STEP 1 Slide and twist the TC4 shock shaft ballcup (2) into the cutout of the Center pivot block (1). Holding the ballcup securely tighten the 3mm screw (3) into the ballcup from the rear of the pivot block. Make sure you have fully tightened the screw! NOTE: After joining the lower rear pod plate to the main chassis using the center pivot block and one-piece links in step #4 you may have to add a small .005 or .010 shim (4) behind the ballcup to adjust the length.

STEP 2 Attach two long standoffs (1) to the main chassis using two 4-40x1/4 flat head screws (4). Attach two short standoffs (2) to the main chassis using two 4-40x1/4 flat head screws (4). Attach two low profile hex balls (3) to the main chassis using two 4-40x1/4 flat head screws.

STEP 3 Attach three low profile hex balls (1) to the lower pod plate using three 4-40x1/4 flat head screws (2). NOTE: After joining the lower rear pod plate to the main chassis using the center pivot block and one-piece links in step #4 you may have to add a small .005 or .010 shim (3) behind the ballcup to adjust the length.

STEP 4 Snap two one-piece side links (1) to the hex balls on the main chassis and the hex balls on the lower pod plate. NOTE: After you have attached the one-piece side links you will need to make sure that the lower rear pod plate pivots freely. If it feels a little bound up you will need to follow the tips on step #1 and step #3 about using shims to make the proper adjustments.

STEP 5 Attach two low profile hex balls (1) to the upper pod plate using two 4-40x1/4 button head screws(2). Attach one 4-40 aluminum ballstud (4) to the upper pod plate using a 4-40 mini locknut (5). Attach the lowered rear bulkheads (6) to the lower pod plate using five 4-40x1/4 flat head screws (3).

STEP 6 Assemble the spring holders using the 4-40x5/16 setscrews (1) and the metal spring holders (2) as noted in the diagram below. Attach the blue side springs (3) to the spring holders by twisting them clockwise. Thread the spring holders to the dampener plate by threading them from the bottom up counterclockwise.

STEP 8 Attach the dampener plate unit to the main chassis using two 4-40x1/4 flat head screws (6) and the battery brace using two 4-40x1/4 button head screws (5). Thread the 4-40x1/2 setscrews (1) to the 4-40 ballcups (2) a little over half way into the ballcups.

(1) through the 1/4 shims (2) through the 1/4x3/8 flanged bearing (3) and ride height adjuster (4) and do the same on the opposite side followed by the left clamping hub (5). For the 3D08 you will want to use three 1/4 shims (2) on the gear side of the axle and two 1/4 shims (2) on the clamping hub side.

STEP 13 Install the servo using mounting two servo mounts (1) to the servo ears using any hardware you choose. Attach the servo with the servo mounts installed to the proper holes by using two 4-40x3/8 flat head screws. Install the proper servo saver to the servo and attach the turnbuckles to the front end and servo saver.
