Now it’s time for the rear suspension components in Bag F.
Here’s everything that’s in the bag. Arms, rear hubs, hinge pins and hardware.
Ball studs installed.
Rear hubs installed onto the rear suspension arms. The rear hubs look pretty beefy. They should hold up to some abuse.
Now we’ll mount the arm assemblies to the rear chassis plate.
This thing is starting to look like a buggy!
Then we drop in the transmission and bolt it in.
Time for the rear of the rear suspension. Here we have the rear shock tower, rear camber plate/bulkhead, and wing mounts.
Let’s attach the wing mounts to the rear shock tower and the upper shock mounting screws as well.
That was easy.
Next up, ball studs on the rear camber plate.
Attach the shock tower to the camber plate/rear bulkhead.
Last set of turnbuckles!! Some CVD’s too.
The CVD’s go together like any other, so I didn’t get shots of that. I put them together with a dab of Associated Black Grease to keep them smooth.
Now it’s time to install them all (rear tower/bulkhead, CVD’s and Camber links).
Lastly we top it off with this little guy. It’s a brace from the rear shock tower to the transmission.
I had to loosen the one wing mount to get this in.
Installed!
Now we put in the motor guard.
Then the ESC mounting plate.

Kevin,
I am really impressed with the time and attention to detail you took to do such a complete build-up of our new V2MR buggy. Looking forward to reading your next commentary on the buggy.
