Install the differential and driveshafts

16. Insert both axles through the 

bearings located in the stub 

axle carriers one at a time (Q), 

and place the differential back 

into the transmission (see “R” 

for correct orientation).

17. Attach the differential cover to the back of the transmission. Make 

sure that the suspension pins are in the blue rear toe plate, and 

secure the cover with two 3x15 countersunk machine screws 

(S1) and two 3x10 button-head machine screws (S2). Secure the 

battery cover to the battery holder with four 2.5x10 cap-head 

machine screws (S3).

18. Attach the rear shocks to the suspension 

arms with two 3x18 button-head machine 

screws and to the shock tower with two 

3x15 button-head machine screws (T).

19. Insert the axle pins into the holes in the 

axles, and slide the hex hubs onto the 

axles (U). Attach the wheels on the hex 

hubs. Make sure the hex hubs are keyed 

into the wheels and secure the wheels 

with two 4.0mm nylon locknuts.

Steel CV driveshaft maintenance

The driveshafts are lubed and sealed at the factory and are built to 

last. While the maintenance intervals are much larger with the sealed 

shaft joints, it is still important to provide regular maintenance to 

ensure long life. Follow the steps below for proper maintenance:

After every gallon of fuel*:

1.  Pull the dust boots toward the middle of the shaft to inspect and 

clean the inner and outer shaft joints. Clean the joints and dust 

boots with denatured alcohol.

2.  Inspect the drive cups, driveshafts, and dust boots for wear.
3.  Lube the driveshaft joints with Traxxas thrust bearing lube (Part 

#2717).

4.  Push the dust boots back over the joints. Make sure the boots fit 

snug around the joint.

* If running in sandy or dusty conditions, perform these steps after every half gallon.
