Note: Wider hex and the stub axles are for the front, the narrower hex are for the rear

note: to install the front, replace the stock axle with the included stub axles and install the hex adapter on it.  Remove the set screw and put in the original kit drive pin, and then follow with set screw to secure it in place.  A bit of blue lock-tite will help secure the set screw in place.  Install drive pins and set screw the same for the rear.

note: Those running ST3652 series aluminum rear hub carriers will have to do the following:  Do not use any axle washers.  Use Associated drive pins (smaller diameter) especially when using the ST1953 MIP CVD driveshaft kit.

Note: The advantage of 1 deg. rear toe-in hub carriers is the added toe-in angle providing more traction in the rear and straight line stability

Note: the set screw is to hold the hinge-pin and the hub carriers in place together and the hinge-pins rotate in the arms only (and not the hub) this is to be used with E-clip type hinge-pins that comes with the aluminum a-arms (ST2555 or ST3655, ST3631) or lock-nut type hinge-pin kit (ST3640BK and ST3640S).  DO NOT use the setscrew when using the stock hinge-pin (screw into the A-arm type)

Note: Delrin bushings are available separately.

Note: The shock bodies are designed to work with upper shock cap ST2267 (which will accomodate the upper seal O-ring)

Note: when building the lower shock cartridge it is best to use new O-rings, but use the black plastic spacer from the stock plastic grey shocks

Note: It is also recommended that Associated green slime to be used when building the shock cartridge (especially if you plan on up grading to Traxxas Ti-nitride shock shafts)  Due to the ti-nitride treatment, the ti-nitride shock shaft will be slightly  smaller in diameter which the green slime will help keep a good seal between the cartridge and the shock shaft

Note: The bottom mounting plate is not symmetrical (longitudinal wise) so be sure to have the correct side mounting over the transmission and over the chassis

note: blue lock-tite helps in securing screws to the metal parts

Note: Our latest version of the caster blocks will accepted the threaded type king-pin screws.  Older XL-5 series owners will need to pick up the Traxxas threaded type king-pin screws to install our caster block.  Our latest version will bolt right on to the Slash and VXL series vehicles

Note:  The machined grip on the outside of the shock caps are to help provide better grip during assembly

Note: The deeper groove at the bottom inside of the shock caps are to accommodate the sealing o-rings from shock bodies ST3765 and ST3766.

Note: The neck of the upper shock cap mounts have been extended taller by 1.5mm to provide clearance around the shock tower mounting points

Note:  Be careful when screwing on the red retaining ring.  The rings are not pre-threaded and as you install them, you’ll be making the thread during the process.
