READ THIS BEFOREBUILDING

READ THE MANUAL!

This manual is for four different B3 kits and will help you

assemble and set up each one. Read the manual before

starting your kit and before contacting us for help.

"Hello,

Associated, I need some help." "Did you read the manual?"

OPEN THE BAGS IN ORDER

The assembly is arranged so that you will open and finish that

bag before you go on to the next bag. Sometimes you will

have parts remaining at the end of a bag. These will

become part of the next bag. Some bags may have a large

amount of small parts. To make it easier to find the parts, we

recommend using a partitioned paper plate for spreading out

the parts so they will be easier to find.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS

We are constantly updating parts to improve our kits. These

changes, if any, will be noted in supplementary sheets located

in a parts bag or inside the kit box. Check the kit box before

you start and each bag as it is opened. When a supplement is

found, attach it to the appropriate section of the manual.

MANUAL FORMAT

The following explains the format of these instructions.

The beginning of each section indicates:

1Which bag to open ("BAG A") and which steps you'll be using

those parts for ("FOR STEPS 1-3").

2Which parts you will use for those steps. Remove only the

parts shown. "1:1" indicates an actual size drawing; place your

part on top and compare it so it does not get confused with a

similar part.

3Which tools you should have handy for that section.

4An asterix ( * ) next to a part number indicates the part used in

the Factory Team B3 kit. (You can use those numbers to

upgrade your B3 kits to Factory Team specs.)

5 The instructions in each step are ordered in the order you

complete them, so read the words AND follow the pictures. The

numbers in circles are also in the drawing to help you locate

them faster.

6When we refer to left and right sides of the buggy, we are

referring to the driver's point of view inside the car.

Asterix ( * ) denotes Factory Team part number.

Use this number if you have the Factory Team kit.
