WARNING!

Do not use a power screwdriver to install screws into

nylon, plastic, or composite materials. The fast rotation speed

can heat up the screws being installed. They can then break or

strip the threads during installation.

SUSPENSION ARM

Assemble parts #8405, 8415,

and 8411.

ATTACH UPPER ARM MOUNT TO LOWER ARM

Attach #8407 0° mount to the #8419 lower suspension

arm using two #8409 screws.

WARNING! Screws are

difficult to screw in. Turn carefully so you do not strip

out the head.

INSTALLING UPPER AND LOWER PIVOT BALLS

Before popping in the #8417 pivot balls, make sure

there are no burrs inside the pivot ball holes.

Pop the #8417 pivot balls into the suspension arms as

shown. Make sure that the shoulders of the pivot balls

in the lower suspension arms are facing upward and

the pivot balls in the upper arm are facing downward

as shown. Orient ball to the rounded side of the upper

arm as shown.

Now assemble the right side.

BEFOREBUILDING

OPEN THE BAGS IN ORDER

The assembly is arranged so that you will open and finish that

bag before you go on to the next bag. Sometimes you will

have parts remaining at the end of a bag. These will

become part of the next bag. Some bags may have a large

amount of small parts. To make it easier to find the parts, we

recommend using a partitioned paper plate for spreading out

the parts so they will be easier to find.

MANUAL FORMAT

The following explains the format of these instructions.

The beginning of each section indicates:

1Which bag to open ("BAG A").

2Which parts you will use for those steps. Remove only the

parts shown. "1:1" indicates an actual size drawing; place

your part on top and compare it so it does not get confused

with a similar part.

3Which tools you should have handy for that section.

4In some drawings, the word "REAR" with an arrow indicates

which direction is the rear of the car to help keep you oriented.

5 The instructions in each step are ordered in the order you

complete them, so read the words AND follow the pictures. The

numbers in circles are also in the drawing to help you locate

them faster.

6When we refer to left and right sides of the car, we are

referring to the driver's point of view inside the car.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS

We are constantly developing new parts to improve our kits.

These changes, if any, will be noted in supplementary sheets

located in a parts bag or inside the kit box. Check the kit box

before you start and each bag as it is opened. When a

supplement is found, attach it to the appropriate section of the

manual.

Now clear off your workbench, line up some paper plates,

grab your 50-cent soda, 39-cent cheeseburger, $12.99 music

CD, and let's begin!

NOTE: The bottom of the chassis

has the screw holes countersunk.

FILE THE CHASSIS

Use your file to bevel the slots on the top of the chassis so

the edges won't cut through the battery cell wrap.

WARNING!

Graphite dust can be harmful to your

health. File in a well ventilated area. Then wash the

chassis with running water and dry with paper towels.

Wash your hands afterward with cold water and soap.

Deposit graphite filings in trash.

TAPE THE CHASSIS

Insulate the battery slots by wrapping the slots with

electrical tape.

FINAL DIFF ASSEMBLY

Hold the #4551 axle upright and apply a small amount of

#6636 grease onto the aluminum hub of the axle, and slide

the #6579 diff ring over the axle and against the hub.

Slide the #4460 spur gear over the axle and center it on

the hub.

Apply a small amount of #6636 grease to the second

#6579 diff ring as shown. Slide it over the axle, greased

side towards the gear. This will keep the diff ring in place

while assembling.

Insert a #897 flanged bearing into the outside end of the

#4553 wheel hub. Add a little #6636 grease to the smaller

end, then slide the #4553 wheel hub over the axle.

Install the #4555 cone so that the smaller end is facing the

bearing. Place the #4459 Belleville washer over the axle

so that the smaller end faces away from the cone, and

secure with a #4185 locknut. We will adjust the diff after

we put the wheels on.

check the axle for side to side end play. Use

the #4554 shims to take up any excess end

play, if needed.

When you have finished setting the axle end

play, install the #4185 locknut to secure the

left wheel hub.

Remove the small and large #4473 washers from

the parts tree. Remove any flash from the washers.

Slide the VC housing with foam onto the shaft,

housing first (so foam is still seen through the body

opening).

Slide on the following in this order: smaller

washer, red O-ring, larger washer, then the

star-shaped clip.

Remove the assembly tool and screw on the #6274 ball cup

where shown.

Screw the #4473 spring adjusting nut onto the shock

body threads, flange first, as shown.

To remove the parts from inside the shock, first loosen the

#6951 set screw of the #4474 shock shaft end (see step 7

DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT

While holding rear wheels with your hands, use your right

thumb and index finger to try and rotate the spur gear. The

spur gear should be very difficult to rotate. If you can rotate it

easily, then tighten the #4185 11/32" nut at the end of the axle,

a little at a time, until the spur gear is difficult to rotate.
