glow plug. Disconnect the fuel
lines from the carburetor and the
exhaust pipe.

• Remove the four 3x10CS (cap screw)
that secure the engine to the engine
mount. Remove the 4x10BCS
(button-head cap screw) that secure
the pipe hanger to the rear body
mount. Shift the engine forward to
disengage the throttle arm from the
throttle bell crank, and lift the
engine with exhaust system up
and out of the chassis.

Remove the rear bulkhead
and engine mount

• Remove the 3x10SS (shoulder screw)
that secures the throttle bell crank to
the engine mount. Leave the throttle
bell crank connected to the throttle
linkage. Remove the rear body mount
by removing the three 4x14BCS.
Remove the two 3x32CS that secure
the top of the rear shocks to the shock
mount (Leave the EZ-Start wiring
harness attached to the body mount,
and set the body mount aside).

• Flip the truck upside down and
remove the two 4x14BCS that
fasten the engine mount to the rear
bulkhead. Next, loosen (or remove)
the four 3x10CS that secure the
engine mount to the chassis plate.

• Remove the two 3x28CS that secure
the cradle between the front and
rear sections of the engine mount.
Remove the cradle first, then flex the
longskid plate tap that’s covering
the mounts up and out of the way
so you can remove the front and
back sections.

Note: The rear
bulkhead will need to be pulled back
to free up the front engine mount
section so it can be removed from
the chassis plate.

Engine mount installation

With the long skid plate tab
flexed up and out of the way,
insert the front engine
mount section through the
chassis plate and rest it in
the chassis as shown in
the picture. Key the two
transmission drive shafts
together and push the rear bulkhead and suspension
assembly through the mount. The front of each bulkhead
half must reach the edge of the mount (see photo).

• Now, insert the rear engine
mount section in through the
chassis plate (as shown) and
install the four 3x10CS.

Do not
tighten the engine mount
screws.

Snug the screws
lightly until further instruction.
Next, secure the rear engine
mount section to the rear bulkhead
with the two 4x14BCS.

• Flip the truck back on its wheels.
Insert the engine mount cradle
between the two outside sections,
and install the inner 3x28CS.
Important: The outer 3x28CS that
goes through the cradle of the Revo
engine mount requires two star
washers (included), one to be placed
on each side of the cradle between the
two outside sections (see photos)
before it is installed. Thread the 3x28CS
until they are just snug, then back off
just enough to allow the center section
to pivot up and down.

Now,tighten
the four 3x10CS that secure the
engine mount to the chassis plate.

• Install the throttle bell crank
onto the engine mount
(inside hole, see photo), and
secure it with the 3x10SS.

• Secure the rear shocks to the shock mount with the two
3x32CS and connect the rear body mount to the rear
bulkhead. Secure it with the three 4x14BCS.
