Author: Marco Moreno

13mm AE Truck Shocks Front and Rear
13mm Avid B74.X shock mounts work (Yokomo 13mm mounts may too)
use the longest 13mm AE eyelets front and rear
tune droop with internal limiter shims, rear no internal limiter shims used at all

13mm Yokomo Buggy Shock Conversion
Use Factory Foote Front YZ2T Tower
Use Facotry Foote Rear -2 Tower for maximum available droop
Use Yokomo 13mm Buggy Front shocks in the front, 2mm internal limiters to start
Use Yokomo 13mm Buggy Rear Long Shocks in the Rear, no limiters
For maximum droop on the rear, use Associated Shock ends +6 from ASC91885

FRONT

• A-Arms
  T6.2 and greater front a-arms, flip side left to right, right to left
  drill small screw holes to use screws to hold pins on rear of a-arms so they don't come out

• Swaybars
  Sway bar mounts will now screw onto the front of the a-arms
  Sway bar mounts bolt onto the AE ball mounts, remove the mounting balls or use old style cups
  flip sway bar adjustment collars around so they cover more of the sway bar wire
  Yokomo 4wd Buggy Swaybars may be used if trimmed for thicker bars

• Front lower Bulkhead
  shimming on inner hingepin needed, about 1.75mm to 1.85mm gap, using stock pins
  Shim the a-arm forward
  Instead of shimming, you can use the SO 2.0 front metal bulkhead braces, 1 mounted to rear
  Pins will poke out of the lower bulkhead less due to the thicker a-arms, use metal bulkheads
  Use the aluminum front bulkhead brace that the CAL3.X and SO 1.0 comes with on the front
  Use a fresh bumper to keep everything together or add something to take up any space

• Outer Front Carriers
  Outer front carriers need to be CAL3.X and up as far as the insert and pins go
  T6.2 and up outer hingepin or cutdown Yokomo CAL3.X and up pin to 26mm / same length
  Carrier will fit a-arms snug with no shim, frees up over time or Dremel a-arm or carrier slightly

• SO 2.0 / 3.0 Steering Blocks
  Use Part #ZC-550A x 4 (for 2.0mm) between axle and outer bearing to space the axle properly

• SO 3.0 Servo Mount
  use Flat head 3x6mm screw to mount to YZ2T Chassis plate

• Team Associated 3.5mm Turnbuckles
  Use turnbuckles from T6.4 / T7
  Camber Link: Use long turnbuckles. Use the Yokomo ball cups, drill them out using 3.2mm bit
  Steering Link: Use short turnbuckles. Use Associated 3.5mm Turnbuckle ball cups

REAR

• YZ4SF2 / MO.X Rear Carrier and inserts

• CAL3.X rear sway bar kit, can pop mount over AE ball on a-arm

• A-Arms
  approximately 1 to 2mm of shims is needed on inner hingepins

• Inner rear Hingepin
  Stock 3.5mmx47.5mm CAL3.X, AE are 3.5mmx48mm
  CAL3.X 3.5mm hingepin inserts

• Rear outer Hingepin
  AE b74 pin ASC92188
  Approximately 6.0mm to 6.5mm of shims are needed with the Yokomo rear carriers

• Team Associated 3.5mm Turnbuckles
