Default Rear Brake Kit on a Revo 2.5

So I got some stuff for my truck for Christmas, one of which was the 3.3 gearbox halves so I can install the rear brake and center differential kits on my Revo 2.5. My question is does anyone know of a guide or something so I know where to cut my chassis and don't weaken it any more than I need to? Anyone have photos? Also, what should I use to cut the chassis? Thanks a lot everyone.

I remember a while ago there was a guide. I think all you have to do is file away at the rear part of the opening. Ill see if I can find the guide again....

If you dont mine, you can pick up a Slayer chassis on E Bay, that you can just drop your set up in.

When I did mine the brake kit had a diagram for that. I used a tremal w/a cut off wheel. Plus I also had to mod the rear drive shaft where it rest against the trany to make it spin better cause it's a bit to long. or u can get the alt. drive shaft they reconmend.

Yes, the kit should have directions, with a diagram showing the notch location. It's minor really. Just a 10mm deep notch, as clearance for the linkage.
