2.0 Starter Box

LOSA99059

Installing the Battery

You have two battery options to power your

8IGHT

2.0 starter box. You can use (2) 7.2 NiMH

battery packs (not included) or you can use

one Losi

®

14.8V 4S LiPo Starter Box Battery (not

included). Preassembled wiring harnesses and

mounting fixtures for both of these power source

options are included. Start by moving the rear

chassis fixture to the forward (buggy) position

and remove the two small Phillips head screws

on the top of the box as shown in Figure 1.

Two 7.2V Battery Packs

It is recommended to use 2 Losi 3600mAh 7.2V

NiMH Performance batteries (LOSB9900) in the

8IGHT 2.0 Starter Box. By using the charger of

your choice follow the manufacturers’ directions

to charge both batteries. On each side of the

box there are two screws that hold the center

battery mount into place. Remove these two

screws on each side of the starter box for a

total of four screws. This will loosen the center

battery mount. The 6-cell stick packs will locate

into the plastic mounts on the rear of the

battery box with a snug fit. Slide wires through

center battery mount and fit center battery

mount over each battery. Now screw all four

screws back into place to secure the batteries.

There are two locations to mount the 6-cell

battery packs, a high and low location. There

is no advantage to either location and it is

personal preference.

High Location Battery Mount

With the batteries mounted in the high location

it will be necessary to plug the batteries into the

leads on the bottom side of the starter box as

shown in Figure 4.

Low Location Battery Mount

In order to use this location you will have to use

the plastic plate that is shown in Figure 5. This

is used between the bottom of the starter box

and the battery packs as seen in Figure 6. The

plate will snap over the center battery mount to

secure its location.
