Front and Rear Disassembly/ Plastic Half Shaft Removal
Front disassembly and differential removal:
1. Using a 7.0mm wheel wrench,
remove all four wheels from the
axles.
2. Disconnect the front body mount
by removing the 3x6mm button
head screw and the two 3x10mm
button head screws (A1).
3. Remove the front shocks from
the chassis by removing the two
2.5x18mm cap head screws from
the upper shock mount and the two 2.5x10mm cap
head screws from the rocker arms (A2).
4. Next, remove the two 3x10mm button-head screws
located underneath the two front shocks (A3).
5. Flip the chassis over to disconnect the steering servo
link by removing the ball screw
from the bellcrank (A4). The entire
front end assembly can now be
removed from the chassis.
6. Remove the 3x10mm screw pin
from each output yoke attached
to the differential (A5), and pull
the yokes from the differential
(diff).
7. Remove the four 2.5x8mm cap
head screws and the 2.5x12mm
countersunk screw from the
front skid plate (A6). Remove the
2.5x6mm cap head screw from
the front bulkhead brace (A7);
then, pull the brace and the skid
plate from the front end.
8. Separate the front bulkhead halves to access the differential and pinion gear.
Remove the diff and the pinion gear from the bulkhead (A8).
9. Remove the wheel hex adapters from the front axles using the tip of a small
flat-blade screwdriver; then, slide the drive pin out of the axle (A9). Next, slide
the plastic half shaft assembly out of the hub carrier (A10). Note: The wheel
bearings should stay inside of the hub carrier.
Rear disassembly/differential removal:
10. Remove the 3x8mm button head screw
and the two 3x10mm button head
screws from the rear body mount (B1).
Loosen the two 2.5x14mm (1/16 Slash) or
2.5x12mm (1/16 E-Revo) cap head screws
from the rear bumper (B2), and pull the
rear bumper assembly away from the
chassis.
11. Remove the rear shocks from the chassis
by removing the two 2.5x18mm cap
head screws from the upper shock
mount and the two 2.5x10mm cap head
screws from the rocker arms (B3).
12. Next, remove the two 3x10mm
button head screws located
underneath the two rear shocks
(B4), and then flip the chassis
over to remove the center skid
plate from the chassis.
13. Remove the four 3x8mm button head screws, two
3x10 button head screws, and the two 3x15mm
button head screws from the center skid plate (B5).
Remove the center skid plate from the chassis; then,
slide the entire rear assembly away from the rear of
the chassis (B6).
14. Remove the 3x10mm
screw pin from each
output yoke attached to
the diff (B7); then, pull the
yokes from the diff.
15. Remove the four 2.5x8mm
screws from the rear skid
plate (B8), and pull the rear skid plate and the rear
bulkhead brace off of the rear assembly (B9).
16. Separate the rear bulkhead halves to access the diff
and pinion gear. Remove the diff and the pinion gear
from the bulkhead (B10).
17. Remove the wheel hex adapters from the rear axles
using the tip of a small flat-blade
screwdriver and slide the drive pin
out of the axle (B11). Next, slide the
plastic half shaft assembly out of the
hub carrier (B12).
Differential Disassembly and Differential Cup Installation
18. Remove the three 2x14mm
button head screws from the
diff case (C1); then, separate
the diff covers from the ring
gear (C2).
19. Remove the output shafts
from each diff cover (C3). Next,
remove the output gear, drive pin,
and O-ring from each output shaft
(C4). Note: The stock output shafts
will not be reused.
20. Locate the steel diff cups
(included) and insert one into each diff cover; then, slide
an O-ring onto each diff cup shaft, as shown (C5).
21. Insert a drive pin into each diff cup shaft (C6) followed
by the output gears (C7). The gears should key onto the
drive pins.
22. Install the diff cover that goes
to the ring gear side of the diff,
making sure the three diff screw
holes are aligned and the O-ring is
properly seated. Next, make sure
the spider gears are located in
their proper positions inside of the
housing, and fill the diff housing
with the desired diff fluid.
23. Place the other diff cover onto the diff assembly,
making sure the three diff screw holes are aligned
and the O-ring is seated correctly. Secure the diff
assembly with the three 2x14mm button head
screws (C8).
