Left front lower arm
The parts supplied with this pack are more
components for the left front suspension
of your Huracán RC. These consist of the
lower arm, the lower arm pin and the height
adjustment block, plus a self-tapping screw to
attach the arm to the block and a ball-headed
screw onto which the left front shock absorber
will be mounted.
1 To assemble the parts supplied, use a small
cross-headed (Phillips) screwdriver.
2 As well as this stage’s components, you will
need the left side frame of the front differential,
which was supplied with Stage 9, but not used at
that time.

into its seating in the lower part of
the left side frame, aligning the
holes in the two pieces.
4 Slide the lower arm pin through
the front hole of the frame and
into, but not all the way through,
that of the block.
5 Fit the lower arm into place on
the lower edge of the frame, then
push the pin all the way in so that
it goes through the two holes in
the arm.
6 Insert and tighten the 3mm
self-tapping screw into the front
hole of the block, to attach the
block to the lower arm.
7 Insert and tighten the ball-
headed screw into the hole at the
end of the arm, as shown.
8 This is how the left front
suspension assembly will look at
the end of this stage.

3 Put the washers onto the ends
of the shafts, placing one behind
each of the four pinions.
4 Put enough grease inside the
differential casing to cover the
planetary gear at the bottom.
5 Now fit the shafts together to
form a cross shape, by engaging
the notches in the centre of each
of the two shafts. Then lightly
lubricate the pinions with a
little grease.
6 Insert both of the shaft and
pinion sets into the casing, fitting
the ends of the shafts into the
recesses in the casing walls.
7 Put some more grease on the
pinions, without emptying the
pack, as you will need some later,
when you add the second
planetary gear to the assembly.
8 Finally, place the O-ring in its
seating round the rim of the
casing to finish this stage. You
will complete the differential in
the next two stages.
36
ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 13
With the parts supplied with this stage, you will complete the internal mechanism of your Huracán’s
front differential. At the end of the stage, make sure that the gears of the mechanism turn without too
much resistance. If this isn’t the case, it’s probably because you’ve overtightened the endplate screws:
loosen them just a little and the movement of the gears will be easier and smoother.
ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 14
Front differential (part 3)
1 For this assembly stage, you need the new
components, the part of the front differential you
have already assembled (Stage 13), your pack of
grease and a Phillips screwdriver.
2 Fit the ball bearing onto the outer face of the
differential case endplate (the face with the raised
area at the centre – the differential pulley will be
fitted there in the next stage). Then insert the cup
joint into the hole in the middle of the endplate, as
shown in the photograph.

3 Push the O-ring onto the shaft
of the cup joint, and press it down
so that it fits into the recess on
the inside of the endplate.
4 Slip the shim washer onto the
shaft of the cup joint and press it
down onto the O-ring. Then insert
the drive pin into the hole in the
cup joint shaft and centre it.
5 Put the planetary gear onto
the shaft and fit it over the drive
pin. Then press the gear down so
that it engages fully with the pin.
To fit these two pieces together
properly, you will need to use a
certain amount of pressure.
6
Squeeze the grease left over
from the previous assembly stage
into the differential case.
7
Fit the endplate onto the case,
and secure it with the four self-
tapping screws. Tighten the
screws with a Phillips screwdriver,
but don’t tighten them too much:
the gears must still be able to
turn freely.
8
Complete this stage by fitting
the bearing eccentric over the
ball bearing on the endplate.

Front differential pulley
and drivebelt
Fitting the pulley supplied with this stage will
complete the assembly of your Huracán’s
front differential. The belt that is provided is
the one that will transmit the drive from the
front intermediate driveshaft to the differential.

Parts supplied:
A Front drivebelt
B Front differential pulley (26T)
C 3mm self-tapping screws
1 In addition to the parts supplied with this stage,
you will need the front differential assembly from
Stage 14 and a Phillips screwdriver.
2 Remove the bearing eccentric and the ball
bearing from the differential assembly. This will
expose the shaped seating on the endplate, onto
which the pulley will be mounted.

