This manual is for four different B 3 k its a n d will help you
assemble and set up each one. Read the manual before
starting your kit and before contacting us for help.

Associated, I need some help." "Did you read the manual?"

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 w ill

have parts re maining at the e n d of a bag. Thes e w ill
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 th e y w ill b e e as ie r to fin d .

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS

We are constantly updating 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.

TRIM SHOCK WASHERS &
SPACERS
For best shock performance, trim
each part from the parts tree so no
part of the two molding runners
remain. It is safer to re move a tiny
amount of the part than to risk the
chance of a burr remaining.

Short
blade scissors or a hobby knife will
work fine, as shown at right. Run your
finger over the edges to feel for burrs
you cannot see. Remove the ones
you find. Burrs can keep the parts
from snapping in correctly, and can
cause the shock to leak or the shaft
to jam.

SHOCK SEAL PARTS

Install the #5407 and #6440
parts shown onto the #6429
tool tip.
Add 3-4 drops of #5428 oil to
the inside of the shock body,
and to the shock seal parts.
Insert the tool tip into th e
shock body all the way. Push

easily

until the parts snap into
place.
Check the tool height in
photo. The right shock shows
just before snapping parts in
place, the left shows after.

If your shocks do not snap
together easily, check the
parts for burrs again.

FILLING THE SHOCKS

Holding the shocks upright, fill
with oil to the top of the shock
body.
Slowly move the shaft up and
down several times to allow air
bubbles to escape to the top.
Refill with oil to the top o f th e
shock body.
Push the shaft in until the piston
is level with top of shock body.
The oil will slightly bulge up above
the shock body.
Install the #6428 shock cap and
tighten. There should be no gap
between the cap and the hex
portion of the shock body when
tight.

SETTING THE REBOUND

Move the shock shaft in and out
a few times an then push it all the
way in. It should be easy to push
the shaft in until the eyelet hits the
body.

B A G F

HOW TO
TIGHTEN
THE CAP

ON YOUR

SHOCK

Then the shaft should push itself out
approximately 1/4" to 3/8" (6.3mm -

9.5mm").
If the shocks do not push out this far,
there is not enough oil in them. Add just a
little oil and try steps 6-7 again.
If the shocks push out farther than the
distance in step seven, or you cannot push
the shaft in until the eyelet hits the body,
there is too much oil. Loosen the cap a half
turn (with the shaft extended) and pump out
a small amount of oil by pushing the shaft
in. Retighten the cap and try steps 6-7
again.

INSTALL THE MOTOR

Attach three capacitors to your motor according to the
instructions that came with your motor, if they are not on
already. For the

Sport kit,

positive tab on the motor and the black wire to a negative tab.
For the

Basic, Team & Factory Team kits,

your own motor, then follow this step.
Install the #6681 gear with the #6951 set screw going to the
flat side of the shaft. For the
you must buy your own pinion gear. If you use an electonic
speed control, see its directions for installing motor
capacitors.
Use two #6515 screws and two #6936 washers to mount the
motor as shown so the gears mesh.

SET THE GEAR MESH

You should be able to rock the spur gear back and forth in the
teeth of the pinion gear without making the pinion gear move.
If the plastic gear is tight, then loosen the #6515 screws and
move the motor away, then try again. A gear mesh that is too
tight or too loose will reduce power and damage the gear
