ISASSEMBLY
To start the conversion, remove the rear pod top plate, rear tweak plate, center top
deck, and all parts associated with these pieces (i.e. center shock, damper tubes, rear
body mounts, etc.) You will also need to remove your battery, but it may or may not be
necessary to remove the rest of your electronics, depending on where you had them
mounted. When you're finished, you should be left with something that looks similar to
the drawing to the right. (front body posts and servo can remain in the car as well as the
two red low-profile balls on the rear bottom plate.)

SSEMBLY
Begin assembly with the bolt-on link mounts. Insert two 4-40 x 5/16" flat head screws [1] up through the chassis holes shown in the diagram
and thread them into the link mount brackets [2]. Do not fully tighten these two screws yet. Now, insert two more of the 5/16" screws up
through the link mount [3] and thread into the link mount bracket [2]. Now that all four screws are started into the link mount bracket, you
can fully snug these down. DO NOT
play-free fit, and are not meant to be tightened down extremely tight. Now that these four screws are lightly snugged down, tighten the red
4-40 locknuts [4] down onto the screws to completely lock the mounting plate in place.
