To increase the pinion/spur gear range, bevel the edge of the 3009 damper strut with a file or

Dremel. This will increase available space to move the motor forward. Just file a 45 degree bevel
into the strut as shown to the right. This is NOT mandatory, just a convenience.

Carefully install the 30 1 center
the damper strut so that the screw
thread the set screw straight and perpendicular into the carbon fiber. Put a little oil or grease on
the screw first.
Please note the direction and orientation of the damper strut that attaches to the 2 bulkheads.
Use M3 x 6mm button head (#1489) screws to mount the strut to the 2 bulkheads. Leave these
slightly loose until this assembly is bolted to the chassis.
Attach 2 of the ballstuds (3082) to the damper strut using M3 locknuts.

The two 3061 axle carriers attach to the motor pods with
the 1491 M3 x 10 button head screws. The kit 2.25 mm ride
spacer (3018) goes between the axle carriers (3061) and the
lower bulkhead (3060). The entire assembly attaches to the
chassis with 4 of the M3 x 5 mm flatheads (1479). Be sure to
use ONLY the M3 x
With the entire pod bolted flat to the chassis, don't forget to
tighten the 1489 button heads that we left slightly loose from
the earlier step.
To alter the ride height in the rear, in addition to the kit 2.25 spacer, CRC has 2 and
2.5 mm thick ride spacers available.

to be lightly secured. Thread the 3080 M3 x 3 set screw into the battery plate. Later, this

set screw will adjust and limit your "up-travel". Be sure the screw does not protrude
toward the bottom. It must be flush or sunk in.
