The 1/4x3/8 un-flanged bearing goes on the outside of the diff hub. Now place
one of the notched diff rings onto the axle making sure that the pin aligns in the
notch. Now slide spur gear onto axle. Next slide diff hub with diff ring onto axle
and down against spur gear making sure that both pins stay aligned in the diff
rings. Slide diff cone over outer end of axle with the small end toward the
bearing. Secure with the 8-32 nylon lock-nut and tighten the nut so that there is
a small amount of drag on spur gear. You can adjust the tightness of the nut to
suit different track conditions (Fig. 11).
We are now ready to place the axle assembly into the
rear pod. (Bag F) Place the .025 axle shim onto the
axle and slide axle assembly through the rear axle
bearings in the rear pod. Make sure the axle slides
through freely. Now slide the left side blue axle
spacer and left side clamping hub onto the axle and
adjust end play to a very slight amount. Tighten the
clamping hub to complete the installation. Make sure
that the axle spins freely. If axle does not spin freely, recheck the end play
(Fig. 12).

The only thing left to install is the electronics, motor, batteries, and tires. You
are now ready to go racing. Good luck and we hope to see you in the winner’s
circle (Fig. 13).
