TOOLS, SUPPLIES, AND REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
Your model comes with a set of specialty metric tools. You’ll need to purchase other items, available from your hobby dealer, to operate
and maintain your model.
Recommended Equipment
These items are not required
for the operation of your
model, but are a good idea to
include in any R/C toolbox:
• Safety glasses
• Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire
Glue, part #6468 (CA glue)
• Hobby knife
• Side cutters and/or needle
nose pliers
• Phillips screwdriver
• Soldering iron
For more information on
batteries, see Use the Right
Batteries on page 13.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BODY
Your Rustler 4X4* 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.
