Again with the modular design, the rear assembly is easy to remove from the chassis.  However, do be careful around the spur gear/center drive shaft area, it’s a bit tricky to pull out if the spur gear is a bit mis-aligned and hanging against the chassis
Install the rear shock tower and please note the direction the logo is facing.  When installing the upper shock mounting spacers, use a bit of blue loc-tite on the screws that holds it in place.  Disassemble the rear lower arm assembly to install the aluminum a-arms

Install the rear A-arms and note the direction in which the arm is facing (“L” and “R” designation).  Next, line up the aluminum suspension parts next to the plastic stock pieces before assembly.  Please note the rear hub carrier have set-screw for the bottom hinge-pins.  This is NOT to be used with the stock screw-in-arm type hinge-pin as this will lock-up the rear outer suspension.  The set-screw is to be used with our rear lock-nut style hinge-pins (ST3640RS and ST3640RBK)  The set-screw reduces wear on the hub carriers as it allows the hinge-pins to rotate in the arms and not in the hub carrier.

When installing the rear camber links, note the included spacer with the rear shock tower goes on the inner camber link mounting for proper spacing and camber link angle.

with the rear section of the truck removed, it is a good time to install the rear motor mount and motor plate assembly as well.  Remove the stock plastic motor mount and remove the stock motor plate.  Install the motor onto the heat-sink finned motor plate and make sure it “keys” into the motor mount.  Screw on the main motor mount assembly onto the chassis.  do not install the silver motor gear mesh screw (the silver screw with the lock washer) just yet.

Now install the small alignment piece of our motor mount assembly onto the chassis and install the silver long motor gear mesh screw.  First by just using your hand to get the screw on, then follow by using a 2.5mm ball-hex driver to finish the installation of this screw.

Final step, re-attach the rear assembly back to the rear of the chassis
