help needed for newbie

[converse]

hi - have got a HiSpeed RST NC365 - Fully Built Hot Lava Off Road Nitro Buggy - when i got it, it was missing a part - the dog bone on the front driver side, which should i think give power to the wheel. so i think at the mo it is three wheel drive.

i have got the required part and emailed company to ask how to fit it - there reply - " You would take the wheel off and then the knuckle arm off to install it"

well i managed to get the wheel off and took off the two silver screw in things (ball head cover and caps) but i can't seem to work out how to get the knuckle arm/hub off - i guess i need to remove the ball head screws? but have tried a alum key and phillips screwdriver to now avail.

any help would be much appreciated
thanks

could you post a picture of the knucles? knuckles is not that hard to deassemble. alternatively, you can remove the upper arm from the bulk head. most buggies, upper arm is held by a pin which locked by a e clip. e clip is very easy to be removed. once you take out the upper arm, just snap the dog bone in and put the arm back in place.

Ok I googled it and looks like this may be your rig..

It also looks like a 1/0th scale. Do you have a Manual to this?
