Portal Axle Upgrade Kit Installation Instructions 1) Using your stock Everest Gen 7 Sport or Pro model, start by removing the wheels and tires as well as the body. Once that is complete, we’ll start with the front end. 2) The first step will be to start removing the front axle assembly. Remove the screws and nuts that secure the upper and lower links and shocks to the axle housing. You’ll need to remove the screw pin that secures the drive shaft to the input shaft.

All 3 links will need to be curved outward, as shown.

Slipper Clutch PORTAL KIT SLIPPER CLUTCH INFO The Redcat Portal Axle Kit includes a slipper clutch upgrade, with gearing change, intended for the Everest Gen7. This is an optional upgrade. Because of the additional gear reduction present in the portal axles, without a gearing change, the Everest Gen7’s top speed will be reduced by about 50%. When properly installed and adjusted, the slipper clutch will prevent drive-train damage, and should return the top speed of the vehicle to the stock levels.
