T-MAXX ROLLBAR INSTALLATION

We have had a few requests to help with the installation of the rollbar.

Tools that you will need:

Phillips screw driver, 1 Toothpick, Fine point marker, Drill with 1/8” drill bit,  9/64” or 5/32” drill bit (one or two sizes up from 1/8”.

First remove the two 6-32 screws from the bottom of you new rollbar.  Then insert the two toothpick pieces into the holes.  Now place the rollbar into position and with your marker; mark the ends of the toothpicks where they touch the chassis.  These are the two holes that you will need to drill.  Depending on the length of drill bit that you use, you may need to remove the gas tank to be able to drill these holes.

We recommend drilling the holes with an 1/8" bit first, to make sure you have the position correct then enlarging the holes with a 9/64" or 5/32" bit.  Be careful not to make a hole too big or too close to the receiver battery. If you are a little bit off center on your holes, you can "bend" the rollbar very slightly by hand to line up your holes. Once you have the holes drilled, remove the toothpick pieces from the rollbar and position it on the chassis.  Then from the bottom of the truck, insert the screws and tighten the rollbar. 

We recommend the use of thread lock as with all of our products.  Make sure that the rollbar is securely mounted to the chassis by picking up the truck by the rollbar.                             
This install process should take less than 5 min.

T/E-MAXX SWAY BAR INSTALLATION (ORIGINAL ONLY)

FF009 DISCONTINUED

Our sway bars can be installed on the front and rear of the T-MAXX and

E-MAXX. To install the sway bar, the truck must be sitting on a flat surface so the suspension will be slightly compressed.

Please note that the sway bars are designed to mechanically connect the
left and the right suspension together. This will cause some loss in the travel of the shocks. If you have your suspension setup with a very high ride you will have problems installing these.

Slide the sway bar through both bumper mounts as Shown (picture 1).

The sway bar will rest on top of the left and right a-arms(2). 

You need to line up the hole in center of the rod end to the solid area on the A-arm. See the white dot in picture(3).
You may need to push the suspension down to make the holes line up. Using a pen or marker, mark the holes and as shown in picture(4).
With an 1/8" bit, drill both upper A-arms where you marked. You can also drill through the rod ends(5).
Install the 4/40 Allen bolts and nuts as in picture(6).
And you are done. Now take it out for a spin!

Note:
The sway bars will make a huge difference in the performance of your truck in tight turns, on dirt or street. Our new sway bars now have rod ends on them to prevent the strain on the A-arms and they work great. The new sets are shipped without the nylon bushings as they are no longer needed. Simply bolt the sway bar right on to the A-arm as described above and you are ready to go.

3mm THREADED INSERT KIT

This kit is designed to fix the stripped out threads on your T-MAXX transmission.
Due to the fact that you will be drilling into your plastic transmission case,
FULLFORCE RC does not in any way accept responsibility as to the results of your actions. You do this at your own risk.

Remove the transmission and set on a clean work area. Using the provided drill bit, drill out all 8 mounting screws.
Be very careful when drilling, do not drill too deep or you will penetrate the gear spaces!!!!

Hold the drill very steady as not to oversize the holes. Press the inserts into the holes. This may require a good amount of pressure
or tapping with a small hammer. When tightening the screws into the inserts, do not over-tighten as this may dislodge the insert. As always we recommend the use of
Loctite to prevent lost parts.

"HOLMWRECKER" REAR TOE LINKS

These ultra beefy rear toe links are a direct replacement for the stock ones on your truck. They are made from hollow graphite shaft which provides superb strength yet enough flexibility to be able to withstand some seriously hard abuse. Strong aluminum inserts are glued into the shafts which allow the use of much stronger 8/32 threaded Kyosho rod ends and flanged balls.
These links were originally designed by "HOLMWRECKER AND OVALQUEEN" from the MAXXPITSTOP online help forum.

To install the links;
Mount the flanged side towards the surface to be mounted on. The screws provided replace the stock screws on both ends of the links. These are a fixed length link, set at zero degrees of toe. If toe in is desired, simply adjust the upper and lower pivot balls by the same amount on each one, adjusting them clockwise will give more toe-in, counterclockwise will give less. Make sure to take up the slack on the pivot balls by adjusting the pivot ball pillows as needed.
Be aware that there is a right and left link so if it doesn't look right, you will need to try it on the other side.
Replacement balls or ends are available at most hobby stores.
Kyosho ends #1296
Kyosho balls #92841

Here are some pictures of these links mounted on one of our project trucks. Just compare the wimpy stock rods to the newly installed HOLMWRECKER toe link!
