TRAXXAS RUSTLER 4X4 LED Light Kit Instruction Manual

Kit contents

3-volt accessory power supply
Electronic speed control (ESC) power tap
3x10mm button-head cap screws (2)
Roof skid plate with front and rear LED light bars
Front bumper with LED light bar
Body template
Zip ties (3)

Tools needed

2.0mm hex wrench
2.5 mm hex wrench
Tapered body reamer (part #3433 or #3433X, sold separately)
Body scissors (part #3431 or #3432, sold separately)

CAUTION: RISK OF INJURY!
Use care with hobby knives, tapered reamers, and other cutting tools as they are extremely sharp and can cause severe injury, deep cuts, and/or punctures.

CAUTION: RISK OF DAMAGE TO BATTERIES!
Do not attach the power tap to the battery connector. Attach to the electronic speed control (ESC) connector only. Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when not in use to prevent the possibility of over-discharge.

Assembly Instructions

Remove the existing roof skid plate.
Install the new roof skid plate; feed the wire harness connector through the hole in the roof.
Body modification:
Before installation of the new roof skid plate, the vehicle body will need modification. Peel the backing from the included self-adhesive cutting template. Install the template on the vehicle body, aligning the holes in the template with the front screw holes in the roof. Using a tapered body reamer, carefully cut holes in the roof to the dotted lines on the template (note the hole diameters indicated on the template and the corresponding diameter measurements on the body reamer). Use body scissors to cut out the section between the two holes as indicated.
Remove the existing front bumper.
Install the new front bumper. See step 9 for wire routing.
Install the accessory power supply on the chassis.

Important Note! Use the included power tap as the direct battery source for the accessory power supply. Do not connect to the accessory BEC power output on the ESC (if equipped). Connecting high-load accessories to the power supply while it is plugged directly into the ESC could overload the speed control’s BEC circuit. This may cause the speed control to go into thermal protection mode or could cause damage to the speed control.
CAUTION: RISK OF DAMAGE TO ACCESSORIES! Note the polarity and wire color on the pre-installed wires on the power tap. Ensure the polarity is correct during installation on the High-Current Connector: red (+) (positive), black (-) (negative).
Attach the power tap to the High-Current Connector of the electronic speed control (ESC).
Install the cover on the power tap.
Wiring Diagram
Route the wire harness from the front bumper to the accessory power supply. Use the included zip ties (3) to secure the harness. Note: Ensure the wire harness is kept away from any moving parts and heated surfaces.
Plug the black male connectors from the accessory power supply into the black female connectors from the front bumper and roof skid plate wire harnesses.
Plug the red power tap male connector into the red female connector from the accessory power supply. The accessory power supply and LED lights will turn on when a battery is connected. Always disconnect the battery when not in use.
