Note: Specific mounting hardware may vary. Refer to the product packaging for exact contents.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the RC4WD Rubber Door Handles on your Traxxas TRX-4:

1. Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure your Traxxas TRX-4 body is clean and free of dust or debris in the areas where the door handles will be mounted.
2. Identify Mounting Locations: Locate the designated areas on your TRX-4 body for door handle installation. These are typically molded recesses or flat surfaces on the door panels.
3. Test Fit: Carefully place each rubber door handle onto its intended mounting location to confirm fitment and orientation.
4. Secure Handles:
   • If using screws: Align the handle with the pre-drilled holes (if present) or mark new pilot holes. Carefully drill small pilot holes if necessary, then secure the handles using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
   • If using adhesive (not included, but may be an option for some users): Apply a small amount of appropriate model adhesive to the back of the handle and firmly press it onto the body. Hold in place until the adhesive sets.
5. Final Check: Once both handles are secured, gently check their stability. Ensure they are firmly attached and do not interfere with any other body components or moving parts.

5. Operating

The RC4WD Rubber Door Handles are static scale accessories. They do not have functional moving parts for opening or closing doors. Their purpose is purely for visual enhancement and realism on your Traxxas TRX-4 model.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your rubber door handles:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rubber and plastic finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the handles for any signs of loosening or damage. Re-tighten screws if necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, store your vehicle in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after installation, consider the following:

• Handles Not Fitting: Ensure you are attempting to install the handles on the correct vehicle model (Traxxas TRX-4). Verify the orientation of the handles.
• Handles Loose: If using screws, gently tighten them. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads or crack plastic. If using adhesive, ensure sufficient curing time and proper application.
• Damage During Installation: Always exercise caution. If a part is damaged, contact RC4WD support for replacement options.
