READ THE MANUAL!

This manual is for four different B3 kits and will help you 
assemble and set up each one. Read the manual before 
starting your kit and before contacting us for help. 

"Hello, 

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 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.

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.

MANUAL FORMAT

     The following explains the format of these instructions.

     The beginning of each section indicates:
1
 Which bag to open ("BAG A") and which steps you'll be using 
those parts for  ("FOR STEPS 1-3").
2
 Which 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.
3 Which tools you should have handy for that section.
4 An asterix ( * ) next to a part number indicates the part used in 
the Factory Team B3 kit. (You can use those numbers to 
upgrade your B3 kits to Factory Team specs.)
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.
6 When we refer to left and right sides of the buggy, we are 
referring to the driver's point of view inside the car.

8

Asterix ( * ) denotes Factory Team part number.
Use this number if you have the Factory Team kit.
