DP Gear Cover Installation
1. Place the DP Gear Cover in
position, pushing it gently into the
chassis.
2. Press the hook feature (nearest the
motor mount holes) down. It will
snap into place.
3. Reassemble the chassis gear cover.
The 3rd, shorter screw goes into the
rear gearbox, so hold the gearbox in
place and screw it in.
(manual page 11, bag H, step 1)
4. Put the differentials back in, and
drop in the drive shaft.
(manual page 4, steps 3-6)
5. Take the DP Guillotine part and
press it into the Gear Cover until it
sits flush with the upper edge of the
Gear Cover. NOTE: This is a hard
press fit. You may want to chamfer
the edges of the Guillotine part for
easier installation.
6. Place the top plate in position and
reassemble it to the chassis using
the 6 previously removed screws
(manual page 5 step 12)
6. Use the remaining 2 screws from the
underside to reassemble the lower
rear arms to the chassis. (manual
page 5, step 5)
7. Push the dog bone springs back into
the differential out-drives, push in the
dog bones, and reassemble the 4
upper arm ball studs to the chassis.
8. Reassemble the 4 shock tower ball
studs, and you’re almost there!
9. Press the DP Motor Mount Adapter
over the existing motor mount.
10. Slide the motor back into position,
set the pinion gear mesh and put in
the last 3 screws.
