XMODSTM Custom RC
All Wheel Drive Kit 60-8506
Upgrade your XMODS custom RC from standard two-wheel drive to all-wheel drive for improved traction
and cornering. Before installing this kit, turn off your vehicle and controller, and detach the car body.
The All-Wheel Drive kit includes:
Rear differential gear
Drive shaft cone gear
Front left and right steering assembly w/differential gear
Left and right rear arms (optional installation)
Tube of grease
1
Use the lug wrench supplied in your XMODSTM Starter Kit to
detach the front lug nuts and wheels.
2
Loosen and remove each damper screw and detach the
right and left front and rear dampers.
Note: Although the front and rear differential gears appear similar,
they are not. DO NOT USE THEM INTERCHANGEABLY! In the
event of mix up, carefully unscrew one gear into two halves.
If the gear has metal bearings inside, this is the rear
differential. If not, the gear is the front differential.
1
Loosen and remove each screw beneath the right and left
front knuckles. Loosen and remove the four screws
beneath the front arm base.
2
Unscrew and remove the two rear screws on the front upper
deck. Lift up and remove the front upper deck along with
the left and right steering assemblies.

Install the cone gear on the chassis’ drive shaft. Be sure to
align the shaft’s D-cut with the hole in the cone gear.

Loosen and remove the six screws in the rear upper deck.

Remove and discard the top shipping plate from the front
all-wheel drive steering assemblies and screw the front
upper deck back into place.

Remove the four screws in the rear lower deck and
then carefully lift and remove the rear axle assembly away
from the lower deck.
Rear Section All-Wheel Drive Installation
For longest life and optimum performance you must replace the rear differential with the all-wheel drive
differential; however, replacing the left and right suspension arms is not required.
4
Reassemble the rear section of your car in reverse order.
Reassemble the front and rear dampers and wheels.
5
Perform this step ONLY if your car will be driven indoors
exclusively, as the grease can collect dirt and dust!
Apply a dab of grease between the front bevel gears and
another dab between the rear bevel gears.
5
Insert the tie rod tips into the hole at the base of the left
and right turn knuckles. Screw the four front lower deck
screws into the all-wheel drive steering assemblies. Screw
the two turn knuckle screws into the front lower deck.
Note: Be sure the universal
joints have not disengaged
from the differential axles
before screwing the
assembly into place.
