STEP 13
OPEN BAG M1D.
THREAD TWO BALL STUDS INTO
THE FRONT 5057 BRACE. IF THEY FEEL TOO TIGHT, USE A
HOBBY KNIFE TO OPEN UP THE TOP PART OF THE HOLES A
LITTLE.
STEP 14
INSERT THE 1/4” CAP SCREWS THROUGH
THE REAR BRACE AND NYLON SPACERS INTO THE
HOLES IN THE SIDE OF THE LARGER CHROME COL-
LARS. ALIGN THE COLLARS SO THAT THE HOLE POINTS
TOWARD THE BALL STUD ON EACH SIDE AND TIGHTEN
THEM. YOU CAN ADJUST THE ANGLE WITH THE
DAMPER ROD IN THE NEXT STEP.
STEP 15
YOU CAN INSTALL YOUR MOTOR FIRST IF
YOU WISH WITH SCREWS AND WASHERS FROM BAG
M3, BUT MAKE SURE YOU ALIGN IT SO THAT YOU CAN
SOLDER THE WIRES IF NEEDED. YOU CAN ALSO
SLIDE THE REAR AXLE OUT TO INSTALL OR REMOVE
THE MOTOR WITH DISTURBING YOUR DAMPER SET-
TINGS.
SCREW THE NYLON BALL CUPS ONTO THE
THREADED ENDS OF THE DAMPER RODS. SLIDE A
SMALL COLLAR, SPRING, AND SILICONE TUBE ONTO
EACH ONE, THEN INSERT THE END THROUGH THE
LARGE COLLAR ATTACHED TO THE 5057 BRACE AND
SNAP IT ONTO THE BALL STUD ON THAT SIDE. ADD A
SILICONE TUBE AND COLLAR ON EACH ONE. PUSH
THE REAR COLLARS FORWARD UNTIL THE SILICONE
TUBES COMPRESS SLIGHTLY AGAINST THE LARGE
COLLAR AND TIGHTEN THEM.
SLIDE THE FRONT COLLARS BACK UNTIL THEY COM-
PRESS THE SPRINGS A LITTLE AND TIGHTEN THEM.
YOU CAN ADJUST THEM LATER TO CHANGE THE
CARS’ HANDLING. YOU CAN TRIM THE LENGTH OF THE
RODS AS NEEDED TO KEEP THEM FROM RUBBING ON
THE CHASSIS SIDES .

THE AXLE, SLIDE THE AXLE THRU THE BUSHINGS,
THEN ADD THE 1/4” AXLE SPACER AND 5311 HUB
WITH SETSCREWS . LEAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF
SIDEPLAY IN THE AXLE.ADD A DROP OF LIGHT OIL
INSIDE EACH BUSHING. TIGHTEN EACH SET-
SCREW A LITTLE A TIME TO KEEP FROM WARPING
THE HUB. YOU SHOULD FILE A FLAT SPOT ON THE
AXLE WHERE EACH SETSCREW HITS TO MAKE IT
MORE SECURE AND EASIER TO REMOVE.
