TRAXXAS RUSTLER SHOCKS HOW TO

Take the new receiver box and mount it to the new chassis. Next put on the new slash body mounts front and rear. Reinstall the rear shock tower and reattach the upper shocks. Take and put it on the new chassis as you just removed it. Gently pry up and the rear bulkhead will come off with the transmission and control arms still attached. Remove the 6 screws from the bottom of the chassis holding the rear bulkhead. Then remove the 4 screws holding the shock tower to the rear bulkhead and set shock tower aside. Remove the 2 screws holding the top of shocks to the shock tower. Pull the wires through the rear shock tower. Here you need to unplug the motor from the ESC. You can now reattach the toe links to the wheel ends. We Now attach the black cover plate and steering servo to the bottom of new chassis and front bulkhead. Then take the black (bottom cover) plate for new chassis and put the steering servo and bell crank on using the same screws that held it on the rustler chassis. Take the new chassis and position the bulkhead on the bottom side of the new chassis and attach with 2 screws. I removed it with the shock tower and control arms all still attached. Next, you are going to remove the front bulkhead (3 screws underneath). Remove the steering servo and bell crank from the upper chassis plate by the 4 screws on servo and 2 screws on bell crank, and slide bell crank up and off the chassis plate (careful not to lose the washers and spacers), now set the servo and bell crank assy aside we will be putting that on the new chassis! You have to remove the receiver box cover to access the plug connector for the steering servo, so you can unplug it. Next, remove the front body mount (two screws holding to the shock tower) and then remove the upper chassis cover(4 screws 2 in front and 2 in rear) and disconnect the toe links at the knuckle (wheel end).

The first thing you want to do is to remove the body and then take all 4 wheels off(nut in the center of wheel rim).

When bashing with the rustler it can break quite often if you’re not careful on how you are running.
