Axial EXO Terra Build – Part 7 – Front and Rear Clips

The Build – Part 7
Part 7 has you attaching the front and rear assembled clips to your EXO chassis. This is a fairly straightforward step.

Build Notes:
Have some thread lock handy for the screws that thread into aluminum parts.

Start this step by inserting the front dogbone into the center diff cup. Line up the front diff cup to the dogbone and insert, holding the front clip to the chassis plate. Insert the two rear-most screws through the chassis to hold the front clip into place (screw in about 1/2 way at this point). Slide the bumper mount into place and thread the other two screws into the gearbox. Tighten them down.

Attach the steering link to the steering block by inserting the screw through the top and down through the steering arm. Secure with the locknut. Complete both sides. Note the orientation of the steering link eyelet.

Attach the front chassis brace. Make sure the brace is seated completely before tightening down. A small dab of loctite is required on the screws that feed into the steering posts.

The rear clip attaches much the same as the front. Start by inserting the dogbone into the center diff cup. Line up and insert the dogbone into the rear diff cup and hold the rear clip against the chassis. Secure with the two screws nearest the front of the chassis. Tighten about 1/2 way for now.

Slide the bumper mount into place, then feed the two screws through the plastic rear chassis guard, through the chassis and into the rear gearbox. Tighten all 4 screws down.

Line up and attach the rear chassis brace. Make sure it is completely seated before tightening.
