Here’s where we left off with our 2WD Slash in the 3-Phase Build

Step 1:
Begin by removing the front bumper mount to access the chassis screws. Remove the screw that holds the steering linkage to the bellcranks (arrowed), and the 3 mm and 4 mm screws in the bumper mount. Don’t forget the screws that pass through the bumper to reach the mount. The front bumper can remain attached, you only need to remove the bumper mount.

Remove the two front screws

Step 2
With the bumper mount removed, we can now remove the 4 mm screws that attach the chassis to the front bulkhead. Next, turn the chassis over and remove the 3 mm screws from the front skid plate. Remove the front suspension module.

Step 3
Remove the front skid plate by taking out the 4 mm screws that secure it to the bulkhead. Turn the module over and remove the 3x30 mm cap-head screws and washers that hold the steering bellcranks. Slide the bellcranks off of the posts together. Be sure to also remove the PTFE washers that are placed under the bellcranks, there are two on each post.

Step 4
Remove the 3 mm screws from the rear shock tower where it meets the chassis, then turn the truck over and remove the 3 mm screws that hold the skid plate to the chassis. Unplug the motor wires and remove the rear suspension module.

Step 5
Remove the 3 mm and 4 mm screws that hold the skid plate to the transmission, and the arrowed 3 mm screws that secure the rear bumper assembly. Remove the skid plate and rear bumper assembly.

Step 6
Prepare the LCG chassis by installing the battery strap mount and clip post. Use the supplied 3x15 mm screws to secure the mount.

Step 7
Remove the 3x8 mm screws that secure the nerf bars on the original chassis and use them to install the LCG chassis’ supplied nerf bars.

Step 8
Now we’ll remove the electronics from the original chassis. Remove the screws shown from the receiver box, speed control, and servo. The screws that secure the receiver box can be accessed once the lid is removed. Remove the servo-saver from the servo by taking out the arrowed screw and pulling on the servo saver. With the servo saver removed, the servo can be taken out of the chassis. Unplug the speed control and servo from the receiver and set the electronics aside.

Step 9
Install the new lower chassis onto the front bulkhead using the two 4x12 mm screws you removed in Step 3, and the single 4X12 mm screw supplied with the LCG chassis kit. Turn the suspension module over and slide the PTFE washers onto the posts (two per post), followed by the steering bellcranks. Secure the bellcranks using the 3x10 mm cap head screws supplied with the LCG chassis kit, and the washers that you removed in Step 3. DO NOT re-use the 3x30 mm bellcrank screws from the original chassis, as they are too long and will deform or poke through the bottom of the lower chassis if installed.
