Tweak Assembly

NOTE the orientation of the ball and the cup as shown to the left before snapping it in. The CRC 4279 "ball popper" tool
works great here for installing and removing the damper ball.

2.
Use a hobby knife, deburr and slightly chamfer the underside of the 3008 tweak plate
where the damper cup will be placed (large 8mm holes). While this is not mandatory, it will help
the installation of the damper cup and make the cup sit perfect in the carbon.
3.
Install the center "bump" spring similar to the side roll springs installed earlier. Put the 1.5
hex through the carbon tweak plate and draw the center spring assembly up into the carbon by
turning counter-clockwise. Adjust so that there is the same 12mm of distance from the
underside of the carbon to the bottom of the spring. The preload of this spring will be fine-tuned
after fully assembled. Again, a little oil, grease or even thread lock on the set screw will
lubricate the screw in the carbon and assist the process.
4.
Push the complete damper up from the bottom through the large hole in the 3008 Tweak
plate. Secure it with the 3072 C-clip. Snap the bottom ballcup end of the damper rod over the
ballstud on the rear pod. For damping lubrication, we recommend the Kyosho range of colored
diff greases on the rear dampers. This is advantageous to using silicone fluids. We recommend
starting with yellow 15K Kyosho diff grease. Later, after adding the damper grease, cap it off
with the 3073 damper caps. The first installation of the caps is very firm, but the caps become
easier to mount with use.
With the red, yellow, blue (5k, 15k, 30K) thickness of the Kyosho diff grease, it is easy to talk
"light, medium and heavy) for damping. These 3
tracks in the world, both front and rear.
5.
Use the 1480 M3x6 flat heads to secure the 3067 standoffs to the battery plate. A small dab
of thread lock is recommended on the 3067 standoffs.
The 3010 attery bar is mounted with the 1490 M3 x 8 button heads. This bar secures the b
ROAR legal 1s battery pack.
Rear Axle
1.
The inner collar on the CRC spur gear needs to be removed when using the gear in a solid axle application. Take a hobby knife
Bag 6
and trim off the "flange" of plastic that faces the back side of the axle flange.
2.
Slip/stretch the 3062 O-ring over both rear axle flanged bearings.
3.
Assemble the axle as shown.
