EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT AXLE PLATE WITH A 3/8” LONG
SOCKET HEAD SCREW. INSTALL A 1” BODY POST ON EACH

FRONT AXLE PLATE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CHASSIS
WITH TWO 1/4” LONG SOCKET HEAD SCREWS. THE SCREWS
WILL SELF TAP INTO THE AXLE PLATE.

STEP 6 STEP 6 OPEN BAGS 2L AND 2L1 AND INSTALL A BUSHING
ADAPTOR INTO EACH CHASSIS SIDE PLATE. BOTH
ADAPTERS MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE SAME WAY WITH
EITHER THE HOLE UP OR DOWN AS SHOWN. FOLLOW THIS
BY PRESSING A REAR AXLE BUSHING INTO EACH ADAPTER.

PREASSEMBLED DIFFERENTIAL, THEN SLIDE IT THRU THE
BUSHINGS AS SHOWN. LUBE EACH BUSHING WITH A DROP
OF LIGHT OIL. SLIDE ANOTHER THIN WASHER ON, THEN ADD
THE 1/2” WIDE SPACER, FOLLOWED BY THE NYLON HUB.
INSTALL TWO SETSCREWS IN THE HUB CAREFULLY. MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SIDEPLAY IN THE
AXLE. TIGHTEN EACH SETSCREW A LITTLE AT A TIME TO
KEEP FROM WARPING THE HUB.
STEP 8 OPEN BAG 3L1 AND INSTALL THE MOTOR YOU
HAVE CHOSEN INTO THE CHASSIS WITH THE SOCKET HEAD
MOTOR SCREWS AND WASHERS. INSTALL THE PINION GEAR
WITH THE SETSCREW AND ALIGN IT WITH THE AXLE SPUR
GEAR THEN TIGHTEN. SLIDE THE MOTOR BACK UNTIL YOU
HAVE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF PLAY IN BETWEEN THE
GEARS. TURN THE GEAR A COUPLE OF TIMES TO RECHECK
THE MESH, THEN TIGHTEN THE MOTOR SCREWS SECURELY.

STEP 9 INSTALL YOUR SERVO UNDER THE BATTERY TRAY
AS SHOWN WITH A PORTION OF THE SERVO TAPE
PROVIDED IN BAG 6L. MOUNT THE SERVO AS FAR TO ONE
SIDE AS YOU CAN TO GET THE SERVO OUTPUT SHAFT AS

STRAP TO HELP HOLD THE SERVO IN PLACE. OPEN BAG 3L2
AND INSTALL A SHORT AND LONG STEERING LINK ON EACH
SIDE BETWEEN THE SERVO AND STEERING BLOCK. SLIDE A
COLLAR WITH SETSCREW OVER EACH PAIR THEN ALIGN

STEP 11 USE THE TWO SMALL TIE STRAPS TO ATTACH
THE ANTENNA TUBE INSIDE THE CHASSIS NEXT TO THE
STEERING SERVO. RUN YOUR ANTENNA WIRE THRU THE
TUBE AND TAPE IT AT THE TOP. TAKE THE EXCESS
ANTENNA WIRE AND OTHER RADIO WIRES AND SECURE
THEM NEAR THE RECEIVER TO KEEP THINGS NEAT AND OFF
THE GROUND.
STEP 12 INSTALL YOUR BATTERY PACK UNDER THE
BATTERY TRAY WITH A LARGE TIE STRAP. ROUTE THE PLUG
THRU THE TRAY AT THE FRONT OR REAR SO YOU CAN
ATTACH IT TO THE ESC.

PLUG THE SPEED CONTROL AND SERVO INTO THE
RECEIVER. SOLDER THE MOTOR WIRES TO THE MOTOR AND

RADIO SWITCH UNDER THE BATTERY TRAY BEHIND THE
STEERING SERVO. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO TURN THE CAR
ON OR OFF WITHOUT REMOVING THE BODY.
STEP 13 INSTALL ONE SMALL BUSHING FROM BAG 1L2
INTO EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT WHEELS. LUBE EACH STUB
AXLE WITH A DROP OF LIGHT OIL, THEN INSTALL THE FRONT
WHEELS AND RETAIN WITH A 5-40 LOCKNUT. LEAVE JUST
ENOUGH PLAY SO THAT THE WHEELS SPIN FREELY. THE
FRONT AND REAR BUSHINGS WILL LAST AND PERFORM
WELL IF YOU KEEP THEM CLEAN AND LUBRICATED. STEP13

STEP 15 PAINT THE BODY YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND TRIM IT
OUT. DRILL THE MOUNTING HOLES FOR THE BODY POSTS
AND A HOLE FOR THE ANTENNA TUBE. ATTACH THE BODY
WITH THE REMAINING POST NUTS AND CLIPS FROM BAG 9L.
TURN THE FRONT WHEELS LEFT TO RIGHT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY DON’T RUB ON THE BODY WHEN YOU STEER
THE CAR.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE TIPS:
THE DIFF SHOULD BE ADJUSTED SO THAT IT SLIPS
SLIGHTLY AS THE CAR STARTS OFF
KEEP YOUR DIFFERENTIAL CLEANED AND
LUBRICATED USING SILICON DIFF LUBE
KEEP THE BUSHINGS CLEAN AND LUBRICATED
LIGHTLY OIL THE MOTOR BUSHINGS
KEEP THE GEAR MESH ADJUSTED TO PREVENT THE
STRIPPING OF THE AXLE SPUR GEAR
CLEAN AND RE-LUBE THE KINGPINS SO THAT THE
FRONT SUSPENSION WORKS SMOOTHLY.
ABOVE ALL, HAVE FUN RACING YOUR
R/C LEGENDS CAR!!
STEP 15
STEP14 ATTACH EACH OF THE REAR WHEELS TO THE
REAR HUBS WITH TWO 3/8” LONG SOCKET HEAD SCREWS.
