Thank you for purchasing this Team Associated product. This assembly manual contains instructions and tips for building and
maintaining your new Kit. Please take a moment to read through this manual to help familiarize yourself with these steps.
We are continually changing and improving our designs; therefore, actual parts may appear slightly different than in the
illustrations. New parts will be noted on supplementary sheets located in the appropriate parts bags.
Check each bag for these sheets before you start to build.

• New rear wing mount has adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, an aerodynamic shape,
and extra clearance for shock position adjustment

increased strength in various areas to reduce bending fatigue, and dimples on the backside as a template for cutout holes
• New rear chassis brace has several design features and flex options
• New rear hub features a symmetrical left and right common design with axle height inserts for adjustable roll center tuning.
