You will find the #7324 front bumper
in bag #7-4. Take two #6291 4-40 x 1/4" FHSScrews and two
#6295 4-40 plain nuts from the same bag. The front bumper
is recessed on one side so it will fit over the black aluminum
nose plate. The front of the bumper has two countersunk
holes where you will install the two #6291 flat head screws.
Now thread on the two #6295 4-40 plain nuts on the back side
of the nose plate and tighten them down.

2.60:1 T2
TRANSMISSION
The new T2 Tranny is our latest electric truck version
of the Assoc. Transmission and features a larger differential
which gives you a final drive ratio of 2.60:1. This transmission
also features a new low profile case design, which physically
bolts to the rear shock strut and bulkhead to add additional
structural rigidity to the rear of the chassis and drive train. The
larger diff gives you greater torque capacity and increases
time between rebuilds. The prototype version of this trans-
mission was first used at the 1994 ROAR Truck Nationals
held in Garden Grove, California. It TQ'd both stock and
modified truck classes and won the Stock truck A-main.
This lower final drive T2 Assoc. transmission will
now allow you to run hotter modified motors than before. Now
you can have that extra power that you wanted in order to
more easily defeat your competition. With this transmission
your new truck will be more reliable and easier to drive. This
all depends, of course, on how well you assemble and
maintain your transmission. So take your time and do it well.
Please note that during the assembly of the
transmission we will be using the same instructions to
sow the assembly of both the bushing and ball bearing
version kits. The only parts that will be different will be
bag B which will contain either the bushings or ball
bearings depending upon the kit you have. If you are
uncertain which kit version you have, the description on
the box end label underneath the retail price and model
number will indicate if you have ball bearings.

(1) Open the Assoc. transmission bag; inside
you will find bags marked A, B, C, D, E & F. You will also find
a gear cover bag, the motor plate and a couple of small tubes
of lube. (2) Go ahead and locate bag A, the diff assembly. (3)
From bag A you will want to remove the #7664 diff gear and
the small bag containing the twelve #6581 3/32" carbide diff
balls (these are the larger of the two ball sizes). These
carbide balls are the best available. They will outlast the diff
drive rings at least ten times (if the diff is kept clean and
lubed).
WARNING! NEVER replace your diff balls with