Front and Rear Assembly/ Metal Driveshaft Installation
Rear assembly:
24. Locate the two metal driveshaft assemblies,
and slide the axles through the inside of each
of the rear hub carriers, as shown. Make sure
to seat the axles into the ball bearings. Install
the drive pins and the wheel hexes onto the
axles to keep them in position (D1).
25. Position the rear pinion gear assembly into
the right-side bulkhead half (D2). Install the assembled differential (D3) into
the bulkhead half. Insert the driveshaft into the diff cup (D4).

26. Slide the left-side bulkhead half onto the diff
while inserting the left driveshaft into the diff
cup and connect the two bulkhead halves
together (D5).
27. Install the rear bulkhead brace onto the rear
suspension pins and connect it to the rear
bulkhead. Install the rear skid plate onto the
rear end assembly, and secure it with the
four 2.5x8mm cap head screws (D6).
28. Slide the rear end assembly onto the
chassis in the same manner it was removed
(D7). Make sure to connect the two center
driveshaft halves together before securing
the rear end to the chassis (D8). Secure the
rear end to the chassis with the same two
3x10mm button head screws (D9). Note:
The center skid plate will not be attached to
the chassis until after the front end assembly is
attached to the chassis.
29. Place the rear upper shock
mount onto the chassis (D10).
Secure the shocks to the shock
mount and the rocker arms
with the same 2.5x18mm and
2.5x10mm cap head screws
(D11).
30. Secure the body mount
to the chassis with
the 3x8mm and two
3x10mm button head
screws (D12). Attach the
rear bumper and body
mount assembly to the
chassis. Make sure to
insert the two 2.5x14mm (1/16 Slash) or 2.5x12mm (1/16 E-Revo) cap head
screws through the rear toe link before securing them to the bulkhead (D13).
Front and Final Assembly:
31. Locate the two metal driveshaft
assemblies, and slide the axles
through the inside of each of
the front hub carriers. Make sure
to seat the axles into the ball
bearings. Install the drive pins and
the wheel hexes onto the axles to
keep them in position (E1).
32. Position the front pinion gear assembly into the left-side bulkhead half
(E2). Install the assembled differential into the bulkhead half (E3). Insert the
driveshaft into the diff cup (E4).
33. Slide the right-side bulkhead half onto the diff. Insert the right driveshaft into
the diff cup and connect the two bulkhead halves together (E5). Note: When
joining the two front bulkhead halves together, make sure to connect (key in) the
steering bellcrank mount between the two halves (E6).
34. Install the front bulkhead brace onto
the front suspension pins and connect it
to the front bulkhead. Secure the brace
with the 2.5x6mm cap head screw. Next,
install the front skid plate onto the front
end assembly, and secure it with the
four 2.5x8mm cap head screws and the
2.5x12mm countersunk screw (E7).
35. Before joining the front end assembly
to the chassis, remove the front center
driveshaft from the transmission.
Remove the screw pin and pull the
shaft and yoke off of the output shaft
(E8). Join the removed shaft half with
the shaft half connected to the front
differential. Make sure that the drive
shaft halves are keyed in correctly (E9).
36. Slide the front end assembly onto the chassis in the same
manner it was removed. Make sure to reconnect the front
center driveshaft to the front
output shaft of the transmission.
Secure it with the same screw
pin (E10). Next, secure the front
end to the chassis with the same
two 3x10mm button head screws
(E11).
37. Place the front upper shock
mount onto the chassis (E12), and secure the shocks to
the shock mount and the rocker arms with the same
2.5x18mm and 2.5x10mm cap head screws (E13).
38. Attach the front bumper and body mount assembly to
the chassis. Secure the body mount to the chassis with
the 3x6mm and two 3x10mm
button head screws (E14).
39. Attach the center skid plate onto
the chassis and secure it with
the same screws: (4) 3x8mm, (2)
3x10mm, and (2) 3x15mm button
head screws. Note: The front edge
of the center skid plate must slide
underneath the front skid plate
(E15). Tip: Loosen (or remove) the
steering bellcrank screw to allow
the front skid plate to flex for
easier installation.
40. Finally, install the wheels onto the
axles.
Appendix:
Metal driveshaft disassembly:
• Remove the drive pin from the drive cup; then,
pull the axle from the cup.
• Remove the O-ring from the drive cup to access
the large drive pin. Press the large drive pin out of
the drive cup; then, pull the driveshaft out of the
drive cup. The round cross pin should fall out of
the driveshaft.
