap screws (E) (8) to remove the front grille
mount (F) and the front grille (G) from the body (see Assembly Diagram, Fig. 11).
Remove the 1.6x5mm button-head screws (H) (2) from each headlight lens (I) and
remove the assemblies from the front grille mount. Retain and reuse the plastic
headlight lens, reflectors, reflector lens, and all hardware.
2. Install the circuit boards (J)
onto the grille mount. Route
the harness connecting the
two circuit boards through
the wire retainers on the front
of the mount. Route the wire
loops and power wires in the
small slot and over the top of
the mount as shown (Fig. 2).
3. Install the reflector lens and chrome reflectors
(2 each) onto the circuit boards (Fig. 3). Note:
The reflectors/lens must be installed correctly
to sit flat against the circuit boards. Align the
keying features (pegs on the chrome reflectors
and clear lens) with holes in the circuit boards
and the grille mount.
4. Install the headlight lens over the chrome
reflectors and onto the circuit boards
(Fig. 4). Note: There are notches on the sides of
the plastic headlight lens for clearance of the
wires from the circuit boards.
5. Secure the headlight lens to the grille mount
with the 1.6x5mm button-head screws (4)
removed during disassembly.
6. Reinstall the front grille mount and front grille
on the body using the 2.6x8mm button-head
cap screws (8) removed during disassembly.
7. Snap the LED turn signal lights into the
receptacles on the vehicle hood.
8. Snap the LED side marker lights into the
receptacles near each front side door.
Note: Bend the wire leads carefully to assist with
wire routing and for better fitment against the
vehicle body (Fig. 5).
LED Tail Light Installation (Fig. 11)
Note: The tail light harness (K) has long wires for
ease of installation. Install the side of the harness
with the connector on the left side (driver side) of
the vehicle body.
1. Snap the tail light LEDs into the tail light receptacles. Bend the wire leads to lie flat
against the body and away from the inner fenders (Fig. 6).
2. Use the included zip ties to secure the wiring to the body in the locations
provided. If necessary, coil and secure any excess wire.
LED Roof Visor Light Installation (Fig. 11)
1. Remove the 2.6x6mm button-head cap screws (L) (3) from the roof visor retainer
(M). Remove the roof visor (N) and the retainer from the body (see Assembly
Diagram, Fig. 11).
2. Remove the 3x4mm set screws (O) (4) from the roof visor and remove the visor lens
(P) (2). Note orientation of the lens!

3. Feed the LED boards of the roof visor harness (Q)
through the hole in the front right corner (passenger
side) of the roof.
4. Install the LED boards in the visor lens; reinstall
the lens in the roof visor. Note orientation of the
lens! Secure the lens with the 3x4mm set screws (4)
removed during disassembly.
5. Route the harness connecting the two circuit boards
through the wire retainers on the roof visor (Fig. 7).
6. Reinstall the roof visor and visor retainer using the
2.6x6mm button-head cap screws removed during
disassembly.
7. Secure the wiring to the visor retainer with the
included zip ties (3) (Fig. 8).
8. Plug the included jumper (green color band) into
the port located on the small circuit board attached
to the roof visor light harness (Fig. 9). Note: The jumper will allow the LED
lights to go into full power (high beam) mode. The jumper is not required
for the LED lights to function (the lights will remain in low power (low
beam) mode if the jumper is not used).
Wire Routing (Fig. 12)
When installing the LED light harnesses, note where the installation begins
and ends in the Wiring Diagram (Fig. 12). Use zip ties to secure the wiring to
the body in the locations provided. The zip ties do not need to be tight; allow some slack for wire movement.
Distribution Block Installation (Fig. 10)
1. Install the distribution block mount (R) and secure with the included 2.6x8 mm button-head screws (2) as shown in Fig. 10.
2. Plug the connectors from the LED light wire harnesses into the ports of the distribution block (S). Match the color band on the wire harnesses with the corresponding color
of each port indicator on the distribution block (white for headlights, red for tail lights, yellow and green for roof visor lights).
3. Use the included 2.6x8mm button-head screws (2) to secure the distribution block to the mount.
