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.