3 The inside of the pulley and its
seating on the differential have
been shaped to make a
joint capable of resisting the
considerable forces to which
the two parts will be subjected
when in use.
4 Fit the pulley – with its
recessed side facing the
differential – over the cup joint
and down onto its seating.
5 Put the four self-tapping
screws into the holes in the
pulley and tighten each of them
by a few turns.
6 Tighten the screws fully in a
diagonal sequence: tighten any
one of them, then the one
diagonally opposite it, then
tighten the other two screws.
7 Refit the ball bearing and the
eccentric, and push them up
against the pulley.
8 The completed front
differential, with the drivebelt
fitted loosely onto the pulley.
Store the differential and the belt
in a labelled plastic bag until they
are needed at a later stage.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 15
The pieces you have received with this stage are all parts of the second front hydraulic shock
absorber. To complete the assembly of this shock absorber, which is identical to the first one, you can
use the replenishing oil supplied with Stage 2 (Pack 1).
Second front shock absorber
1 You will need all the shock absorber components
supplied in this pack, the oil supplied with Stage 2,
a pair of needle-nose pliers, a modelling clamp,
and a narrow strip of cloth or thin card.
2 Take the shock shaft and find the end with the
two small grooves in it. Using the needle-nose
pliers, fit an E-ring onto the groove that is closer
to the centre of the shaft.

3 Fit the piston onto the grooved
end of the shaft. Push it down
firmly, so that it butts up against
the E-ring that you fitted in the
previous step.
4 Take the second E-ring and,
again using the pliers, fit it into
the other groove on the shaft to
fix the piston in position.
5 The shock absorber body has
open ends. Hold it so that the end
facing you is the one with the
smaller diameter hole, and fit the
red washer into it.
6 Press the washer firmly into its
seating, then fit the black spacer
on top of it. The photograph
shows the spacer fitted in place.
7 Carefully screw the lower end
cap of the shock absorber onto
the body. Screw it on as far as it
will go, but don’t apply too
much force because that could
damage it.
8 Hold the shaft by the piston,
and lubricate the threaded end
with a few drops of shock
absorber oil.

9 Now insert the threaded end of the
shaft into the wide end of the shock
absorber body. Push it through the
washer until the threaded part
emerges from it, as shown.
10 Using your strip of card or cloth
to protect the shaft, grip it with pliers
and screw the ball end onto the
threaded part of it, using your
fingertips to tighten it.
11
With a modelling clamp, hold the
body of the shock absorber vertical.
Fill the inside with the oil supplied, up
to within about 1mm of the top.
12
Keep the shock absorber vertical
for a few minutes, to allow any air
bubbles to rise to the surface. To
encourage the removal of any
bubbles, carefully move the rod up
and down a few times.
13 Now push the ring of the shock
absorber top through the upper end
cap, as shown in the photograph.
14 Insert the rubber diaphragm
inside the upper end cap, with its
concave face up against the base of
the shock absorber top and the
convex face remaining in view.

15 Now screw the upper end cap
onto the upper end of the shock
absorber body. Tighten it just
enough for the diaphragm to
make the necessary seal so that
there is no loss of oil.
16 Screw the adjusting nut
(indicated by the arrow)
onto the body of the shock
absorber. Position the nut as
shown in the photograph.
17
Fit the spring over the shock
absorber shaft and up against the
adjusting nut. When the assembly is
complete, the nut can be screwed in
and out to vary the amount that the
spring is compressed.
18 Fit the spring holder between
the end of the spring and the ball
end. The holder will keep the spring
in place.
19 Finally, insert the ball-headed
screw into the hole in the shock
absorber top. This screw is what will
secure the shock to the front shock
mount in the next assembly stage.
20 This photograph shows the
completed shock absorber. To check
its operation, hold its ends between
your forefinger and thumb, then
compress and release it.

Front intermediate
driveshaft (part 2)
The parts supplied with this stage are more
components for your model’s transmission. The
main drivebelt and its associated pulleys link
the engine-driven main driveshaft to the front
intermediate shaft. This, in turn, is linked to the
front differential by the front drivebelt (Stage 15).
Together, these belts and pulleys and the differential
deliver the engine power to the front wheels.
Parts supplied:
A Main drivebelt
B Intermediate pulley (24T)
C Spacer
D Pulley shoulder
E Driving pin
F E-ring

4 Put the intermediate pulley
onto the driveshaft, with the side
that has a cross-shaped recess
facing the driving pin. Then slide
the pulley along to locate the pin
within the recess.
5 Now slide the pulley shoulder
onto the shaft so that it fits onto
the hexagonal hub of the pulley.
The photograph shows the side of
the shoulder that should be in
contact with the pulley.
6 Push the two components
together, checking that the
smooth face of the shoulder is
facing outwards.
7 Using the pliers, clip the E-ring
into the groove at the end of the
shaft so that it will keep the
shoulder and pulley in place.
8 The completed front
intermediate driveshaft, with the
drivebelt fitted loosely onto the
intermediate pulley. Store the
driveshaft and the belt in a
