Pro Scale® Advanced Lighting Control System Installation Instructions - TRX-4® Sport Covers Part #8085X The Traxxas Pro Scale® Advanced Lighting Control System for your TRX-4® Sport consists of two major electronic components: the Pro Scale Lighting Power Module and the Pro Scale Lighting Distribution Block. 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. The Lighting Power Module installs on the chassis and performs as the voltage regulator and power supply for the lighting system. It also controls various lighting functions through the two buttons on the face of the module and communicates with the receiver in the model via the communication cable or the optional included MAXX® Link cable. The Lighting Distribution Block mounts in the body of the vehicle and is the distribution hub for all the various wired lights in your Sport body. Its main function is to direct power and instructions to the brake lights, reverse lights, turn signals, and high/low beam lighting. There is only one rugged breakaway wiring connector between the Lighting Distribution Block and the Lighting Power Module for reliable lighting performance, plus it makes it easy to remove the body for vehicle service. The connector is designed to break away from the vehicle, without damage, if the body comes off the vehicle in a crash. There are lighting channels on the Lighting Power Module which allow the lighting installed on the chassis to be permanently connected and integrated into the system. This is helpful to install features such as rock lights, bumper lights, and other chassis-mounted accessory lighting. LIGHTING DISTRIBUTION BLOCK Accessory Connectors (not used with this kit) Wiring connectors for the lights are labeled with letters and/or colors. CAUTION: RISK OF DAMAGE TO BATTERIES! Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when not in use to prevent the possibility of over-discharge and battery damage.

Install the included templates on the body. Align the arrows with the body lines on the front grille and the tailgate as shown in Fig. 12 and 13. Tapered Body Reamer Diameter Measurements 2. Using a tapered body reamer, carefully cut the holes in the truck body for the screw bosses on the front grille retainer and the tailgate panel (note the hole diameters indicated on the templates and the corresponding diameter measurements on the body reamer). 3. Using a hobby knife, carefully cut out the holes in the truck body for the headlight housing and the tail light lens. Tip: If you have a rotary tool (such as Dremel®), then use a small routing bit to cut out the openings. Start by using the tapered reamer to make a small hole inside the area to be removed. Insert the routing bit into the hole, and then follow the cut out lines. CAUTION: Wear your eye protection when using the motorized tool! Use a hobby knife or a small file to carefully trim the corners square. When using a hobby knife, score the body material several times with the knife blade, and then snap it over to break and release. This will provide the cleanest cuts. Do not try to cut all the way through the body material in one pass or "saw" it with the knife blade. 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. Fig. 12 Fig. 13 F. INSTALL LED LIGHTS Note: While installing the LED lights, install the included zip tie mounts and use zip ties to secure the wiring to the body in the locations provided (refer to the Lighting Assembly Diagram below and the Body Wiring Diagram on page 6 for more detail).
