3. Now for TLT Axles you need to trim off and drill the uprights coming off the original servo mount location.

5. Mount the upper link/servo mount with the curve to the front of the axle. Putting nuts and bolts in the orignal location of the stock uprights.

6. Now some trimming will need to be done to the stampede Transmission. On the bottom of the trans there are two round mounts that need to be cut so that the transmission can sit flat.

7. Its time to mount the trans to the skid plate using the supplied Phillips head machine screws.
