The Build – Part 2

The next couple of steps have us prep the chassis on the Team Associated B64 Club Racer.

Build Notes:
Blue threadlocking compound is suggested on quite a few steps from here on out. Have some available to avoid any screws falling out while running your B64 Club Racer.
Step 1:

Step 2:

Attach the pair of aluminum servo posts and the battery strap mount. A dab of threadlocker on the screws going into the aluminum posts is recommended.
Step 3:

Attach the aluminum and plastic center bulkhead pieces. Blue threadlocker is suggested into the aluminum part.

Note the red arrow; this shows the orientation of the notch on the plastic bulkhead. It should be facing the aluminum mount.

Step 4:

Slide a 10×15 bearing on to each side of the center diff and drop it into place (note its direction). Give it a spin to make sure there is no binding, then attach the center bulkhead cap. Blue threadlocker is suggested here as well.

That was a few easy steps for prep – let’s move on to the steering.
