	The rear shock stay also from 5 mm carbon fiber. The so called 7th hole is drilled.
	As with all carbon parts we advise to use some cyano acrylic glue around the edges to prevent splitters.
	The rear gear box builds the same way as the front. T6-7075 CNC machined hinge pin holders are standard. Here also we would have liked a 3 x 3 mm set screw prevent the hinge pin from rotating and wearing out the thinner front hinge pin holder. See more in our tips & tricks section.
	The wing stay has plastic cross bars which perform OK in high load situations.
	Take also care to place thin washers behind the heads of the 3 mm screws which touch the carbon. More in our tips & tricks section. The rear chassis brace here too is a T6-7075 CNC machined version as standard. For both the front and the rear plastic chassis braces are included in the kit to tune the flex of the car.
	The rear hubs fully build with the universal drive shafts.
	Also the same lockable hinge pins as used in the front are supplied for the rear.
	Also in the rear you can adjust the play in the lower suspension arms by adding some thin 4 mm shim washers.
	To adjust the wheelbase of the car in 2 mm steps you can add small clips. This is the short wheel base setting.
	This is the medium wheel base setting.
	This is the long wheel base setting.
	The upper rods used in the rear also have left/right thread turnbuckles made of steel as standard. Here also mount them so when turned to the front the distance between the rods becomes smaller. Jammin versions have the titanium Lunsford turnbuckles.
	The front and the rear part ready to be mounted on the chassis.
